When Hope Betrays U...

I knew her from my childhood. We have been together in thick and thin.
We faught with each other many times and still some bond keeps us
together. I know her as a girl who's very confident and bold. A girl
who's very sincere in whatever she does, who’s a very hard working
person. I saw her dreaming to be a cardiologist. Cardiologist was her
dream profession. She made herself so much dedicated to studies that
she forgot enjoyment in her life.

None of her family members liked her taking BiPC. Her parents being
very conservative wanted her to take MPC a course where we have umpteen
number of options for our career. They were reluctant to take risk in
case of a girl as it is not easy to get a seat in medicine. She has to
fight against them to take BiPC and choose cardiology as her profession.
She is very determined in such cases and I feel proud of her for this.




But was it worth fighting with family? Was it worth working hard for
three years? At the end of three years she did not get seat in medicine.
All her hopes were futile. All her dreams were bereft by the fate. Fate
played with her and she was the looser and victim of the time. We were all
shocked to know that she could not get thru and we were more worried
about her reaction. We thought no one could console her get her out of her
Depression.Theres nothing we can do if hope betrays you. Was it her fault to
dream of being a doctor? But none of us expected that she is that sportive.
To paraphrase her words, "It’s very painful to know that you have
put down the expectations of some one who has confidence in you rather than
putting down your own expectations. I expected to be a doctor and I could not,
but none of you liked me to be a doctor so I did not put down any of your
expectations. And in whatever you do it sincerely and to the best and leave
the rest to fate. Do it whole heartedly and when it doesn't come to you don’t
take it to heart
". I felt each of her words were very true. Yesterday is
like a dream, today is fate and tomorrow is hope.

And the girl whom I have been talking about is none other than my younger
sister. This is the bond that keeps us together.Am proud to say that she is my sister. A person is not called smart if he/ she is in great position and has achieved so much in life. What’s the use when u miss the basic thing "happiness" in our life. Smart are those who face all the odds in life and still be happy.

"It’s not your fault to dream when the hope betrays you .....
But dream always to be happy
