It's about a Legend!!

It's been a month since he passed away. Every time my father calls someone in the early morning or late night, I think he has dialled his phone. Every time my father brings a magazine to home, I think he has asked him to bring one. It feels like this birthday too, he will ask me to bring a book and will ask me which book I am reading or was reading lately. But I know nothing is gonna be the same. Me with Dadu I am talking about my late Grandfather ( Dadu as we called) Sri Shiv Ratan Thanvi. He left for his heavenly abode last month on this date but his memories lay fresh in our minds. Dadu was 88 years old. Dadu was an educationist, a reader, a writer, an enthusiast and had a never-ending love for books. Dadu believed in diary writing and was himself writing a diary for more than 40 years which is now a book, " Jag Darshan Ka Mela" .  Dadu always told his grandchildren to write a diary. He was proficient in Hindi, Rajasthani,  English, Bangla and Gujara...

This post is in the context of a question asked on the website Quora.com. The question was " If we all end up dying, what’s the purpose of living?". It is the answer to everyone who has such a question. See all the nests and wonder why birds made them. It's not easy for a man or for animals to make their home. It is a path filled with thorns.

You are a human which means you have a talent irrespective of your physic...

Academic Year 2017-18 Ends

Image
A life of student goes around an academic session. So, is mine. Today, another academic session ended with a cocktail of feelings- happiness, regret, enjoyment and grief. The happiness of doing so many things, the regret of not performing academically as I should, enjoyment of meeting so many new people, the grief of not able to manage everything, But I know time will bring something good for me. Happiness- The year was a roller coaster of experiences. In the summers, I wrote my first story and the most important feeling of appreciation from my grandfathers. Then, Yes I focused on my studies during Quarterly exams and did fairly good. Being almost every time in the top 5  and that too without tuitions (a trend in youth without which study seems impossible). And I have PCM. After that, the year went in touching the books, scribbling the feelings into words. I wrote a story. I started writing football match reviews. Receiving feedbacks was something nice...
