Regret of Life





It was an exam day. I was well-prepared for the examination. In the morning, I got ready. My Aunt, who was living with me, happened to have a doctor's appointment near my college. As a result, we began our journey together in an auto-rickshaw. Stress used to get the best of me during exam time. I was just going over some lessons with myself in my head. There was an unexpected jolt for me. For a brief moment, I felt completely blind. Something unexpected happened. I was on road and my Aunt gave me hand to stand up.

Yes, our rickshaw was involved in an accident.

Some scratches were visible on the hands and legs. Apparently, there was no significant injury to both of us. 

My aunt advised that we should rush to your exam first. So she called a second rickshaw, and we arrived at my college. My aunt stated that she was OK and that she had anyway a doctor's appointment.

Slowly, I began walking. I had foot pain but was able to get to my exam room.

While I was writing, I saw that blood was dripping from my palm and leaving stains on my paper. However, I continued to work on the answer sheet.

After finishing, I realized that one of my legs was fully swollen, and I was virtually unable to walk. My friends inquired about me. I told them about the incident. They assisted me in getting home.

My uncle took me to the doctor when I arrived home and saw my position. Finally, due to a hair crack in my leg, I received a plaster.

I passed all of my exams, including the practical exam that required me to work on a lathe machine.

But, as I was thinking on all of this today, I realized that I had become so engrossed in my own pain that I had entirely forgotten that I was with my Aunt. She had a scratch on her nose and some scratches on her arms. Today I believe I was so selfish that I had not worried about how was she?

When you're focused on your own pain, you lose sight of what others are going through.

I am genuinely regretful for my deeds.

Tell me what you feel in the comments.

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...

Forgiveness is happiness

I came back from the office at 11 pm. I was very tired and wanted rest. Today only I had salary and cash was there in my wallet. After freshen up, I just had dinner and slept.  Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door.   “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door.  “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied.  “500,” he said.  I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet.  Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.  I immediately asked my younger brother, “ Hey Sam, have you taken money from my wallet?”  He replied “ no,”  I thought “ Ok, I might have lost somewhere.”  But, I doubted Sam as I found his eyes were telling a different story. I decided to watch him. The next day, I found that again Cash is less. Now my suspect became stronger and I just decided to keep watch on him. As it was a holiday, we sta...

Truth is stranger than fiction.

My boss, Anant, was of mid-thirty. He was a good guy and a jolly person. We were three in the office.  Myself Karan, working as a trainee engineer. And an assistant named Vaibhav. Whatever work was there, we used to distribute and do the work. But many times, we used to go to customer or vendor sites; there would be nobody in the office. So, Anant decided to have a receptionist for the office. He explained to us, “She will handle office documents and call management.” He told me to give an advertisement in a local newspaper in Pune. I and Vaibhav immediately completed the job. Boys will be boys. Both of us were very happy with the idea that one girl would be there with us for the next few days in the office.  Finally, the day of interviews came and one by one girls started entering for interviews. Anant had selected few girls for the interview. Vaibhav and I, both were so excited that we told Anant that there is no appointment with any customer as well as vendor. W...
