The Saddest Day of My Life

21st November, last year, was the saddest day of my life. It was bitterly cold. Gusty and chilly winds were blowing from early morning. The day was cheerless. It looked very unpleasant. The result of my Medical Entrance Examination was out that day. I had a lurking (hidden) fear of my failure. The morning paper came. I consulted it quite half-heartedly. I knew that my chances of success in the said Examination were bleak. I turned over the pages. I hurriedly saw my roll number. It was not to be found anywhere. I again saw it very minutely but to my misfortune, it was missing. I broke down with tears in my eye l. I realized my bad luck. All other room-mates of mine had cleared the Entrance Test. It saddened me. The news broke my heart. It spoiled my mood.

My future was now in the dark. Now nothing could be done. It was too late. I repented the time which I had passed in idle pursuits. I felt ashamed of myself. My prestige had been lowered. I had fallen in the eyes of my friends and relatives. I had fallen in my own estimation. I tried to hide my face in shame. I very much wished to commit suicide. It was better to finish my life with my own hands.

By noon another bad news was in store for me. I was least prepared for it. My father who was in the wholesale fruit business sustained a heavy loss to the tune of 10 lakhs. It was news for which none of us was ready to hear it. It came like a bolt from the blue. We were undone. We were badly ruined. Our prosperity was wiped out. Our very existence was meaningless.

We were now on the brink of famine. The debtors would not spare us. They would drag us to the law court. Our respect was at stake. The name of the family was drowned. The whole world appeared to be a nonentity. The mind failed to do any serious thinking. The eyes got blurred. The head began to feel giddy. Now the very question of survival was staring us. -“We will survive or die unknown” was the paramount issue. We were bewildered. This irreparable loss had broken our backbone. All the fair-weather friends had left us. In fact, we had fallen on bad days. I could not eat anything that day. I slept with a heavy heart. It was really the saddest day of my life.
