SSC CGL DEST Previous Year – The Saddest Day of My Life

Days are not of equal value in one's life. Some bring happiness while others bring sadness. Sadness and happiness both are equally important to man's life, since they are the two sides of a coin. As we cannot forget the happiest day, we are unable to forget the saddest day of our life too. The saddest day of my life was the Diwali Day. Diwali is considered to be a happy festival and till last Diwali, it was my favourite festival. On last Diwali, my sister, my brother and I were busy lighting the fireworks. I was holding a fuljhari in my hand and unfortunately my younger brother, who was standing just beside me, had a cracker in his hand. The cracker burst unexpectedly and my brother's hand was badly burnt. He started crying loudly. Hearing his cry, my father came out of the house and immediately took him to the doctor. The doctor dressed his wound and gave him some medicines. He was in severe pain. The joy of Diwali vanished and the whole family was in grief. Fortunately the damage was not very serious and within a few days his burns healed. But the memory of that terrible day still haunts me. I feel that we should celebrate Diwali by lighting diyas and candles instead of bursting firecrackers. Such celebrations are not only eco-friendly, but also eliminate the risk of fire accidents.
