Koun kahta hai

" The pupil, who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do."

This quote often reminds me of what my Sir always used to say.He often used to put me to all the possible struggles, and to a point that I used to get irrited and sometimes, used to doubt his intentions, whether he is taking revenge for a grudge(yes, I landed up in a trouble and messed up things, even up to the extent of going to complaint to VC on the very first day of joining M.Sc (Biotechnology), of course that was a big misunderstanding, thanks to our ragging.
He always use to brush off our protests against surprise quizzes and never ending list of assignments by saying
" Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go"Yet There was some special charisma he had, I used to be highly irregular in lectures(self study used to seem much more sensible than wasting 3 hours in journey everyday) but never missed his lectures, sometimes, I even tried to ape him in my presentation. Always I used to be in self doubt, some troubles with family and financial constaints, it was PC SIR , who made me know the importance of Struggle.Even now, my eyes get filled with tears when I remember how he distributed sweets, when he came to know about my percentile, or the day when he had asked us not to participate in Science day quiz as our department had the nasty reputation of getting lowest rank, how he left the quiz in between and the pride in his eyes when he knew it was me who won the prize.
Whenever today I am in self doubt whether I will be achieving my targets, I just repeat his lines , and again I am my confident self.
" Koun kahta hai ki aasman mein ched nahin ho sakta?
ek pathar to tabeeyat se uchalo yaaro!
