Happy sad....

It was a happy...sad..proud...all in one feeling after I received Mummy's mail today.
Flashback....the background first....the Gandhinagar location of the company I work for celebrated its 10 years anniversary on 4th June. I've been with the lcoaiton for 8 years. I was asked by a senior to prepare a speech for the occasion that mentions about what I've seen as far as the struggle for the location and projects is concerned in my tenure. I jotted down all I felt, got the draft approved, rcorded in a speech and sent across. It was played during the celebration function and it was a proud thing for me.
Ihappened to mention this to Papa-Mummy and Pranav and Mummy asked me to send the speech to her which I did...

....back to today...
I got a mail from Mummy that they heard the speech taht I had sent. She wrote that Papa didn't utter a single word and in fact had tears in his eyes.
It might be a small thing that I gave a speech..even I didn't consider it big...but look at the way parents see it. For him it was like "my son has grown up..he has achieved so much...etc." They are so selfless.....even I got a little senti on reading that mail. I mean I know how my parents have suffered because of that torturous period that I gave them...when I didn't study well despite all their attempts....a period when I didn't care at all about my future...I did not know then how much stressed my parents were because of me.
And now when I completed my Masters on merit...scored good marks...got a good job and am doing reasonably well...they are so happy..so proud...Parents are so selfless.... I don't claim at all taht I have achieved everything...that I am a big shot etc....but my parents are happy that I am settled and am happy and that's what matters at the end of the day...at least for me!

My parents are doing such great job...they are helping people...they are active in things they like...they are still more energetic than I can even dream of...they are more enthusiastic in learning new things than even people of my age....God bless them and give them a long and healthy life. And I pray god give us 2 brothers the wisdom to take care of them and keep them happy always.....

can't write more.......
