“Life Should Be Greater Rather Than Long”

Dr� Ambedkar� fought� to� eradicate� social� evils� like�untouchability� and� for� the� rights� of� the� Dalits� and�other�socially�backward�classes�throughout�his�life.�Dr�Ambedkar�was�appointed�as�India's�first�Law�Minister�in� the� Cabinet� of� Jawaharlal � Nehru.� He� was�posthumously� awarded� the� Bharat� Ratna,� India's�highest�civilian�honour�in�1990.

Dr�Ambedkar�suffered�a�lot�in�his�life,�but�he�never�let�his�education�get�affected.�He�studied�every�day�for�14�to�18�hours.�It�was�Shahu�Maharaj�Ji,�from�Baroda,�who�sent�him�to�England�to�pursue�higher�education.

Babasaheb� was� very� fond� of� reading� books.� It� is�thought� that� his� personal� library� was� the� largest�personal�library�in�the�world,�with�more�than�50,000�books.

While�in�London,�he�went�to�a�library�every�day�and�studied�for�hours.�Once�he�ate�a�piece�of�bread�while�sitting� alone� in� the� library� at� lunchtime.� A� Jew�librarian�saw�him�and�scolded�him,�instead�of�going�to�the�cafeteria,�he�ate�food�hiding�there.�

The�librarian�threatened�to�fine�him�and�terminate�his�membership.� Babasaheb� then� apologized� and� told�him�about�his�struggle�and�that�of�his�community�and�why�he�came�to�England.�

He� also� honestly� admitted� that� he� did� not� have�enough�money�to�go�to�the�cafeteria�for�lunch.�After�

This�incident�changed�Babasaheb's�view�about�Jews�and�he�made�a�new�friend.�He�wrote�many�books�in�future�about�the�struggle�of�the�Jews�and�their�life.

After�our�conversation�ended,�I�called�my�friend�Myra�to�my�home�to�spend�some�time�with�her.�She�is�a�very�close� friend� of� mine� and� we� see� each� other� almost�every�day�as�we�live�in�the�same�building.�Together,�both� of� us� typically� do� some� play� acting� and� our�characters�are�either�from�the�books�we�are�reading�or�some�TV�series�we�are�watching�at�that�time.

I�thought�to�myself,�it�would�not�be�the�same�as�always�-� fun� and� exciting� party� since� we� were� all� stuck� at�home.�It�was�12:00�in�the�night,�I�was�busy�in�my�room�watching� YouTube� and� didn't� realise� the� time.� My�brother� and�mother� sneakily� entered�my� room�and�turned�off�the�lights.�I�thought�it�was�a�power�cut�but�then�they�got�lemon�cupcakes�with�candles�and�sang�the�Happy�Birthday�song�for�me.�

In�the�morning�it�was�my�birthday�-�19th�April�and�I�turned�8,�YAYYY!!�They�made�a�beautiful�birthday�card�for�me�which�I�loved.�I�had�no�clue�what�my�family�was�planning�for�me�for�this�day�but�it�turned�out�to�be�one�of�the�most�special�birthday�ever.�

First,�they�surprised�me�with�a�lip-�smacking�cinnamon�and�Nutella�pancake,�then�in�the�afternoon�the�meal�was� very� exciting� because� my� mother� made� a�homemade�pizza�and�gave�me�Chips�Ahoy�which�I�had�wanted�for�a�very�long�time.�

The�Margarita�pizza�was�absolutely�delicious.� In�the�evening,�I�had�a�virtual�birthday�party�with�my�close�family�and�friends�and�I�cut�my�favourite�red�velvet�cake.�We� then� played� some�games� and� then� it�was�Dinner�Time!�It�was�a�beautiful�table�set�up�with�Mac�&�cheese,�Garlic�bread�and�Mojitos.� I� learnt�my� lesson�that�we�should�be�happy�with�what�we�have.�

I�regretted�saying�that�It�would�not�be�as�exciting�but�It�turned�out�to�be�the�best�day�ever!!!
