=Life - As I've seen it
students were of my age and were staying in the girls' hostel. Seeing this, the "eternal" question popped up in my mind - how much freedom and independence these girls are enjoying in the hostel life". I was under the illusion that to remain outside means freedom. I also wished for such freedom and enjoyment! Alas! Such thought-castles are always built in the dreams during childhood. However, such dreams are hardly fulfilled but the memories are ingrained in the mind. Slowly and surely, I felt as if these memories are indicating something to me. I had a premonition that such thoughts were surfacing in my mind for some definite purpose. Time thus works at its own pace and whatever is going to happen, happens at the exact right moment.
i One evening, my door-bell rang. I was surprised to see three ladies standing outside when I opened my door. Sensing my surprise, they announced that they were the resident of Sarojini Naidu Ladies Hostel of M. S.: University. They just came to know from the office of the chief Warden that I have been appointed as the Warden of their hostel. Their hostel committee had decided to arrange "Welcome Party" in my honor. They came to invite me for the party.
I was overjoyed to see such happy faces of these ladies. They lovingly mentioned that they were my daughters and I was mother to them. Hearing such nice sentiments, love overflowed in my heart. I can never forget this moment. Such a beautiful and memorable opportunity had knocked at my door. | firmly believed that this was God's Grace!
