My day

SO, I got the Deb Kumar Gupta memorial prize for getting a first class and also for securing the highest marks in English M.A-1( this is a just show-off guys). But I will tell you what makes this so special. It is sponsored by a lady in memory of her father. A lady I look up to. Our very own P.G ma'am. In fact she was very humble in letting me send her my own list of books. The first book in the list was Bhagavad Gita. I remember telling her that this book meant a lot to me and that I would be really happy if I get this.I am grateful to P.G ma'am (again), that my request was kept, along with most other books which I had mentioned in the list. My father gifted me a GITA when I was in class 8. He asked me to take it seriously when I was in class 11 and was turning into an atheist. But it has changed me in ways I can't explain. I am not an atheist anymore. If I am religious today, I know it is my choice, a choice that my father helped me to make, making me realize how wrong I was in so, so many ways. The reason that I manage to smile even in my father's absence today, is also attributed to this book.I miss you Babu and deep down I know that you are blessing me from wherever you are. It was a small acknowledgment of my hard work, significant in its own way but yesterday night could have been so much more ,if only you were there to share it with me. But do you know what? You too missed the priceless smile on your wife's face. She told me that someday, I will make her prouder, just the way you used to tell me, during those good old days, i would say. I promised her that I will. Miss you Babu.
