The Silent Strength: A Story of Our Watchman Grandfather

A Life Shattered by Loss

In our hostel, we have a remarkable soul, our watchman, whom we all lovingly call Thatha. His journey is one of resilience and endurance. A hardworking man, he lost his wife to cancer, and with her passing, it felt like he lost a part of himself — as if one eye and one hand were gone.


Abandoned by Family

Despite having two children, both married, they turned away from him in his greatest time of need. When his wife passed, he was left alone, with no one to lean on. His own blood had distanced themselves, leaving him to face life’s hardest moments by himself.


The Struggles of Survival

With no food, no job, and no support, life hit him harder than ever before. It was a time of complete despair, where everything seemed to fall apart. But in the midst of this darkness, he didn’t give up.


A Humble Job, A Great Achievement

He found his way back to stability, taking a job as a watchman for ?10,000 a month. While becoming a watchman might not seem like an achievement to some, his ability to stand strong amidst life’s toughest challenges is an inspirationA Humble Job, A Great Achievement.


The Strength to Endure

Struggles come in different forms for each of us. His courage to rise after every fall is his true accomplishment. In the face of unimaginable loss and loneliness, he continues to stay strong—a quiet yet powerful achievement.


The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we never see.
