much. It opened my eyes that I should not linger in temporary charms and
attractions. As my parents have invested a lot of money and labour upon me, I
should pay their debt doing something remarkable. For this aim I shouldn’t stop
in any delight and charm. I realized that before I die I should do something
good for society and the nation.
