When Hope and Optimism work better than medicines

Life is like a ride at a fare that has both ups and down. Sometimes you have to face tough situations and it can leave you low,drained and in a hopeless situation. I experienced this in my first year of college. I still remember the day when my first year exams had just got over .I was on a new high with the freedom of college life and my happiness had another reason that is that I was going to do my first summer job. A summer job meant earning money for the first time and this gave me a new high. It was the second day of my summer job and I was helping shoppers sample a new cold drink that had been introduced in the market. Our stall was setup outside the entrance of the supermarket so that we could approach every customer who would enter the supermarket. My job was to offer them a sample of the cold drink and if they liked it then guide them to the point from where they could buy our product. It was hectic work but I was enjoying it. Then suddenly after lunch time I felt giddy and had a stomach ache and then I become feverish. I did not bother much about my condition and continued working. Then when I threw up, my supervisor noticed that I was unwell and sent me home. By the time I reached home I was running a high fever. My parents consulted a doctor and he gave me some medicines. However  I was not able to eat anything and  any attempt to eat resulted in a vomit. As my condition deteriorated the doctor referred me to a hospital. Going to a hospital and being admitted there is something I have hated the most however I had no choice. The moment I went to the hospital they admitted me in the emergency . I saw so many accident patients lying around me and most of them were in a lot of pain. So much blood and agony made it a gory sight and I thought perhaps even my end had come and I am going to die. Every day there were so many tests being conducted on me and so many blood samples taken from me I felt that my end has come for sure. Then a little respite came when I was  shifted to a room.I got diagnosed with dengue but there was not much improvement in my condition. I was being fed by a drip and I was feeling drained and depressed.  I realized that my hopes of doing a summer job and being financially independent had been crushed and I would now be spending the rest of my holidays recovering from all this weakness that is if I made it alive from the hospital. Such thoughts occupied my mind and I felt miserable.My chain of thoughts was broken by the chirpy sounds of a young girl who would be about eight or nine.I found her occupying the bed next to mine.She had her doll next to her. I found her laughing and playful all the time.Sometime I felt as if her playfulness is making fun of me.Then one day she walked up to me and asked what was wrong with me.I told her that I had dengue.I still remember that I pitied myself at that point of time. She said don’t worry didi (elder sister) you will be fine. Her empathy did not have much effect on me and I asked her what was wrong with her. To which she replied “I have a hole in my heart” I was stunned by her answer. She said it in so simple a manner that I thought that perhaps she is joking. However her mother confirmed her medical condition. I found that she was to undergo a series of tests and surgeries to fix her health condition. However she was so calm. Every day she would come to me and try to cheer me up. I found her to be the best thing to happen to me ever since I had come to the hospital. Playing with her board games and chitchatting with her made me forget my pain and discomfort. She filled me with hope and optimism and I thought that when a little girl who is suffering from a much serious medical condition is cheerful and full of hope and optimism about the future then why can’t I be hopeful. The hope and optimism given by her was helping me more than the medicines that the doctors were giving me. In about ten days time I was discharged from the hospital. In this experience I had learned the importance of hope and optimism in one’s life

Experiencing a fresh start with relocation

Sometimes the events in our life can take us to a low and we begin to lose hope as all doors seem to be closed.Relocation can be a new door that can help us find a path that leads us out of our difficult situations .I faced this situation when I met with at accident while I was playing for the inter office woman football tournament. I being a sports person has faced many a tough situations . My life revolved around sports right from an early age and by the time I was in college I had been playing in a number of sports. I was an active person and felt that women's hockey was my calling. Even though for men cricket has all the money and fame. Where as when it comes to women’s sports practically all the games are equal. At best they help you get a job. Something similar happened to me .Passing out of college I found that being an active sportsperson helped me get a decent job in a company. Even during the interview the interview board had mentioned that I would be required to play for the women’s hockey office team. Initially all was well and our team won quite a few matches and tournaments. Then while returning from a tournament I fell from a moving train and faced multiple fractures in my left leg. I was in a lot of pain and when the doctors said that they would have to insert metal rods in my leg and I may not be able to play professionally.This statement brought me a lot of agony. When this news spread in my office .It generated a lot of gossip. Even though I had been a hard working employee , a section of the management felt that since my professional career as a hockey player had ended so the company should show me the door. When the news of such negative clamor reached me I started feeling very depressed. I wanted to earn an honest wage and the fact that some people thought that I was living on company’s charity made me feel very bitter. When my boss visited me I offered him my resignation as I did not want to accept charity. My boss was a compassionate person and said that you are an asset for the company and if you find you cannot handle the situation then I can get you transferred to another branch in another city once you are fit enough to join the office. It was a big decision as my parents would not let me i.e their only daughter go and stay alone in a new city. However I was determined to #StartANewLife so I opted to relocate to a new city and start life afresh. I relocated to another city and worked hard in my job as I did not want to give anybody the chance of saying that what I am earning is not my salary but charity. Luckily all my hard work jot noticed and appreciated. Here in this new office I have got several promotions. As playing hockey professionally would have put a lot of strain on my leg. I started playing Table Tennis and represent my office in the interoffice tournament.
Looking back I feel that relocating to a new city was a bold move that has helped me get ahead and make a fresh start in my life.

The lesson of togerherness

I was fairly good in my studies. I could pass my exams without much effort. This statement would be true but for the dreaded subject of maths.However hard I tried I could not remember the formulas. I even tried memorizing then but even this tactics failed. I could see all the numbers floating around in a jumble and this left me petrified. This was the case in class VIII it was a “must pass with good marks” situation for me as I wanted to take up science after class ten so I wanted to do well in all subjects. Without being good in math's there was no way I could have studied Science. I tried to work hard in math's but it was not a practical solution. My added hard work did not yield any results. Had it been another subject I could have made up for the low marks by getting good marks in other subjects. However this was not the case with math's. It was to be a full hundred marks paper so getting good marks in it was a must. Besides how can a person think of pursuing a career in the field of science without getting good marks in math's, as it is considered to be the foundation and integral part of the study of science.These thoughts occupied my find and I felt a lot of stress due to did.I could not study or focus on my school work.It was perhaps my drooping body language or my low spirits that made even my family very worried for me.Then one day the physics teacher of class eleven called me. She was both the best and the strictest  teacher of our school. She was such a strict teacher that students could not muster the courage of being inattentive in her class. Even the thought of going and speaking to her made them perspire with nervousness. My condition was no different I was very scared to go to her. I thought that maybe I have done something wrong for which she is going to scold and reprimand me. However when I went to her she looked at m and smiled. Perhaps it was the first time I had ever seen her smile.She lovingly asked me why I had been looking so gloomy for the last few days. I confessed to her about the problem that I was facing in the subject of maths. To which she said that since I was so good in science this meant that I had the analytical skills. If I applied them then I could get good marks in maths as well. In a choking voice I asked “But How Ma'am?” She said she would help me and so without any personal motive she started helping me in my studies. I found her to be a very warm person who was sharing her experience with me. This one to one sessions with her were very productive and I found her to be very encouraging and a very good mentor. She helped me to understand my fundamentals. She gave me a hope and optimism that in turn helped me conquer the monster called maths. Day by day my performance improved and I could get a firm grip on the subject. This time of being #together with her was very special it gave me hope and optimism for the future and also made me a better student. Even so many years after passing out of school I have fond memories of the time of togetherness that helped me overcome such a big hurdle in my life and giving me hope and optimism that still helps me face any situation in my life.

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना
मेरे नाम पे किसी सडक का नाम ना रखना
कुछ करना है तो अपनी दिल की गली में
एक कमरा मेरा रखना
