My grandma had a positive impact on me. Her memory, her speech, and her behavior all had a unique charm. It was my grandmother who introduced me to language. She always used to say that Reading is a hobby that, when pursued, doesn’t cause any trouble to anyone and continuously enriches your knowledge.
She used to recite Gnaneshwari and Gita. She used explain philosophy behind these great books. She was an excellent story teller, she told us thousands of stories of Krishna, and Ram. She believed strongly in Karma Yoga, and lived her life on those principles.
She was a person ahead of her times. She took part in social activities and helped poor and physically challenged people voluntarily. She used to visit various schools and delivered lectures about our rich culture. I saw what patriotism is and what a common can give to his nation. I remember her talking about Swami Vivekanand, Ramakrishna Paramhans, our Hindu dharma and our principles.
She taught everyone around her to be humble. She advised that while dealing with any situation or problem, always consider what society has given to you. Moreover, try to find something good in everything that you do. To prove this, she wrote one page everyday at the age or 75, about ‘what made me happy today?’ Her life was an ultimate example of Simple living and high thinking. She will remain guiding light for me.
