After a long span of our endurance (Labour pain?) and tremendous efforts to put pressure on College Management to provide the outcome of our academic efforts, the grade sheets of MA MCJ II semester has come to our hands. To go quite nostalgic,I had expected at least A grade in six out of seven subjects in the I semester. I had worked very hard in the class and even performed really nice in the examinations.

     Last week my eyes fell upon a life story full of repentance and confession of guilt in a magazine under "Jeevanko Goretoma" column and stuck for some time . It really touched my heart as his very guilt had crushed my friend Shyam's life and happiness to pieces in fact.      To relate , Shyam fell in love with a tenth grader neighboring girl 11 years back whom he proposed , she reciprocated and both eloped .

His parents also treated her daughterly and poured all their love over her . For almost five years time flowed swiftly showering all conjugal bliss to their laps .
