There is this incident in my life, which give me an incomparable delight whenever recalled!
The first was in 2013. I cleared my class 10 board exams from ICSE board with 96% and was the third rank holder of my district, Ghaziabad. I was to be awarded by the District Magistrate on the same day as a family function in my village. I was in my village to attend the same. Amongst all the hype, my mind was busy finding someone to take me to the award ceremony. It takes three hours by road from there to Ghaziabad. I told my father to send me back with a cousin but he tried to convince me that we could collect it some other day from the concerned office. I was in tears. My grandmother, who was not much fond of me and my sister, scolded my father and favoured me for the first time in my life. She was proud of the fact that she was the grandmother of a rank holder of the District. After 15 years of my birth, that was the first time I felt that she loved me. That day, only because of her, my brother-in-law drove all the way back to Ghaziabad, I received the prize and then went back to the function. I handed my trophy to her and she hugged me tight, with tears of happiness in her eyes
