A person should know how to balance their happiness and sorrows as nothing is permanent. With time things changes and a person should be emotionally and mentally strong enough to go through both phases. In joy, a person should be able to handle happiness and in sorrow, he should try to handle himself.
Things might get worst but a person should learn how to overcome their problems. Reacting in each and every situation with a calm and cool temper helps things to fall into place. There are ups and downs in life and many times a person fail to solve it but in the end, a person does gain strength as his efforts are not always completely wasted and it will make him stronger than before.
And yes luck also plays its own part so one should always be capable enough to fight to win the battle.
About Suman Rustam
This story is about a person who has seen many difficulties and still fighting for survival in his fifties. But he has very strong willpower and after every fight, he comes back like a warrior. He is a simple man who loves his family very much.
He is married to a woman with whom he has a great bond and compatibility. He is so much busy in his own life and doesn’t like to have any conversation with others as he feels that the same person is going to speak behind our back someday. Rather he spends his entire time with his family and today due to his age he is not physically strong.
Where does he live?
He is living in a house which is in a poor condition with incomplete construction. But somehow he manages to have certain things in the house that was necessary for day-to-day use. He was living with his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
The kitchen area was also congested and everything was kept in an unorganized manner. But they all live happily as the house is filled with love and care and they have each other’s company. He has started to lose his capacity to perform his role smoothly. Moreover, he does a great job of being a father and taking care of two of his kids.
The Family
Family is a tree that looks beautiful when it grows and with love and time the bond increases. We all must live in the present as we don’t know what will be the future. Well, Sumanbhai had a story that is a bit different and even today some incidents, like in his life can bring tears to everyone’s eyes.
He had a total of 6 children out of which five of his kids died due to unknown health issues. He even tried to find it out but he was unable to know as he was not educated and could not afford to treat his children. The death of his daughter was very shocking as she just returned home after playing and died sitting ideal.
Today he has a son who looks after his own family and also takes care of Sumanbhai and his wife. His son is able to send his children to school and his wife is supporting him by looking after the house. Today his grandchildren make him laugh and feel blessed.
A day in his life
Due to his age, he doesn’t choose to do any kind of work and just keeps sitting the whole day watching people who pass by. Due to his old age, he doesn’t hold the capacity to think and do something out of the box. While in his early days he worked really hard day and night and took care of all his responsibilities.
But now he has created hurdles for himself, both mentally and physically. He is not sure if he could leave his house and develop an interest in the outside world. At this age, health is becoming his main concern and he prefers to rest and sit at home.
Likes and Dislikes
Sumanbhai prefers simple food that is cooked at home by his wife and daughter-in-law. He eats it with great joy. He also loves outside food but cannot afford it so doesn’t have it. At his in-laws, who reside in the village of Dharampur near Navsari, he has eaten a very known and delicious dish that originated in Maharashtra, Pav-bhaji.
He is very much fond of cricket and even used to play when he was young but after being paralyzed by hand, he had to cut down many of his desires. But at this age, he keeps watching cricket on television and also supports street cricket. His favourite season is monsoon and with his family, he often visits the nearby lakes and beaches during rainy days.
About his personality
With growing age, he is becoming weak and has been diagnosed with certain health issues. Even his way of talking justified the same. But at some point, his willpower is also diminishing as his paralyzed situation makes him feel that he is a burden to the family and not able to support the family. He must accept the fact and live with joy. His grandchildren are his heartbeats and also make him smile and keep him lively.
Message
His only message was that his paralyzed hand has made things worse for him. Life would have been better and he would be able to fulfil all his desire and might stay happy.
