UNFORGETABLE MOMENT
I do not know whether you will believe or not on what I am
going to write, but it is a true story. This
story was there in mind from my childhood days but today i thought that I
should share with all of you. I do not know how many people believe on
astrology but in my case, i was forced to believe on it more precisely when i
was on 10th standard. Do you believe on what teacher’s say, for
instant, if you become naughty then you will definitely fail in examination? I
was forced to believe when i was on 7th standard. Please read further......
I was in 4th standard in village primary school;
i had gone for fishing along with my other friends during class time. But as it
became too late to return teacher went around searching for us and he found us
fishing. So he brought all of us to the class room and called all our parents
and complained against us. But instead of scolding us, our parents scolded the
teachers saying that they were irresponsible. So the teacher became too angry. Next
day when we came to school teacher asked us to spell the CHALK. Nobody was able
to spell it, even i did not know it. But when teacher asked me, the correct spelling
came from my mouth. I do not know how it came. Teacher thanked me and said in
this village you will alone pass in 10th standard and all other will
fail.
In 1999 i completed my primary school and went to start
minor school. During that time due to great cyclone in Odisha most of the
schools and colleges were washed out, but fortunately where i had joined that
school was saved. I finished standard 6th in 2000s and admitted for
7th standard. On our way to school we had to cross the river. During
that time there was no good road facility and i did not have cycle also. One
day it was raining heavily, Father was in Kolkata and sister had gone to aunt’s
house, me and my mother were at home. Nobody
went to school that day because of the heavy rain but my mother compelled me to
go to the school. So despite of the rain i went to school and reached school at
11:30. When my teacher saw me and he didn’t scold but rather gave me his towel
to dry my hair and told me that in 10th standard I would only pass
among all in the village. I did not take it seriously.
I finished my 7th standard and went for high
school education. I am not saying that i was a brilliant student but i think
teacher’s grace was there always with me. When we reach the 10th
standard, one day we all students went to a astrologer to show our palm and to know
whether we will pass in 10th standard. So the astrologer checked
everyone’s hand and said all of you will pass. So we all became happy and came
back to our homes. On the same day evening that astrologer came to my house and
told my mother that he had checked every one of my friend’s hands and had
promised that your son will only pass in the village. I feel like crying when i
remember about this matter. And the same astrologer had told me ‘in your life
you will get two precious things which will make you life in better condition’.
But still i did not take it seriously.
After writing the 10th standard exam we all came
back to the village and i started teaching the primary class students. And till
now i cannot forget my exam date, because on the first exam day our Bollywood
star Amresh Pori passed away which made us to remember the exam day forever. So
after few days my result came and whole village was surprised. Out of 15 students
from my village i was only passed. But other student started blaming me saying
that teacher provided copy to me so i passed the exam. But my mother refused me
to quarrel with others. After that our family tragedy life started for which i
was not able to continue my education. So i came to Bangalore in 2005 to earn
money. From 2005 to 2009 i was moving from one company to another company to
work for higher salary. But whatever i was earning was nothing to pay our loan.
But in 2009 i got two precious things and that astrologer and teachers proved their
words were to be correct. That two precious things which the astrologer
mentioned was nothing but my two friends(Balaji and Mahek). Those who pulled me
out from the hell and made me graduate and now i am pursuing my master degree.
I have never seen the god but i have realised the god in my two friends who
have appeared in our critical situation to help us. When all our relatives went
way from us, they came to our rescue.
“So sometimes some things make us unforgettable in our life”.
I was thinking to share all this moment from long time but today i did it so. Thank
god for giving me two precious persons in my life. They have remained a perennial
support in my life. Happiness is a inside job” But happiness which i was
looking for in the University was perhaps not the cup of my tea. When i entered
University i had met with a good friend and we both were very happy. But one
day she left me alone to be with other which i cannot forget till my death. It
hurts me so much. But i must learn to let go in life all the hurt feeling.
