WHEN I STOOD UP ALONE
I vitesh verma going to share my experience with
you when i stood up alone for the woman who met
with an accident in ropar in the month of
september 2008.It was a sunny afternoon, I was
attending my NCC camp at Govt. college, boys
hostel ,Ropar.ON that day myself and my two other
friends bunked the camp, and were roaming in the
market. we saw people had gathered around the
side of the road, and when we went that site we
came to know that a woman had met with an
accident,and she was seriously injured. no one
was daring to help her and drop her to the
hospital, then i decided that i would help her to
drop her to the hospital,but my friends insisted
that we should get back to the camp,as we didnt
knew anything about the ropar as we belonged to
patiala . As nobody was helping her, i decided to
help her , but my friends denied to help her,but
i convinced one of my friend and then i took her
to emergency of eye hospital because i didnt knew
anything about ropar and not even any hospital
and i found emergency of this hospital only, and
there they gave her primary treatment and later
they send her to the main hospital and i think
she got a proper treatment. on that day i
realised that if you are saving someones life
then you should carry on and dont bother about
others.......

WHEN I STOOD UP ALONE
Humanity is the greatest virtue and worship of
God. Abou Ben Adhem asked the Angel , who was
writing the names of the people who loved God in
her Golden Book. Abou told her that he only loved
humanity and believe to serve human beings . The
Angel disappeared and come to his dream the next
night. To his great astonishment Abou find his
topped the list of the people whome God loved.
the poet ' Leigh Hunt' has given the message of
humanity to the masses.
It so happened on first of August , when I stood
up alone to take a bold decision to save one
precious life , the creation of GOD ALMIGHTY . It
was Solar Eclipse and I happened to visit
Rajindera Hospital along with my friend . I came
across a poor middle aged man , suffering from
Skin Cancer. He had a bump of tumor at his back
which was bleeding . Perhaps he lost all the
hopes survival. He needed blood transfusion to
which I volunteered myself. The Doctor attending
told me that in any case his life span is very
short . But this didn't detor my decision. My
family members when contacted refuted my decision
on the pretext that it was a Solar Eclipse and
donating blood would bring some vow.But my
conscious didn't allow me to move and shatter the
hopes of life ,he had in his eyes. Not only
myself I encouraged my friend to donate blood for
good cause and he did. The patients condition
beccame stable and he thanked us with moist eyes.
I regularly visited the patient. and perhaps my
gesture prolonged his his life for another five
months. Alas! He should have lived more. I am
thankful to God to have given me an oppurtunity
to serve mankind and humanity .

My own experiments with the Truth.
‘When in doubt, tell the truth’., these
lines by the famous English author, Mark Twain,
have a special significance in my life, as they
helped me a lot while I was facing a very tough
dilemma in my life.
It was the year 2003, and I was in class 10th,
was the captain of the school football team, and
our school was hosting the revered Inter-School
Football tournament.
It was the final match of the tournament, and
both the teams (that is our team and the reigning
champions) were trying our level best to win that
coveted gold., the first prize. And as clichéd
it may sound, both were equal in skill, teamwork
and perseverance and as a result of that, the
match ended in a tie (2-2) after full time.But
the story did not end there.
Since this was the final, and it ended in a draw,
we were given the extra time period, and as by
the rules, the team which wins during that period
is declared the winner.
So, the extra time started and both the teams,
after ninety minutes of continuous battle were
ready to fight some more.
During the extra time, the story remained the
same, both teams played their best and the score
still remained as a draw .
Now, just three minutes before the end of the
extra time period that we got a golden
opportunity. We got a corner kick, and as per our
plan we sent our corner kick specialist to do the
honours whereas I who was good in heading the
ball was at my usual position near the goal-post.
So, with the tough smack, our player hit the
ball, and it was curling perfectly towards me,
the ball was heading straight towards me, as if a
god-sent present
and I, in those milli-seconds of time was eagerly
awaiting for it and to put it in the back of the
net.
So, as planned I headed the ball and it went
straight into the goal.
Hurray !!! all my team members burst into
happiness and cheer and all the festivities., but
all of those were shortlived in my mind, as I had
realised that the ball had taken a deflection
from my hand on its way to the goal-post, hence
it was a hand-ball, therefore not a goal !
There, in that moment, I was confused, as what
should I do ?
Whether to keep quiet and not to tell anyone and
enjoy the festivities with my team-mates on
becoming the champions (as I believe that all of
it had happened so fast, that nobody took notice
of it) or,
To confess to the referee that it was a hand-ball
and was not a goal., and hence spoil my team`s
celebrations?
I seriously had no answer to this, therefore in
those few seconds I asked the almighty for his
help, for his guidance, to guide me as to what
should I do.
And I guess he did respond to my prayers.
Suddenly I felt a deep urge for the telling the
truth. But before I did that, I had a look at my
team members, my coach, and all my other
school-mates who were sitting in the audience,
and I felt that even we win this match, then it
would be a hollow victory for me, and my
conscious would not forgive me for lying to all
of them, and win this match by cheating.
Therefore, i took a deep breath and started
walking towards the match referee and told him
the whole thing . The referee then declared the
goal as not valid and the scores stood as 2-2
still.
As all of this came to light, the cheers and joys
of my team members came to a shattering halt and
all of them became quite crossed with me, I could
even see my coach staring at me with those
glaring eyes, filled with anger and frustration.
And as ironic it may sound, just in the next
minute, the other team scored the goal and the
score became 3-2, and further, a minute after
that the extra time period finished and we lost
the game .
I got a lot of berates and even abuses from my
team mates and a lot of rebuke from my coach
even, but I really did not bother much about
that, as i was happy that I did not win by
cheating, but lost by playing honestly, and to me
that was the most satisfying feeling at that
point of time.
Therefore, I would like to conclude by saying,
that sometimes in life winning isn’t
everything, and if u want to win, then one should
with honesty and sincerity, as any victory
achieved by false means as good as an
embarrassing defeat.

My experiment with truth, when I stood up alone
1. I belong to Bihar. In our culture huge amount
of dowry is involved in marriages which come out
to be around 15 to 20 lack Rs per marriage. My
brother got married last year to a girl of his
own choice. She's a south Indian. At the time of
the marriage similar issues relating the dowry
aroused in my family. My sister-in-law's family
was totally opposed to the dowry transaction. My
parents, in spite of being opposed to the idea of
taking the dowry were pushed down by the
relatives and my grandparents. All of them, time
and again pressurized my parents to demand for
the dowry or to cancel the marriage otherwise.
Here, me and my brother were totally opposed to
the of dowry. I am a dominant member in my
family. When I supported my brother, everyone
including my parents scolded me. They even tried
to get my brother and sister-in-law apart from
one another and break the relationship. At that
time, I took the initiative to talk to all my
elders sitting one to one and convinced everyone
for the marriage and made them realize their
mistake of breaking the marriage just because of
the non-payment of the dowry. Now everything is
going well.
2. I am a media student. The previous year we
were supposed to take an internship from any of
the media work places (TV, radio, newspaper). At
that time majority of my classmates came up with
fake certificates. They suggested me also to do
the same. But I went for the interview in the
radio stations of the city. Got selected and
received my original certificate.
