Let us learn to call a spade a spade and a knife a knife. When I studied in a
convent school the nuns would not tolerate cheating, telling lies. We were so
honest that if we found a small pencil we would run to the headmistress and
hand it over to her .The nuns taught me many things. One to be brave and hold
your face to the tempest and not to worry too much of the past to spoil your
beautiful future. They taught us that honesty is the best policy and when you
speak the truth you have no worry to invent stories. The nuns taught me to be
satisfied with the annas that I have and not to worry about the rupee that is
in the neighbour's pocket. I spend only five years in one convent and that was
enough to make me a good citizen. We shifted to Bombay and again my mom put us
in a convent where the nuns taught us to have morality, not to be vulgar in
life and live a simple life. We were taught to be satisfied with the small mat
given to us to sleep. Not to indulge in luxuries. These years with the nuns
made me a good citizen , a good mother, a good wife and a good neighbour. I owe
my life to my nuns, my teachers , my parents, what better gift can I have from
all these people and of course from my Almighty God ?
