Saraswati puja is next week .I have been a fan of the Goddess Laxmi -Saraswati sisters for as long as I could remember.
When I was growing up,my family had plenty of financial troubles.
Luckily my maternal uncles were angels.
They ensured me and my sister had no troubles when it came to studies and buying books.
When I look back I realize the dots always connect. If you want to learn something, do something, the Universe helps you ,guides your way.
Even when the odds look impossible, miracles happen.
My love for reading,of learning new skills ,of trying to make that a way of getting some extra cash dates back to the year 2000.
I had cleared the state medical entrance and joined Calcutta Medical College.
This was a dream come true.
The best part my results ,it made me a good candidate for giving tuitions at home.
My sister was a doll.She publicised my academic results among her friends and herself did so well ,that most of my students were actually her friends.
I am thankful to all the people who helped support me during the time I needed it most.
My friend Rukmini asked her Mom to let me tutor her little sister .Those little acts of kindness let me earn nicely to support the little pocket money I received.
My mom had good financial sense and helped open up my Public provident fund account and savings account? very early to help me keep my earnings.
I am going back in time to remember all the good people who helped me learn.Learn to be a doctor .Learn to help .
Learn to be a good person.
Working on learning and working on being good is a lifelong journey.
But very few people even start.That way my love of learning put me on the path to the best thing in life.
That’s learning new things.
