Akram Youth Fear | June 2016 | Akram Youth | Page 7

As I was leaving home for my class, my aunt asked me, “As you are going out, can you take this bag of grains for grinding?” I said I would. I wore my backpack on my shoulders, and held the bag on the top of my head. When I was walking through the lane in my neighborhood, an aunty passed a comment, “Is this the new fashion?” I retaliated with anger, “What is your problem? I will do whatever I feel like, why have you to say anything?” Because I was already angry, I shouted at the students in the class. My mind kept going back to thinking about what I would do or say to that aunty, and that I would go to her house and tell her off! I was burning with anger, thinking of how she could insult me like that! Then, I read the issue of Akram Youth on anger (krodh). I Learned that, “To digest insult, shows that one is more powerful”…. And so I did Pratikraman for the way I behaved with the aunty. Also, for a beautiful “Akram Youth” magazine, you have my heartfelt thanks. -Krishna Jetani, Bhavnagar.
