I was a good child of my parents . I was often teased by my elder brother and sister that I've been adopted . Which used to really affect me , I actually started believing it. I loved my parents and they loved me, they still do . We have a sweet family. My father always wakes up sharp at 4am and he goes for a walk. He is is very agile unlike me and my elder siblings. This is about that time when I was just a toddler , almost 9 years old. I used to study at "Little Bell's School".
It was the day of my examination. We had two exams in a day, one before lunch and one after the lunch. My first exam went well and it was the time of the lunchbreak, and I was very hungry, and the tragedy occurred then. My mom didn't arrive with my lunch and I was scared. The time was passing by, the lunch break was almost over, I was gazing at the corridors , but my mom didn't arrive. I went to the examination hall, with a awful face and an empty stomach. My teacher distributed the papers , he came near me and asked "what happened Sheetal? I replied with an almost crying face "I didn't eat my lunch and I am hungry . Unfortunately my teacher couldn't help me with food during exam. The way I gave the exam was very miserable since I couldn't bear with my hunger.
I completed my paper, went back home and cried and complained "Mumma why didn't you bring my lunch?". She was very sorry and she explained that she got so busy with a meeting in the bank that she got delayed . By the time she reached home and started preparing my lunch ,it was quite late. But still she rushed to the school and an aunt explained her that the school gates had been closed . The lunch break was over . But in reality I still waited for my mom, hoping that she'd get me a warm lunch to satiate my hunger . She didn't come . I cannot forget this day since I wrote my exam with an empty stomach.
