Life is an Examination   Saran Rai Every moment of life, Every second of time, Is a moment of examination. Progress, decline, ascent, descent, Uphill, downhill, light, and darkness, Love, hatred, victory, and defeat— Moments of struggle and battle. What, who, and why are important?

The difference between a leader and a poor person is that 'leaders don't remain poor, and because of leaders, the poor don't become rich.'

Whenever there was an opportunity to attend a wedding feast, she never agreed to go. After missing several weddings, I wondered, "Why doesn’t she want to go?" With the meager salary of a teacher, I had to pawn her jewelry to manage monthly expenses. Some pieces were lost forever because we couldn't repay the loan with interest. She didn’t have jewelry to wear at weddings. Women adorned themselves with jewelry and came gleaming in gold. She feared being embarrassed among friends. So, she wouldn’t attend. Yet, not once did she complain, “You never bought me jewelry.” During Grandfather’s eighty-fourth birthday, my father had asked us to come to the Terai with a camera. Back then, we didn’t have digital cameras like...
