Part B
On 23rd December 2017, my mother had an accident and broke her hip joint ball. My father was out of town at that time. So, I informed him about mom’s accident and asked him to come back. And on the same day in the evening, when he was returning, he had heart-attack on the train. Some co-passengers called me and informed me about that. For a while I got speechless and mind went blank. Not sure what to do. And that was the first time in my life I had to take every decision alone and which would affect my parents’ lives. I asked those co-passengers to book an ambulance and admit my father at Peerless hospital. They were helpful. They did that. I also reach the hospital from my home. I talked to doctors. They said it was a mild heart attack and asked me to keep him for 2-3 days in the hospital for further observation. Next day I took my mother to R.N. Tagor hospital for hip surgery.
For next 3 days, I had to visit both hospitals, had to talk to doctors, did all medical paper works and insurance paper works that required in hospitals. In that short span of 3 days, I learned a lot about responsibilities and adulthood.
Those days were the most difficult days in my life and everything was against me. In difficult times your parents become your support but for me, they were hospitalized and I can’t consult with them because if I do that they will worry more. They had enough in their plate too.
With all these in my mind I had responsibilities towards my team also. I was leading a team at that time and it was yearend. I had deliveries for my client which could not be delayed. After coming back at night I had to take long meetings with clients and stakeholders.
With all these challenges I had, with the grace of God and my team members, everything went fine. My parents came back home from the hospital and our team could deliver the project on time.
Above one is one of many challenges I have faced in my life but no doubt it was the biggest challenge of my life.
