Today is the one of the happiest days of my life. I have learnt to read and write. Today was my graduation ceremony and my granddaughter gifted me the entire novel Kashi Yatre. I am just bubbling with joy. It is all owing to the teaching of my granddaughter. She has been a great teacher to me. She has taught me how to read and write. How independent I feel! Now I can read as many books as I wish. It is true education is power. Without it a man or woman is like a slave to circumstances. How foolish I was in ignoring my education. Undoubtedly, the circumstances were not in favour, yet I must have made all the efforts to educate myself. I pledge that I wll always encourage my grandchildren to educate themselves. I am proud of my granddaughter Sudha who in spite of so young is such a fine teacher!

Today I am very happy as my mission is almost over. About a year ago I set a deadline. I didn’t want to remain dependent and helpless anymore. So I decided to cast off the curse of illiteracy. I decided to learn the Kannada alphabet. No doubt, this task would not have seen the day without the active help of my granddaughter. She acted as my teacher and I worked hard and did an amazing homework under her guidance.
Today, my granddaughter has given me a copy of Triveni’s famous novel Kashi Yatre. Lord, how merciful you are ! Now I can read any novel with confidence on my own. don’t need my granddaughter to read Kashi Yatre anymore for me. I have attained self-respect and independence. It is true that if you are determined you can overcome all obstacles. And I have learnt another lesson. For learning, there is no age bar.
