why this post : ‘ my friend is donating money to a NGO to make differnce in their lives. And I just wish all those kids who get this help remember this and work from their end to bring happiness in their lives but NEVER forget the person who initiated this. This helps in eradicating bad elements/habits’
~~~~~~~
one thing I learnt from parents “Always remember your roots or people who helped you to grow in your life,its not to return favors but it will always help you to be humble and stay grounded however high you are flying“..
I can never forget how my parents sacrificed their happiness for our well being. There were times we lived in one room, 5 of us.My brother was appearing in his board exams,me in 7th and my younger sister. Because of our studies we used to study late nights and our parents would just get 2 or 3 hours of sleep before they leave for a teaching job or for performing duties in Air Force. Still mom would make sure that we had our breakfast.
Me and my bro were old enough to realize this and started studying outside of the room ,under the bathroom shade lit by a 40 watt bulb,lighting a kachua chaap. That was the time we realized how we need to support them. We stopped asking for new uniforms,would read from second hand books,no tutions till class 11, ride our dad’s bicycle to school which used to be 6-7 kms away.
I made sure to come first in my class just to get the scholarship from Air Force and then in engineering where fees was so high,chose to study in a worst college as per my dreams(dreamt to study at mysore college or belgaum as per my scores). Got scholarship in engineering for getting distinction in every semester.Yea even in engineering,bicycle was my way to commute. I remember in my 1 st year, all the seniors used to tease me for it as our college was outside the city and it wasnt so easy to ride a bicycle. I used to get so much angry but I channeled it in my studies.and all those people started respecting me after that.In the final semester i used to go to the college on my dad’s scooter (bajaj priya 87 model).
I can’t mention all those times but my Mom is the reason for all that I Am today. Her daily routine for 16 years was , get up at 5 am, do paath(pooja) for 30 mins, 6 am prepare the breakfast,7:30 am leave for school,3 pm come back from school and prepare lunch if me or dad have not done that, 4:30 pm :walk 5 kms one way to the village to get fresh milk of buffalo aur milk khud hi nikaalti thin. come back by 6:30 pm: start preparing for dinner. by 10 pm she would want to sleep by but will sit awake till we are studying and finish our daily home work that dad had given. Almost same schedule was of dad !!
Even in our worst conditions at home,I always wanted to represent my school in K.V sports meet at zonal and state levels. Luckily we got a new coach at school for Hockey and thus decided to join hockey even being best in athletics 200 and 400 mts and relays. They took us to Bangalore,Bokaro and many other places every year,i got selected to the next level to play for the state. But I never forgot my KV who helped me to achieve this. Thanks to dad and mom.
I never got a feeling of being rude to people or being arrogant to any single entity.Any of my achievements never let me become a snob. I always stayed humble, remembered my friends who helped me in tough times. Any of my childhood friend who have met me now,says ‘geet tu bilkul waisi hi hai, tinke ka bhi change nai aaya tujhmen, waisa hi passion hai tere main’ .Wonder I fought for my friends blindly not knowing whose fault it was.If my friend was hurt, that is it!! I would call names for the person who would hurt my friend (i still do) not knowing how that person is but who cares at least my friend is smiling for the moment.
I never befriend a person who has hurt my friend .I know i would loose a chance to know a new person but i dont want to when i have a good friend with me. Hazaar aur log hain iss duniya main dost banane ke liye. Call it stupidity !!!
Stupidity reminds me of an incident. 2 years back ,when i was in love with A .He told me that his ex gf keeps on pissing him off,she always wants to know if he has found someone special or otherwise try to suggest to find. He did tell her that its not her business to ask but she didnt stop.He told me this and
I said : ‘ yaar aap ajeeb ho,bluntly bol kyon nai dete’.
He said : bola to kitti baar.
Me: ‘fir bhi ni maati? ajeeb bandi hai!’.
He said: ‘to aap bol do na! ‘ .
Me: ‘main? bol to main doongi per ajeeb hai main to usse jaanti bhi nahin.’ .
anyways he gave me her number .I called her up aur bass bol diya. keh diya usse ki ye sab poochne ki zaroorat nahin hai aur apni life enjoy kare wo. friend ke liye ye sab bhi kar jaati hun not even knowing the conseqences. Wonder jiske liye fight maari thi wo aage chala gaya.
But whatever i learnt since my childhood, it helped me to be a simple,non arrogant, full of fun girl. I am always there to help anyone who helped in my life.Even people who hated me ,when were in need ,i helped them. but i became vulnerable.totally forgot my strengths or saybecame less confident. abhi bhi mujh main confidence ki kammi hai.Never appreciated myself or took any credit. I think i forgot the ‘Balancing line’ .

Goin’ Back To When I Was Young
And I, Treated Life like It Would Never End
But Then I Grew Up
Got A Little Clued Up

Finally On My Way
Coz If You Knew Where I Come From
Then You Would Understand Why I Sing This Song
Then You Would Understand Why I Sing This Song in such anger!!
Yeah I Put My Hand Up
In Fact It Made Me Man Up
And Finally Make a Change
You have a nice day.
