My father
"Life is a journey ..." It is a Universal
phrase. Maybe, it is true. Memory is a part of it. These memories are
sour-sweet-pungent and crispy...! And these are the memories of our loved ones
through which we are attached to them even when they are with us and though
they are not with us. My memories are
incomplete without my parents. Of course, today they are not with me ... but
are with me and will be at every moment of my life.
Today, through this blog I share a
very memorable and motivating incident of my father. But before that I want to say
something about the personality of my father so that the reader understands him
better. He was extremely positive, very energetic so to say bubbling with life and
very honest. He lived his life on his own terms. He was very daring and
took risks in life and business as well. He always told me that without taking
risk you can’t enjoy life. He didn’t waste time for any regret. I don’t forget
his saying, “ Do, what ever you want to do in life without any worry of it’s
result that would be in favor of you or not. But starts it with planning so you
won’t have any regret and don’t stop yourself keep trying until you
succeed.” So motivational words he had.
Once I went
Sanchi that is 60 kilometer away from Bhopal, with my bike TVS Scotty. My
mother told me not to go alone but father permitted me. I rode my Scotty very
confidently. I was riding safely. Then I
was 15-20 Km. away from Bhopal, as I was crossing a blind turning, suddenly a
Jeep appeared from the opposite direction. The driver of that vehicle was
driving so rashly that it hit me from the side and I fell down in a roadside
pit with my Scotty. I was injured badly and I had a lot pain but hadn’t that
much courage to come out of that pit. I was laid down for an hour and people
was passing by but nobody…nobody came to help me. In the way with difficulty I came out of that
situation and with the help of a motorbike rider I brought out my Scotty. It
was in riding condition. I rode it back home.
My parents perplexed and brought me to the doctor for check up. But nothing
was serious except some minor injuries but my ribs were aching badly and it
remained for almost a month.
It had been quite a while and then
came the chance to go Sanchi once again. My mother refused bluntly of my going
but dad encouraged me and said,” See Beta…! You have faced the accident but don’t
stop riding due to the fear of being injured. And remove this fear from your
mind. Ride your Scotty on that road once again, and prove yourself that you can
take risks. If you don’t do it today, you won’t face any challenge in your life
“And then I conquered my fear. Today, my father is not with me but his
teachings on life are with me. And now, I have learned to take risks.
My father always was ready to help
anyone. He believed that "kindness is the cause of happiness," While
I believe that mercy is the cause of sorrow. He helped people
without any expectation. He believed people should help each other. He helped l lots of people for the sake of humanity that I came to
know when I saw the huge gathering at his last journey. Actually he was a true
human being. (Veena Sethi)
