I don’t remember what day it was.What I remember it was end of spring semester 2017.My lab senior Adnan bhai or Dr. Adnan bhai asked me to bring two cups of tea from the DVM canteen.It was time between 9 to 10 AM.
I hold each cup of hot tea in each hand. I was walking slowly towards lab holding both cupc in my hands.Lab was on 1st floor.As I was in middle of stairs I heard her sound and than a glimpse on her face.Her voice was vibrating. She was crying. She was trying not to burst in tears.
Looks like something bad happened to her. At once it came to my mind that something very bad happened to her or someone close to her.She was with another girl.As I moved to uper stairs they looked towards me. Her friend tried to calm her down.What I remember she said don’t every thing will be ok.
It wasn’t clear to me till what was the reason that made this girl a broken down girl.I tried not to make them uncomfortable by starring so I kept my eyes towards stairs and the cups of tea I was holding.However in a glimpse of her face I have seen her tears pouring out of her eyes.She spoke replying to her friend.”Itna bhi kia hota hy… Her subject ma C C C…”

She said these with vibrating sound as some old women was speaking his last words in pain.She again starting cry moving back towards wall. He The wall and her friend was the supports that were preventing her from falling on the ground.
Being a stranger to them I wasn’t able to ask anything to from her or to say anything to make them calm.I moved towrdsa lab. After a while I looked in walk way they weren’t there.From that day I’m thinking about the conditions that made her cry. She could be a girl from a village with litlle support from her community for her education.
Or might be a girl of city that want to achieve high marks so she might get a good job.Apart from all these speculations what I observed from that incident that we are still taught to fear from our failure.We shouldn’t afraid of failure as failing in something doesn’t mean we are not eligible. Instead it means right now we can not do that but we can do this in future.

Also I felt that our education system is failing as we are learning to get good grades not to face difficulties in life or to accept the realities of life.
