The moments of happiness are rare in the general drama of pain
Life of each and every individual is a rare blend of tears and smiles; sadness and laughter;
happy celebration as well as mourning. The pity is that tears far outnumber the moments of
laughter. Shakespeare has correctly said, “The moments of happiness are rare in the
general drama of pain.”
The bitter truth is that there are some days in the life of an individual that are very difficult
to forget. The events of those days remain indelibly etched in his memory forever, as they
are not ordinary. Such days are often instrumental in turning the course of his life. These
days could be sad or happy.
I find it really too difficult to forget the 30th of November, 2002, which was the saddest
day of my life. The memory of that day still sends shivers. It seemed that life had
conspired against me. I had taken the M. A. (Final) Exam. We were waiting for the results.
I had not done the papers well; still I hoped to get through.
