Life of drivers

 

From kindergarten to 12th grade I used to go to school with my dad who sat at the back of the bike in between my dad and my sister always clutching onto my dad's shirt sometimes sleeping and putting my head on his shoulder without caring about anything believing that my dad won't let me fall down, So it was a time when my dad would drop and pick me up from school, as it went for another 14 years from kindergarten but after getting into 7th grade they started to practice me to use public transport in times when my dad couldn't make it to pick up me from school. years went by, It became the crucial months of my life, the last 3 months of the school years when my dad met with an accident and had a fracture in his left shoulder by God's grace doctors told us that surgery isn't necessary so he had to take rest from 3 - 6 months. So they arranged an auto for me in the morning and I had to take public transport in the evening either by bus or auto. Life of the drivers isn't easy as it looks, they have to drop someone they pick up at their destination before going home even if it is something serious. One evening I took an auto from school to home before reaching a stop which was 2 stoppings before mine, that auto uncle got a call, attended it and after keeping his phone in his pocket he became furious and asked me where should I get down, he became tensed after hearing that my stop is quite distant from there, observing his hurriedness I told him to drop in the next stopping from where I have to walk a little more than I usual do. He felt so grateful and thanked me alot and I felt so happy for helping him. They are humans and they do have families like us. The bus drivers couldn't even do this, as they weren't allowed, they had to sit there and drive off the passenger to their destination. And it's not that easy to sit in the same place and focused on the same road which they gone through atleast 15 times a day. But still they get a earful from public if they halt the bus for more than 20 minutes having their break. I used to get angry on drivers for coming late to the stopping or not having a bus for a long time later I realize it wasn't their mistake.
"It isn't easy right"?

  Korea Day Today we had the 9th Korea Day at Madras Christian College, It was such a blessing to get a wonderful opportunity to learn the Korean language and its traditions with so much fun and excitement because we have great supportive and cheerful 선생님 (Teacher) and classmates, The day started with rehearsal and soundcheck of the choir and other dance practice. Then we had pizza for lunch with everyone I felt that I was in a family get-together. Those lovely and joyful seniors treated us as their friends despite of age difference. And ceremony was switched on with random K-pop songs and dances which were followed by the arrival of the chief guest and the graduation of the Korean language class students. Then we had flashmob songs which consisted evolution of K-pop throughout the years pursued by the 'Arirang choir' and commemorative photos with everyone in the hall and then we came out to serve food for the guests. All these months we had so much fun while learning and we al

PLANS, FOR GOOD

Hello folks, hope everyone is doing great, Since it's my first blog I would like to start it with some spiritual stuff that I personally experienced in my life, I believe this verse from the bible which goes ''My plans aren't yours'' I could explain this with an incident from my life. A year before when I was in the 12th grade, I wanted my career to be in medicine specifically as a dental surgeon, I devoted most of my time to dreaming and working hard for my dream. although I wanted to become a dental surgeon so badly I still kept my career and my future in god's hands, after a month I completed my board exams and started to prepare for my entrance exam, within a month I had to face my exams, although I didn't have a perfect score but passed by god's grace, But then my parents stepped in saying you can do whatever you want but not medicine which made me step back from a dream in which I didn't realize that one step would part me away from the pat

SLEEP

So let me start the blog with a valid question, How many hours will you spend for sleeping in a day?..... My sleeping hours got reduced in the past 3 months I would sleep for 5 hours a day whereas a human has to sleep at least for 8 hours is the doctor's prescription. But you guys, never think of me as a spirited or bustling person those words never suit me. Sleep is a wonderful activity for active beings, by sleeping your anger can go down, and can be relieved from unwanted stress and overthinking, and it will even boost your mental energy. Moreover, you can escape from reality for a while, which means when you wake up from sleep you'll have the confidence to encounter and conquer the battle with which you have been struggling for days. And I have heard people saying those who sleep a lot are sluggish humans, Does it even make any sense?.... Everyone knows how important sleep is, in an individual's life. After a long tiring day even if I get a 10-minute nap that would be s
