I was 8, my parents were farmers in a village some distance away from Kaithal, Haryana.
Sixteen years ago today, he was brutally attacked on his way home from the market. The details are still painful to recall, but the attackers were people with old grievances against him. Despite the local authorities' efforts, the case went cold, and justice was never served.
Our family was torn apart, and we had to leave our village and start anew. In the midst of this chaos, my maternal uncle (Mama) stepped in to support us. He was a pillar of strength for my mom and me. He not only helped us financially but also ensured that I received an education.
After 16 years, I have become Financially Independent this year. Happy that I have made it to a big MNC like Deloitte and sent back money to support my mom.
Going to go only upwards from here!
