“Once Chandrika went, there was no looking back. That was what the children wanted to do. I would console my mother by saying, ‘the candle has to melt to let the light shine. Think of me as the candle. Someone has to make a sacrifice if the children are to do well’.” Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified. — Samuel Johnson —
