The Happiest Day of My Life

Essay # 1

All the members of our family were overjoyed when my brother was married last year. The bride was welcomed with open arms.

All went well for a month or so. But then we felt that my sister-in-law was not happy. She tried to pick a quarrel with my mother at the slightest pretext. Strangely enough, my brother took his wife’s side.

My father tried to play the peace-maker but in vain. The new couple seemed to be bent on setting up a separate home. So they parted company with us. My parents felt very miserable. So did I.

After a month, my sister-in-law got a teacher’s job in my school. I wished her when I saw her first but she turned her face away. I felt not only pained but also insulted. I did not wish her again.

Two more months passed. The rift between the two families was complete. We did not visit each other. There was no hope of a reunion.

But one day a wonderful thing happened. I could not believe my eyes when I saw my brother and sister-in-law enter our house. Both fell at my parents’ feet. With tears in their eyes, they begged to be excused. After this, they embraced me. They expressed their desire to live with us again.

We had no objection. Rather, we had prayed for this change in their hearts. So from that day all of us began to live together. That was the happiest day of my life.

The Happiest Day of My Life

Essay # 2

When I think of my life there had been many happy days, like my birthday, meeting with the President of India, festivals, and celebrations.

But the happiest day of my life had been the day when I gave a music performance for the first time on the stage. The date was 3rd March 2007.

The Mother International School organized an Inter-school Classical Music Competition. Many students from different schools in Delhi participated in this. Some students rendered vocal songs, while some budding artists played tabla, harmonium, and Tanpura.

The little artists enthralled the audience with guitar, veena, and sitar. Now, it was my turn. It was my first performance on the stage. I felt very nervous and prayed the god to save my honour.

However, after I started singing I forget everything. I was totally engrossed in rendering Rag Vihar. I even forget if any audience was listening to me till there was loud clapping in the auditorium.

I was thrilled with joy when my name was announced for the first prize. I was given a gold medal by the Chief Guest. I felt very proud and happy. This was the happiest day of my life.
