She had it twice - 1

Tweet

Two times my sister went through a situation more or less similar.... First time: (I wrote about it years ago) In those days I was in hostel, preparing for our placement rounds. It being around new year I was almost alone. Barring a few of us final year students, others had gone home to enjoy vacations. And me being me, I was regularly skipping meals. (In my defense, you should have tasted the canteen food!) Even canteen was less operational due to down business time. My sister was in the same city, pursuing her own course. And then she decided to visit me. To check if I am eating properly. To this date, I have not found how to tackle this family inspection. And so she came. I was able to convince her all was honky dory what with my fluffy face (courtesy some special junk food). And then it was time to drop her off. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any auto and we had to walk a mile to the bus stand. Can't express how guilty I was feeling, kind of worthless host. Near the bus stand she decided to make me have lunch right in front in front of her. We went to a restaurant, and had our meal. That's when I felt it. While walking, we had been in bright sun and here in restaurant it was kind of cold. My system was down due to previous fasting days and found it hard to cope with the temperature change. I felt kind of dizzy. Out we came and she saw some interesting ornaments. Decided to check it out. I was standing politely beside her while the sun shone over our heads. And then, very rapidly my lights started getting out. I mumbled something to vendor, something like "I need a support..." or whatever. Don't exactly remember. My sentence finished or unfinished, I collapsed. Next thing I knew there was a crowd around me and someone was sprinkling water on my face. Soon my hearing restored and then the vision came back. Saw the face of my sister.... Till this date I feel ashamed for causing his to her. It was supposed to be my place. She knew no one there. And then this... So this was the first incident. What happened later is not of much importance. What is important is what she went through.
