Many a time we dream of achieving great heights and with that aim in mind we start working for its fulfillment. Some are successful while many face failures. Among the failures, there are many who realise that they only dreamt but never took the efforts to really give out the best, while there are others who fail because of the lack of that extra hard work. A small proportion of these failures consists of those people who gave out their best but failed due to circumstances beyond their control. I had also faced a similar situation a couple of months ago when I was preparing for one of the toughest professional examinations - the Chartered Accountancy exams.Today where mothers-in-law ill-treat their bahus, I had to face an opposite situation where my elder brother was encouraged by his wife to throw our parents out of the house. The foolish reason was a small quarrel that took place many years ago and which could not be forgotten by our so-called bhabhi. I agree that quarrels are bound to happen and they are necessary in our lives but they should not be entertained at the cost of someone's career. My bhabhi used to literally shout at me for studying at night with lights on! If I used to study in daytime then my presence was a headache to her for no special reason. If I used to have my lunch and dinner then my eating was considered as too much by her. She had (in fact has) an equally bad behaviour with my parents. Moreover, the `throw-away' ceremony of my parents and myself took place just a month before my actual exams. Though it could not prove to be successful for them yet they were successful in making me feel the taste of failure in theexaminations.According to me, failure is the pillar to success and I am sure to come out with flying colours sooner or later. But will this prove to be an answer to many such young couples who treat their parents in an even worse way than a beggar on the footpath? Top
