Life - As I've seen it = being convinced that daughters are garlands and not burdens. With such a flow of inspiration, plans started emerging in my mind. I understood the necessity of cultivating patience and bravery. Suddenly I felt as if I have become huge from the dwarf. I felt as if a spacious palace had emerged before my mind.
Now I became aware about my duties - administration of university office, handling of money transactions, keeping accounts, food arrangements for girls, security and cleanliness of entire hostel complex/campus and observing/maintaining hostel rules and regulations. I had no knowledge of any of these matters. I was in the unknown territory. I remembered God and sought His Blessings for this responsibility. I proceeded with the faith that I would learn as I proceed with my work. Thus, my childhood dream fructified.
Here is the first and the very crucial act of the hostel drama, demanding my skill of handling and understanding of the situation. This first act has given me the deep understanding of how to handle difficulties in future, with open mind and without any ego. So here is the first scene of the first act.
Mohan, office peon came and told me "Madam, Security Officer of the University wants to see you. I have made him sit in your office room". I had no information from the Chief Warden's Office about this Security Officer. So I became alert.
“Madam, Namaste, I am the Security Officer"
