I've remembered this clearly.. Years ago when i was in 6th grade I saw her for the first time. I was besieged by an acute illness hence moved to a hospital for some days. She was a paramedic at there. I was in hospital for around 15 to 16 days and in this long period whenever I was alone she was there to look after me. Her helping and caring nature touched me right in the feels. When I left the hospital, I thought I'd never meet her again but It wasn't the end. Not just me but my family was also got in touch with her. We then became family friends. Since then to today it has been 8 or 9 years, she is still our friend.
When you see her, she is like light and rainbow, a beautiful human being, Full of life kinda person.. You meet her and don't laugh, these two things can not be happen together. I'd only say Live like Mardaani, Live like her.. I may don't know her whole life story but what I know, inspires me a lot to live a life like the way she does. She is likely 50 years old but her heart is still young.
She born in Karnaal, Haryaana.. at an early stage of her life she lost her parents.. her younger brother was killed.. loosing parents in childhood, a thing you couldn't get over until you're as strong as she was. After them there was no one who would care for her except her elder brother. Her Tauji (her father's elder brother) looked after them. Her brother was sent to a hostel and her relatives were planning for her wedding in her age of studies. She wanted to study high. When she got to know about her wedding, She ran away from home. She had already applied for scholarships, somehow, got the scholarship, She then studied at a Govt. Hostels in Delhi and used to give tuition for her living. It was a hard time but the spirit of living and to do something, never stayed away from her.
In Delhi, She filled a form in nursing as she wanted to be like Mother Teresa, her role model. She did nursing then, on a scholarship. After completing the course she got a job. Everything was fine.. She had a life just like she wanted to have. But there was something happened that hard to get overcome.
Something happened that she never tells anyone. It looks like she doesn't want to tell or she's just trying to forget it. so I can not go into deep of her life, she doesn't want to share those things.
Becoming a mother is the greatest achievement for any woman. A precious thing she gives is 'birth'. and The most hard thing a woman can have is knowing, she cannot be a mother ever. Knowing you can't be a Mother before wedding can break any woman's heart. But Only a "mardaani" woman can make it easy going. It is not just about "mardaani" It is about a strong woman who wants to live her life no mater what. It is the spirit of living.
She hasn't gotten married yet and don't even want to. She says, for her purpose of marriage, she cannot ruin anyone's life.
She knows the true meaning of life. She knows how to live a life better. Every time she tells me how to live a life with full of joy even in the sorrows.
She lives alone, She earns for her, She spends for her, She is taking the full colors of life. If you haven't had anything, doesn't mean you can't have anything For a better life you need a better thinking.
That's how Saroj Bala is.
