“There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
One incident in my life needs a special mention here. This incident I am about to write, has changed me and evolved me into a better person. My second sessionals were in about four days. I used to be crazy about a chocolate called Cadbury Nutties. I still remember the date, day and the time. It was around 7.00 pm on Thursday on 25th of October, 2007. I had searched for Nutties, in like four nearby stores. Unfortunately I was sad as I couldn’t find. You can imagine how crazy I was that I borrowed a cycle, Hero Hawk from a friend of mine. I was on my way to a store about a kilometer from my hostel. I wasn’t finding very comfortable to ride that cycle, but I didn’t care. I was going to get Nutties.
Suddenly my cycle lost its balance. I fell down. People gathered around me. Poor me, I was more concerned to check if my specks were intact or not! People were telling me to go to a hospital. I got my specks and when I touched my face I saw blood coming out of my forehead in large volume. I kept my cycle in a store. I went to the hospital. After some time they said I needed stitches. I was scared. I felt some pain in my hand. I told them to also get me some pain killer for my right hand as it was under a bit of pain. They told that they needed to do get an X- ray done. They first did my stitches on my forehead. Then, they got my X- ray done. Till then, my friend saurav and srikant came to the hospital. Within five minutes of the X-ray, they told me that I had broken my hand. I had broken a cashew shaped bone called scaphoid bone. By then Rajiv and Saiganesh visited me in the hospital.
The doctor told me it would take at least 10 weeks to heal and I needed to get my hand plastered. I was really shocked. I had just played counter- strike and was about to get myself a chocolate, but suddenly I have landed in a hospital with a broken hand. That’s life! The uncertainty factor is always there. It’s like at one moment you are the king and the very next moment you are seen asking for money. That’s life. Every moment is unexpected. Especially, when you are n’t expecting it.!I called my father. There was no other option but to get my right hand plastered. That was the moment; when I thought I would really faint. I had my exams in four days! My right hand was broken which means that I wouldn’t be able to write my exams. I got my hands plastered, got my forehead stitched. My friends took me back to my room. I narrated this story for like twenty times to my friends who had come to see me. I got a lot of sympathy then.
But the real problem was still unsolved. What about my sessionals? I went to the director. He allowed swarup to write my exams. I would be dictating the answers and he would be writing. He is from a different branch. He wrote all the papers for the second sessionals. It was impossible for me to learn the diagrams. Being in mechanical we had to memorize a lot of diagrams. He stayed up till 2 am at night to memorize my diagrams. I would like to mention that it was very kind of him to have done so much for me. I sometimes feel that I have been blessed with some of very good friends. They have done so much for me. I take this opportunity to thank all my friends, for being there always for me, whenever I needed them.
Life has its ups and downs. You need to have the courage to face it from the front. There is always a way out. There will always be someone to help you. You need to seek help. There is no point in getting discouraged and crying. Make your way out. And be grateful. Grateful, to the numerous people who have helped you in your life.
