One must have got to read many times the Sanskrit Verse "Janni Janambhumi Swargadapi Gariyasi" which means that Mother and the Motherland remain above all. It is very true esp. in my context as most of the achievements in life has happened because of the push from my mother's end and her name is Mrs. Kiran Bala Devi. She has been a personality who has been very much my strength and has never become my weakness as because if she is not around when I leave the city for some purpose I still do not feel alone. She has been behind my education and her words shouting Chalo Padho, Padho which is about come-on do the study has pierced my ears since childhood.
With the thought of being my pillar of support for almost every decision in life from buying a home to being a marathoner and now the thought of doing a Ph.D. has helped me to grow in life. Like any other guy who does not like an over-ruling mother I also have some hatred for her when I was in a relationship with a woman, but the lady in her who understands things very well she clearly helped me to get over that relationship and thus I survived back in life. Although, I am not into any active relationship from the past three years I do not find any gap or void in my life because of her well-managed behavior.
The same behavior traits are to be found in my sister Shweta Srivastava and father Mr. Upendra Vidyarthi, who feel proud about my achievements and back me up from far which still makes me feel better rather than feeling alone and lonely. Now, with all these so-called unpampered love where my life has gone through social restrictions has helped me to remain better in the eyes of law and Indian society which has a different mindset. I would say that my mother tougher stance in my life has helped me to overcome many failures and hurdles in life. The same could be said for my teachers who were in Holy Cross and if I would like to mention few names as I was inclined more towards the female teachers then Miss Manjeet Kaur, Mrs. V. Parthasarthy and above all Mrs. Archana Bhatnagar totally stood behind me and the same could be called for Sister Betsy, who was behind my career and developing my thought process without becoming a narcissist and thus helped me to get closer to my school. With few more to name the tougher ones were Miss Nirmala, Miss Shusma Srivastava and the other being Miss Vibha Devi who was although very much loud in terms of scoldings for any mistake but was certainly very much with full of love and adulation.
The only teacher who remained behind me as a pillar of support from G.G. P.S, Bokaro where I joined after Class Xth and the male teachers who were bad mannered with no self-respect in them with beating the students mercilessly the only Angel there was Mrs. Urvashi Talwar, whom we use to give a lot more respect and although I never went on having the thought of waxing eloquent for her still was near to her. When I reached Delhi for the purpose of study I use to give her phone calls occasionally although my talks were full of sense as in spite of she being very much beautiful I never has any thought of crossing any limits whether in talks or in terms of behaviour because of the social impact in life and for that certainly father's words were a constant reminder which he used to say that if you will do anything wrong before us we will be able to protect you but if you are alone then you have to think about your own safety first and behave accordingly. Now, she belonged to a Punjabi clan which is already very volatile and thus my nearness towards her was all just for getting me connected as her words use to be very soothing, and in spite of my father and mother pushing me up for helping me back to the studies her one single statement which was a gentle reminder that the world is getting far more towards education and educated once are getting more respect, so where do you want to see yourself after 10-15 years. You would like to see into that class which is an educated one or the other who loiters around with no certification and nothing to show in terms of education which remains the class and style.
So, this was too much for me to understand and with little struggle and monetary help from my parents who were my father and mother I got into the mode of studying and working and the desperate attempts of all those who tried to be a hurdle fall flat and thus today I am a part of the better-educated ones and with a Degree which reads aloud of my achievements saying me as an M.A in Sociology, I feel more of respect towards my mother along with my lovely lady-teachers and of-course the nation which understood me better in the long run and all the people who go through my Blog page "Silence Judgement" I feel a sense of gratitude towards them and thus it helps me to discover every-day some new knowledge over Google and continue my life with better thoughts and expecting more from it.
P/S: Yesterday, in the post I have written about the 72nd Independence Day of India but it stood out to be the 73rd one which I rectify thought this postscript. I have all the love for my nation and love seeing it's growth including the railways with Vande-Bharat Express going to run in the various zone it gives us Indians an immense sense of Pride. Jai Hind!
