Essay On THE SADDEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Introduction

Life is a mixture of laughter and tears, joys and sorrows. There are events of both light (happiness) and shadow (sorrow) in life.

My saddest day

The 22nd June, 2001 was the saddest day in my life. On this day a number of sad events took place. I can never forget this day. It is the blackest spot in my memory?

What happened on the saddest day

I had taken the Inter Examination. Some of the papers were quite stiff. I had not fared well in Mathematics. I have never been good at Mathematics. I was waiting for the result with fear. On this day the saddest one in my life-my result was to be declared. I looked at the result. My fears only turned out to be too true. My roll number was missing in the list of successful students.

My old father was then ill. He had been suffering from high blood pressure. The news of my failure shocked him. He was almost speechless with sorrow.

I thought of my poor old man. He expected much of me. I was once the brightest boy in the school. All my teachers spoke highly of me. But Mathematics had let me own.

Another misfortune

It appears as if circumstances con spired together to undo me. Fate had turned against me. There was still another shock in store for me and the whole family. My elder brother was employed in Civil Supplies. He was the head cler!: in the office. He had been suspended on the alleged charge of corruption. It was alleged that he had taken bribes from the people. He was not on good terms with the boss. He made out a false case against him. On his report he was suspended.

An inquiry of the police into the alleged charges against my brother was held. We were sure that my brothers innocence would be proved. There was not much evidence against him. But the police collected a mass of lies against my brother. All false evidence was cleverly put up before the magistrate. We thought that the learned magistrate would see through the game and know the truth. But no, even the magistrate was befooled by the crooked evidence of the police.

It was on this day at about 8 p.m. that we received a telegram. When I opened the envelope, my ailing father impatiently enquired of the contents. With tears in my eyes, I told my father that it was the dismissal order of my brother. My father was wild with grief. My brother was the only bread-earner in the family. We all depended on his earnings for our very life.

The shock was too severe for my old sick father to bear. He died under it. The whole family wailed. My two younger brothers and a sister were beside themselves with grief. They wept bitterly. The people of the village came to sympathise with us in our tragedy.

This indeed was the saddest day in my life.
