I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU!!

He has always been my inspiration, he motivated me a lot throughout my life till date.  A great personality who had a pure love for his mother tongue and country. A Punjabi writer who had written 10 books, 5 short stories books for children, Translator of numerous books from English to Punjabi, songs writer and who had appeared in every newspaper of his state for all accolades he won. he was Born in the year 1939 and stayed all of his life in Punjab. Retired as a Manager from the Indian Postal services and won more than 100 awards in the field of writing, poetry and literature. Today when you will go to his room, a library has more than 1000 books to read and learn more. But while I am telling all this, you must be wondering about whom I am talking about.

Friends this personality was my grandfather, S. Khushwant Kanwal. I lost him the day after I joined NITIE. My parents didn't tell me because they thought I would be worried. And  I am an unfortunate one who was not in the condition to go and see him for the last time. He loved me a lot till I was there at my home in Amritsar. I used to study in his room and he was very happy with me because my father was not very good at studies during his school days. So he used to tell me that one day I will do very good with my life and When I joined Tata Motors after my college, he was very very happy. Though he never enjoyed each and every moment with me because his condition started deteriorating after few months I Joined my job.

Every time I used to go home after 2 or 3 months and for every single day, he used to sit with me and talk a lot about his books and how I can do better in my writing skills as I started writing a short story after getting inspired from him. He always had that charm and a positive aura around him which made me used to talk to him endlessly.

I met him last December in 2014 and after that I was not able to go home because of my official work. I didn't make the first, second and third list of NITIE. And I was determined not to join any other college, so I planned to go home on 14th June, But when I got convert in the fourth list on 11th June then I planned to go directly to Mumbai here. Just after I landed in the Mumbai, next day he left me.

Now I feel that I could have used that time to meet him in last few months then today I could have much more satisfaction internally. I still miss him a lot and I hope I would be able to overcome this feeling internally. So please don't hesitate to do whatever you want when it comes to your loved ones. Express everything you have in your mind and spend time with them always. I wish he is calm and happy wherever he is. I hope I would make him happy always, wherever he is now.

For types of domestic violence, check: Domestic Violence in India My family faced domestic violence due to my father. I'm 26 and since the very first day, I started understanding worldly affairs I have witnessed my father abusing my mother every day. She has endured a lot. He has always been an alcoholic and a loser in his life. He married at the age of 22 when my mother was 18 and after one year I was born. My brother was born after two years.

I respect my identity!

"Hey! I guess, sometimes you find it hard to understand things because you wear big cloth on your head and things don't reach your mind because of that cloth ..... " she said and started laughing. She was not anyone else but a senior professor of my college with a good number of degrees and even she has written one book.  In short, she made fun of my look, my identity, my uniqueness and my faith in a set of principles I follow. I don't want to bring any religion into this conversation because for me religion is about controlling one's hatred and accepting others in their true forms. I haven't learnt religion to pray to God aloud in speakers at 4 AM in the morning so that everyone in the colony must know what I'm doing or to hurt people in the name of God. I have learnt religion to control my inner self and anger so that my actions are not driven by my perception but better by my observations. I look different, people stare at me when I ente...

Pro-BLEMS

These days describing problems have become so easy that you can convince someone with your hard defined situations. If we talk about learning things through hardships! What will you do, when things are becoming so confused that you have no choice than blaming others for your present state. I am not getting this or that, because you all are stupid! I never have had the chance to explore things because of you! My life has become miserable because of you! I am tired of this life and I can't tolerate all this fucking shit! Blah! Blah! Blah!.... These questions are usually signs of one's problematic situation or so called life with hardships. When we read something about motivation or self help, we usually get happy about life and pretend things acting lively all-around. This is a reality in today's world where everyone is looking for reasons to smile, laugh, live and stay. Living life has become more difficult than before. We are more concerned about money than happine...
