Part 1Chandra POV:
I am greatful...
Yes... i am grateful to Chanakya Sir...
Today i am receiving my graduation certificate is only because of him...
Not even just graduation... But Post graduation in London...
I looked at the certificate which was on my hand with almost moist eyes...
I wave bye to friends and rushed towards my room...
I kept the bag packed already to start from London...
Tonight is my flight and i need to reach airport...
I reached airport in few minutes drive and finished the check in formalities...
I sat on the chair and called Sir...
'Sir.. i reached the airport...' i said...
'Good... you collected the certificate Chandra...' he asked...
'Of course Sir.. yes i did...' i confirmed...
'Well.. Lets see once you reach home...' he concluded & disconnected the line...
I heard the annoucement for my flight and got up from the seat...
After few minutes of travel in the bus, i reached the flight...
I climb the stairs and reached the flight...
I checked my seat number and located it...
I kept my bag in its slot and sat in my seat...
I took a deep breathe and relaxed myself...
Regular announcements, instructions, precautions were all happening which is nothing but usual in the flight...
I fasten my seat belt and switch off the mobile and kept inside the pocket...
Flight took off from London airport towards India...
I lean on my seat and closed my eyes...
I was not getting sleep instead was feeling some strange feeling inside...
Of course... about my life...
Its some sort of happy feeling to even think from where i reached to which place in my life...
It was just an incident which changed my life...
Otherwise i might have been in orphanage till date...
yes.. i dont know where i was born & to whom...
But since the days in my memories i was in orphanage only...
They put us in a government school and i was going to school...
I was very much interested in studies...
I was topper in the class...
Still my studies after my 10th Standard is a question mark...
I cant ask orphanage management to let me study further...
They are running the institution in very less amount and so many children are there to take care of...
After 10th standard... i need to search for some job and take care of myself...
yes.. that is how it works in this orphanage and i cant blame them for that...
After 10th Standard & grown up... they believe we can fly with out wings letting their nest vacant for other small birds coming to their nest...
I passed my 10th standard with top marks...
My Orphanage manager called me & told me to take care of myself... of course with heavy hearts...
As it was expected... i didn't mind much or felt hurt...
I started from there with my 2 clothes & books packed in a bag...
I was walking on the road wondering what i can do further...
Of course, i can go for some job... as server or cleaner or office assistant like jobs which will be able to serve my hunger...
But what about my thirst and hunger in studies...
When i was walking, i saw an old man crossing the road talking over phone...
He didn't notice a truck coming towards him making horn...
I rushed towards him and its just fraction of second when i pulled him holding his hand from the road...
The truck crossed us while we fall on the road...
I got scratches on my hands & legs on falling in the road...
Infact that old man too got...
I slowly got up and helped that old man too to get up...
"Thank you my boy.. you saved my life...' he said...
'Its just my social responsibility sir to save when someone is about to get hurt in front of my eyes... i just did my duty...' i said...
With his expression i realised he was quiet impressed...
'Boy tell me about you...' he said...
'Nothing great to tell sir... i am orphan... Just finished my 10th standard & looking forward for a life...' i said...
'You talk matured for your age... i like it...' he said...
'Life taught me to behave matured Sir... i cant be childish...' i said...
He took me to his house...
In that big house.. sorry bungalow... he was residing alone...
I learnt that his name is Chanakya...
He is running his own biz...
I was there with him helping him for some days...
Then he found my interest in studies...
He took admission for my further studies...
I finished my higher secondary schooling and joined in the college...
After finishing my administration bachelor degree... i was sent to London for doing my MBA...
Now i finished my MBA and returning to India...
Chanakya Sir did so much to me...
Its time for him to pay back my debts...
Yes.. I will work for him and do my best for his biz...
With all the knowledge he gave me all these days, i will help him in his old age to establish his biz better...
I dont know who is the heir for his biz as he never told me anything about his family...
I am least bothered about it... Now whatever i am bothered is i should do my best to Chanakya Sir...
