"When I was 5, I lost my precious and loved one. My parents were numb. The thought that "Now I have no one to share my toys with" was making me go haywire. His face was constantly appearing in my dreams.
On the other hand, my schoolmates bullied me. I ran away from school because of the painful words like, "buffalo", "elephant" and "black pig". I kept all of it inside of me, until the day I learnt to deal with it. I worked hard on my body, my confidence and my self-esteem.
During Covid, my family and I tested positive and my grandpa passed away. My Dad was blamed for being irresponsible. The burden of those accusations led us into a pit of sadness. We cried ourselves to sleep so many times. But, as a family, we rose up. We learned from our experience and were ready to help each and everyone in that tough time, even now.
I started earning and supported my family financially, mentally and emotionally. Now, when my father's friends complain about their children not fulfilling their responsibility, he sits with a hint of pride and joy.
Our family has seen a lot and gone through all of it. But, we don't remember that anymore. What we remember is, we overcame it. As a family, as a unit, we are stronger than any problem or situation." - Komal.
