An Exemplar. . .1

"Everyone has their own way of learning and living. And it becomes easier when you have someone who can guide you for the basics of life." 

Since the time, I can remember, the person who always guided not only me but my entire family on goods and bads of life, my grandmother,my dadi.

A lady with silvery hair,dark lips and immense strength. She is one of the strongest part of everything what we have, what we earn and what we take success as .

Every struggle she faced, the way of her working and how well she tackled is something,one must learn.

As every daughter is princess of her dad,she (my dadi) was also queen to her father. Getting things done on every of her wish, was the first priority of her father. Life was good to her and everything was going well.

But life and time is not same to anyone, always. She was just five, when she lost her mother,her father lost his wife.

On very insisting ( by relatives),he decided for second marriage so that kids won't suffer from any hurdles. Unlike others,her ( my dadi's) step mother was very good and polite to her and family.

Time moved on and at the age of nine,she got married. Unknown of fact, what's happening around her, she got married to a wonderful person,my dadaji,my babu (who's no more but is always with us.we all cousins use to call him babu as my papa and chacha used to call him by the same).

Coming to in law's, and suddenly getting into new life style was difficult. Things were not all same as they were there in her father's home. But she never complained and made her in law's home as hers by heart. She actively involved herself in all the activities over there and learnt the things of which she was unaware.

After some years, her father in law decided to distribute everything he had, among his six sons. He simply told his sons to distribute houses, properties and everything among themselves, and now every of his son wanted the best part.

To avoid any conflict,my dadaji (babu) asked for the portion whatever was left at the end. And not strange,he got shed. He was not at all sad but thought of his family and thus decided to shift to rewa from Allahabad.

He kept his shed on rent. Coming to new place and having very few money in hands- my dadi and babu lived on a very small house with kids for many years. My dadi and babu- both kind hearted and believed to help others.

But Babu's principles of living was like fulfilling others before owns. Whosoever came to him-was being treated good,no matter he had grains for himself and family or not.

This basically, started creating problems of food and many things for himself and family. They never complained but gradually it became reason of many rifts among their thoughts and way of doing work.

Babu's simplicity and generous nature always gave chances to people to cheat on his working from hotel to factory, from agencies to shop and many more. And it created difficulty for dadi to manage everything at the same time. She had to look for house, for kids and their upbringings along with wobbling financial problems. Half and more of Babu's earning were spent on other needy people, of which many betrayed him as well.

Day by day,it was getting difficult and more difficult as dadi was also worried for her children's life, their marriage and settlement. Like every mother, she also never wanted that her children would face any problem in life that they faced.

One day she went to Allahabad for some rituals along with younger sons, leaving her elder son at home with babu. It was day time and babu went to work,her elder son was trying to cook but the fire suddenly expanded and he died. Message about the incident reached her and she broke from inside.

After few days, she decided to strengthen herself and family bcz her eyes were not at all ready to see her husband and other kids broken. So, she chose Almighty, seeking path.

She started devoting herself to god along with managing entire family.
