Being an only child to my parents brings a whole hearted love to me…ours was a happy little family…until my mom passed away when I was 10!
After that my dad bought me up very well until my education days, during my final semester in college an issue made my dad to hate me as I was against him in selling a property which was built by my mom. He overlooked my opinion as a family member. While my friends supported my decision, my own dad did not – he disregarded my opinion about my mother’s property. Finally when he won it, along with I was dropped to the streets .He wanted me to survive all by myself. I tried to get help from my relatives but they didn’t listen to me and abandoned me. I was left with 2 pairs of clothes and a course completion certificate with 2 back papers in my last semester. I got anxious and depressed. Loneliness had hit me hard; I lost around 15 Kilograms of weight. I felt that my life was over!

Finally I got help from my family friends and my own friends. With their help I cleared the exams and joined a specialization course in my field of study! And finally I got a trainee job in MSME. Later I went back to meet my dad. He was still angry with me for a few years. Till date my dad and I , we live our lives at separate places in the same city.
Now I understand him better. Indirectly he has taught me to survive alone – at the end of the day you only have yourself. My Hobbies and my passion for music and movies made me motivated as I slowly understood life… as it’s a journey we are learning, experiencing, discovering and balancing it!
I always put on a happy face, as a normal person. I am an ambivert and that has helped me very well. I learned to live with myself and whenever I stumble I remind myself – this too shall pass!
