Tell us about a time when you overcame obstacles and got through a difficult experience or phase of life. What was the driving force? How did your life change as a result?
This story is about those days when I was posted in the Medical Health Department. As per our departmental rules, any officer could be posted in his home district for only 5 years during his lifetime service.
And at that time I was posted at a distance of about 600 km from my home district. only then I came to know that one post in my home district was going to be vacant soon.
So I applied to the department for my transfer to that vacant post. Coincidentally, my officers, in view of my good reputation, ordered me to post in my home district with the condition that I would join there only when that post became vacant.
I was very happy and was dreaming of living with my family, but the day I got relieved from my current posting and joined the new home town posting, the next day another officer also come and joined on the same post.
He brought a new order, and of that order, my earlier posting order was cancelled. This officer was close to a politically influential family, so he got such an order. I was feeling very much insulted by that orders.
So I consulted one of my lawyers, and he advised me that no government official can take advantage by using political influence, so you go to court against this new order.
I filed a petition in the court in my angry state, and the court is found to have political interference, temporarily stopped the implementation of the said order and also ordered to keep the status quo.
Now after receiving the order of this court, that officer and his political allies got very angry with me, and they suspended me from my post for one year by making false allegations against me. I was very disappointed and hurt by this suspension order, but now I had no other option. Because now I could not fight with officials and politicians together.

Being suspended, I had no work to pass the time, so in the meantime, I joined a club with the help of some of my old friends to pass my time. And this day, my downfall started.
there they all used to play many games and also used to impose big money bets on them, from mid-noon onwards to midnight Games used to start and there was openly drinking alcohol.
Slowly, I also started drinking alcohol with them and started putting bets on the games.
very soon I lost a lot of money in those bets and got addicted to alcohol, my life started getting very bad, and it started affecting my family too.
Then one day my wife cursed me a lot for not doing so and her cursing like this shook my conscience. , and I swore that day that I would never go to that club again.
Taking this oath, I stopped going to the club the very next day and spent the remainder of my suspension working at a friend's private nursing home.
And after the suspension was over, getting the new posting order, I went to the place of my new posting and started doing my duty.
In this way, through my wife's wisdom and my own self-motivated decision, I saved myself and my family from going into poverty.
