Thousand splendid suns- TAPMIEvery life on this planet is blessed with unique life and every creature has its own set of challenges every single minute in order to survive. In every one of these challenges we face, we evolve. We evolve to see a new and brighter sun , a ray of hope for today.Like any other creature on earth, I also faced some challenges, those which only made me grow.One day my mother fell off a bus while getting down and sustained a ligament tear in left leg. Theleg needed surgery to correct the condition. I was working for software firm in Bangalore and lived with my mother. We were the only two people in the house. I was preparing for CAT exam which was in November. And this happened in February.My mother insisted that the surgery could wait and that I concentrate on my studies. The doctor told me that if the condition was not corrected my mother would loose her joint. I convinced her to get the surgery done. After the surgery she was advised bed rest for 5 months , which meant me multitasking between my work ,home and studies. I cooked breakfast, lunch and gave everything necessary for her and went to work. At night I cooked dinner and got back to study.I was a lazy and irresponsible person at the beginning of February and by the end of August managed everything effortlessly.I realised that I could do this without complaining, and managed most of the tasks efficiently.The only motivation that kept me going was my mother. Everyday when I woke up ,I thought to myself, if it was me on that bed instead of her, what would she do? She would never give up on me. Would she.This one question kept me going.When you decide to fight the challenge, you find thousand splendid suns to give hope and light.
