OBSERVATIONS OF LIFE SITUATIONS THAT EVOKE QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES

Living in a nuclear family is a more a trend thees days but i was lucky enough to live with my grandparents and regardless of the bookish knowladge they have given me a lot in every step and on every stage of life they are my first and true teachers. What ever i am today i am because of them. They gave me a character full of moral values. Nobody could have trained me like they have. I don't think i can imagine even a day without them.

But there are always times which show you the worst side of the life, same happened with mean year ago. My grandfather was going through some dental problems, everyone was cool with it as dental issues at the age of 85 is considered normal. It was about 6 months there was no betterment in the tooth so we deecided to change the doctor. On 27th October we went to a dotor in Greater Noida with all his exray's and thta doctor told us that he is suffering from oral cancer and that too last stage. When i heard all that i didn't know how to react. I felt as everything is over and actually everything was over for me. I was all blank I could just see my father crying and at that time my grandfather did not know about all these things as he was in some other room so we had to act normally in front of him which was soo difficult as I could not stop tears rolling down my cheeks.

When we came back  home I was all shattered I locked myself in the room and cried till the time I felt easy. My grandfather called me and said,”I know I am suffering from cancer but that’s okay, my life has not end yet and even if it does it’s okay I have lived for 85 years and I have earned everything love , respect dignity and happiness years of age”. It gave me a positive energy and I thought not sit back and cry but do whatever I can do for him since that day I was for him day and night. While all this was happening I thought that nobody can tell us what would happen next second. For us everything changed in just seconds. And now all we could do is to deal with them and face them.

And moreover my grandfather is a person who has never drank or smoked so it was a bit shocking for us it made me think a lot.

·       Initially I thought that why am I the only person with whom all this is happening

·       Why is god giving us such a difficult time

·       When will my family get to normal

·       Why does my grandfather has to suffer soo much

All these things forced me to think a lot but the only option we had, was to be strong and face the bad times. It has been one year now and by the grace of god everything is fine and my data is leading a happy healthy life. I wish to see him healthy for now and forever . 

            SIGNIFICANT  LIFE  EXPERIENCE

Whenever we talk about trip to abroad its always a dream for most of us. Some are able to full fill it in a early age and some takes years to accomplish their dream. I could dream more of the abroad trips because half of my family lives in the U.S.A and they often asked us to visit them but it was a bit difficult to make a plan because of my studies and school. But in November 2013 we had a real good reason to forget everything and take a flight to the U.S, my sister was getting married. I was so excited to learn that my sister with whom i have shared almost everything as a child is now finally getting married. My semester exam had just got over i did not have any kind of burden on me at that time. I was all geared up for the shopping sessions, parties and then finally to see her as a bride. Also it would be the first time when i would be seeing a christian wedding it was a very new thing for me. During all this happiness and excitement one thing which was killing me from inside was the question if i would get the visa or not, i kept asking my father that how much chances i have, and he repeatedly told me that don't be much hopeful 70% you are not getting the visa.

I would be a little upset but i never let the hope inside me die. So finally the day came when me and my mother had to go for the approval or disapproval of visa. i was a bit tensed,nervous,excited and scared too. I had mixed feelings, my mother told me "don't worry, i have a gut felling that we both are getting the visa " but i thought she is saying that as she didn't want me to get upset. But i was lucky enough to even stand there and experience all that. Finally the lady called out our name i was pretty much confident that we would make it. She asked our names and asked the reason why do we want to go to U.S.A, i told her that my sister is getting married and that would be the first wedding in our house after my parents got married. I told her that i have the wedding card and the venue where the wedding would take place. We carried all our bank and property papers along but she was least interested in seeing all that. She just kept our passports and said you can collect it after some time, for some time i seriously did not know what happened. When i was confident enough that yes finally our visa has been accepted and now officially i can go i was so happy at that moment.I called up my sister immediately and told her everything she was so happy listening to the good news. we started arranging our stuff together and we were very excited about everything.

FINALLY the day came when we had to take a flight for the USA, our first flight was from Delhi to Amstradam. we had a midnight flight, my father was not accompanying us because of his buisness issues. First three hours were not so good as we had to do our paper work and everthing ,but the moment we got in the flight it was entirely a new thing for me to experience. I had never seen such a huge plane, it was a double storied and there were three rows which had about 400-500 seats. It was such a huge thing.Our flight was of 22 hours which was tiring but exciting at the same time. We had to change our flight from Amstradam and the next flight was from Amstradam to New York and the last flight was from New York to Austin where we had to go. 

we reached all tired happy and excited. All my extented family was there to welcome us it was so great to catch up with them after almost an year. After one week it was my sisters wedding we had to do a lot of arrangements for that that one week went away such fast. Finally the wedding day had come i was seeing a christian wedding for the first time, all the customs and traditions were so different from ours. I was the brides made and i wore a very pretty white dress with my sister all that made me feel so good as it was an entirely different experience for me after the wedding we went to all the places. Till date it was my best experience and i hope that it happens again
