He will come with more strength!

“I will come out with more strength” he said. A soldier who has fought in his life to provide me the best and protect me from worst. My father who is right now all day at home because of the leg injury he got because of an accident few days ago. A bike rider hit him while he was walking and did not even bother to stop. My father drove the car home and then he realised the pain was not a minor one. He was taken to the doctor, the leg was bandaged and now he has to walk with the help of crutches. Even on the next day of his injury I remember he refused to take anyone’s help to climb up the stairs. Self reliant even when he needs help.

But this man who is barely at home in his normal days, in the school in the morning, meetings in evenings and painting at night, is forced to sit at one place with a bandaged leg. And the things he can do is watch TV and read newspapers. But this morning when he said the above words, “I will come out with more strength” I could not but feel ashamed of myself. For a simple reason! Here I am a nineteen year old girl grumbling about silly things, there is a man who is 56 not complaining about the injury but thinking of rising up more powerful then before. Here I am already bored with my studies, and dissapointed about getting admissions for M.A. here there is a man who at his age is doing his M.F.A. course just for the sake of fulfilling his dream which he saw in his youth. He is even ready to answer 10 papers together next year of both the years together as he will miss the exams of this year because of his injury.

Sometimes I wonder what intentions that Big Master up there has in his mind?? A person who really wants to study and has to give his exams is made to suffer and a girl like me who is not even keen of studying is quite healthy. Its not that I want to get fractured and sit at home. I have seen how terrible it is. Not juts for the person who has got it, but also the one who looks after him/her.

Today is father’s day! Actually I don't believe or celebrate such days. For me every day is mother’s and father’s day. But on this day I feel proud to say that I have the father who is an inspiration himself, even when he is bedridden. Hope he gets well soon and gets back to his paint and brush and his students in school.  I don't know how much time it will take him to stand without crutches but one thing about which I am sure is “HE WILL COME UP WITH MORE STRENGTH”
