• One of the things I really like about India is that despite modernization, we still haven’t adopted the individualism of the west.

• Today, I am going to talk about a situation when my sister asked me for help.
• It’s a little different because she is studying abroad, and thus it is not possible for me to help her often.
• The help was regarding a college assignment.
• In college, she had an assignment to talk about a famous person from their country.
• My sister has always been interested in Indian Independence and she wanted to talk about Bhagat Singh, a famous Indian freedom fighter.
• However, there was very less information on Bhagat Singh available on the internet especially on his personal life.
• So, she called me and asked me if I could procure her the information.
• At first, I was not sure, how I could help.
• But then I remembered, there is a Bhagat Singh Museum about 80 km from my house.
• Certainly, there would be some information available there.
• I went there and inquired.
• The staff told me that there were in fact a lot of books and old newspapers on Bhagat’s Singh life available with them.
• But, unfortunately due to lack of resources and time, they had not been able to upload these on the internet.
• I asked for their permission to scan the pages on his personal life.
• They were reluctant at first because the books and newspaper were very old and improper handling might damage them.
• However, on my insistence, they allowed me to do so in their presence.
• It took me nearly five hours, but I finally found the relevant information.
• Then, I scanned it and sent it to my sister.
