The show must go on - ABHISHEK KUMAR MISHRA (TAPMI)

The value of grandparents in a kid’s life is something that cannot be described in words. Grandparents are someone who always stand by you and support you no matter what the situations are. They always want you to achieve everything possible. Such were my grandparents, I never saw my grandmother but I had my grandfather. No matter how low I would be in my life, one call from him would always bring a smile on my face. It was the first year of my engineering, I was in a city that was totally new to me, was meeting new people and making new friends. I was having a good time altogether. My end term exams were close so I was busy preparing for them. I always use to talk to my grandfather before the exams so as to seek his blessings and I always feel it is his blessings because of which I am what I am. One day before my exams I got a call from my father, I received the call and I heard him crying. It was the first time ever in my life that I heard my father crying. He informed me about the sudden demise of my grandfather. I was shocked. Words can’t describe the feelings I had at that point of time. I remember only one thing, that I had only tears and no words. The day after I had my first engineering exam and the person who was the key source of my motivation was no more. I could not gather up myself. I was completely broken. I never wanted to give my exam. But his words kept striking in my head. It was his dream to see me as an engineer. And I gathered myself up for him, so that wherever he is, he always be proud of me. And I gave my exams and came out with flying colors. It has been almost four years since his demise but today also whenever I go to give an exam I never forget to seek his blessings and make sure that I make him proud always.
