It was my last paper and I jump from question to question
without much thought coz I have to finish it before 12:00 beside my friends are
waiting for me. After reaching Bodhgaya, (18:30) I rush toward the temple in search
of the best place so, that everyone will keep their eyes on me. At last I
decided to unfold my t-shirt near the busy footpath just near the main temple.
That very night I put everything in their exact place for
tomorrow and keep thinking about the heading day. I been guessing the whole night
about the t-shirt, how they (people) will response to my first ever charity
work. I was afraid that if I was unable to sell the t-shirt then how I can
return the capital and beside my whole effort will be worthless. I was unable
to sleep soundly at that night coz I cannot stopped myself from thinking more
about it.
The next day, I wake up early then ever I wake up in this
whole year even it is so cold outside. I pray for the good response from the
people. After having a hot ginger tea I walk ahead to the busy footpath. My
heart beat quietly and I keep dreaming and dreaming …..
When I reached the busy footpath, my poor heart started to
beat like a machine gun. I encourage myself "I can do it, I can do
it" even I was unable to unfold my bag. So I been wondering if someone
unfold their things then I will do it surely. After waiting almost half of an
hour, I saw someone unfolding there bag and scattering their thing. I try to
unfold my bag but I was failed to carry on.
So, I just wait there
with my bag full of t-shirt. After an hour, my friend suggested me to request
to the kalguy organization for the place in their donation tent. I was delight
to hear the suggestion, we rushed there and we request the chairman and luckily
we get a positive answer.

After that day onward, I unfold my t-shirt there with other
charity organization. Thanks god! I get very good response from the people,
especially for the Varanasi students and foreigner who truly support and encourage
me do more work ahead.
It was really hard in the first place but thing went smooth
with each passing day. Within those days of selling t-shirt, I learn a lot. We have
to encourage our-self. You might get really bad result in the very first place
but don’t give up! Keep moving ahead without disappointment. It more important
to continue what we are doing and the result will always great at the end.
I have always depended on the kindness of
strangers
