"What harm is there in meeting the guy?" - Shantamma was shouting at Sarika. "What benefit is there in meeting?"- Sarika questioned her mother back. " No one can ever win you in argument. Do whatever you want!"- Shantamma huffed. "Amma please, all my life I have done whatever you told me to. But not this time."- Sarika told curtly. "Ya,as if you have sacrificed a lot for us."- Shantamma was angry this time. "You people are so ungrateful Amma. I regret my decision sometimes."- Sarika picked up her bag and left. Shantamma was silent. She wanted Sarika to get married soon for many reasons. Sarika ran as fast as she could to catch the bus. She climbed the bus and to her dismay the bus was crowded. The conversation between her and Shantamma kept playing in her mind. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Do you think she would agree to marry me?"- Sukesh raised his brows. &quo

I thank people who pushed me, That's how I discovered my wings. I thank people who criticised me, That's how I knew about my strength. I thank people who left me alone, That's how I fell in love with myself. I thank people who cheated me, That's how I learned to trust people. I thank peoplewho took me for granted, That's how I invested my time for myself. I thank people for everything they gave me, That's how I cherished life and its lessons!
