She was looking outside the window and gazing something. She was an old woman in her seventies. Her face was pale yellow. She was looking, as she was in great grief. Her eyes were cold without any expression. It looked that she had lost all the hopes from her life. At present, she was at her younger sister’s house. Her sister which was in early seventies, was a more vibrant and energetic woman. Both sisters have lost their husbands. I wondered why there was such a difference in appearance of these two sisters. What has happened in last fifty years which have changed their outlook towards life? The answers can be found in their lives. The sister which was sad has started her life with lot of happiness and richness. She was got married to a very rich and smart man. However, her luck has not favored her; she lost her all wealth with the passage of her life. Her husband became a drunkard and sold everything they own. Her children are no more interested in taking her responsibilities. After starting a good life, she was moving towards an end which was depended on others. She was not able to see any light in this darkness. On the other hand, her sister has everything, reverse of it. She was married to an ordinary looking clerk with few rupees monthly income. However, after ten years of marriage her fate changed when her husband started a small business and got success in it. Her children succeeded to the higher posts of society. She was now named among the highly successful old woman in her locality. She always felt proud for being able to live this life.
