Part B:
My Grandmother, IIM Raipur
It was a sunny day. Everyone around me was running here and there trying to escape the scorching sun. And I was there standing on the edge of a shop, still under sun requesting rickshaw driver to take me to the hospital. Rather I should say that I was begging them to take me to my grandmother. My grandmother was in hospital fighting with death. I somehow reached the hospital to see the most precious person and the only best friend my life. I didn’t want to lose her. My parents got shocked as soon as they saw me. They inquired about how I reached there. I just ignored them and asked them about the well-being of granny. They said that she will be fine soon. But I could smell something fishy. I could sense the fear in their eyes. I decided to stop the question-answer session. Just then Doctor came and informed that granny was in critical condition and chance of survival is almost zero. I felt like breaking down. After a heated fight with the boss, nineteen hours of train journey in general class, four hours of bus journey and finally almost two hours of auto journey this is what I got. It was both physical and mental pain. Suddenly doctor came up with a solution that required a surgery and the cost was around 12 lakhs. Then my father went somewhere to talk to someone and I thought of spending as much time as possible with granny only.I had no idea about how to arrange so much money. My mother was praying in front of the small temple (She is just like any other typical Indian women).
Suddenly the nurse asked me to wait outside. I was shocked and in rage I asked her as to why she was not letting me spend some time with granny. Probably granny was counting her last breadth. She was taken to the OT room the red light of OT was switched on. I was not able to process what was going on. Then my father informed me regarding the money arrangement. It was the actually the money he had invested in the form of insurance i.e. “Birla Sun Life Insurance Co Ltd.”. She was all fine after the operation. I thanked my god for blessing me with such an awesome father who was still the best son in this world. Thank you ABG for saving my best friend and again making me have a belief in my role model and the best son, my father, son of “My Grandmother”.
