Father's Letter ✉
One day someone knocked the door of the hostel's room. Pankaj
opens the door as he saw the hostel's warden with a tiffin in his hand. Pankaj
asked curiously, "Are you supplying dinner in everyone's room tonight,
aren't we all have to come tonight in the mess?" "No, everything is
alright, this tiffin is given to me by your room partner and this letter
also", the warden replied and said "your roommate will come later
tonight, he sent me to inform you that and to give this tiffin and
letter". "Okay!" Pankaj replied.
Pankaj put the tiffin and the letter on the table and called his
roommate thinking it is looking really weird to him why he had sent a letter
when he can call him directly, that's pretty strange. But his roommate didn't
respond, so he thought of reading the letter.

| Letter of Your Dreams-By Your Father |
He takes the letter from the table and started reading, it
was by his father.
"Hey son,
I know you're
thinking about why I'm sending this letter. But first of all, listen, there is your
favourite dish in tiffin, Rajma-chawal , prepared by your mumma, even she
hadn't given me to taste this cause she said, it is specially prepared for you
so not everyone can eat this.
Pankaj smiled a little bit after reading this. He continued
reading the letter.
Now listen, I know you failed in your last exam whose result
came last week. I know you are pretty depressed from the past week. I know a lot
of things going through your mind that what will happen now, what will you do
now, how'll you tell us about your result? I know you are suffering with all
the tensions. I know you punched the wall so badly that you got a minor
fracture when you saw your result.
Just relax,
we're not going to judge you for anything. We're not going to blame you for
your failure. Actually the fault is mine, I forced you to do this course, even
when I knew that you are not interested in that. I knew you always wanted to
follow your dream. I forced you not to follow your dream and put you in this
stupid course for your better future. I know how it feels when you can't follow
your dream, because I had gone through it, in my childhood even my father
forced me to study hard for a course because someone suggested it to him. It
really hurts when you can't chase your dream. It kills your soul, it stab your
heart every single second when you know you are not chasing your dream for
other's happiness. I'm sorry my son for doing this to you, from now you are
just going to follow your dream, if you need any kind of help from your family,
we will always stand by your side. No matter what happens next, we are here for
you my son. From now you and I will work hard to fulfil your dream, and yes
I'll handle your mom and our relatives too. (Pankaj smiled after reading this
sentence).
No matter what will happen in future, just don't get upset, you
fail or pass, it is just a phase of life, assume your life as a journey, and
learn from it. Failure means you're trying.
Just forget about everything and follow your dream no matter
what will happen."
In the last sentence his father wrote
"your roommate
told us about how you are suffering alone from all your tensions not talking to
anyone, suffering alone is not a good thing my son, from now on you'll share
everything with me, and I'll not judge you on anything."
Tears rolled out from his eyes after reading the letter, and
someone knocked at the door again. He wiped his tears and it was his whole
family on the door his father, mother and younger sister. He hugged his father
and cried out loud. Everyone was in tears at that time and his father said
"let's go inside I'm feeling really hungry now, Rajma-chawal's smell is
increasing my appetite now". Everyone smiled while they were in
tears.
