Everyone faces good and bad experiences throughout life. My situation is also no different from thousands and millions of people like them. I have also faced many good and bad and very exciting experiences in my life. But one very bad experience had greatly affected my life.

What was the most exciting or worst experience you have ever had in your life?

The worst thrilling experience of my life happened some 3-4 years back. I had gone to my government headquarters in connection with some work. And when I was returning from there, my wife called me and she told me that a large part of the house was submerged in water due to heavy rains. It had been many years since we lived in this house, but never before had I heard of so much rain that it filled the house. I couldn't believe it and thought she was joking with me. But then he showed me the live pictures of the house submerged in water by video calling, I was shocked to see the condition of the house in the video.

The entire lower floor was filled with water up to 4-5 feet, all the household items, double bed, Almirah, fridge, food items, and the clothes kept in the shelves and the lower part of the bed, were all soaked in water.
I still had to take 5-6 hours to reach home, so I could not do anything from such a distance, just worrying all the way. When I reached home at 4-5 in the evening, the whole city was full of water. I could reach home with great difficulty. My wife and children were standing outside the house submerged in water, and were trying unsuccessfully to get the water inside the house with buckets. As soon as I reached home, I called some of my assistants for help.

Then tried to get the water out by asking for a Tullu pump from the market but failed. Then a friend advised that with the help of a big water pump, which is also called a submersible pump, the water can be quickly removed from the house. I got a submersible pump on rent from the market and with its help I was able to get the water out of the house in 4-5 hours. But the mud and mud still remained in the whole house. Whole house was stinking, I called some laborers at night and got the house cleaned with their help. But still many problems remained unanswered. Not even a single bed and sleeping cloth was left. Spent the night somehow by getting some mattress on rent from the market.

How the experiences affected your life ?

This bitter experience hurt us a lot, all the clothes of my family members got ruined by drowning in dirty water, many of these clothes had to be sent for dry cleaning. Wearing and laying everyday clothes had to be sent to the washer man to be washed. Many warm clothes were completely destroyed. All wooden furniture, dressing table, dining table, sofa, double bed, wooden shelves. All the iron shelves became useless. And the valuable and essential documents kept in them were also destroyed by getting wet. The costly artificial jewelery of my wife was also destroyed.

I must have lost about 5000 Steem. My whole family was in shock of this loss for many days. And then I had to spend 20000 Steem from work to work to raise the Maken anew so that this incident does not recur.

What advice would you give to people like my sisters who have had bad experiences?

I can understand how bad your sister must have gone through when your sister's house was robbed. I know that when robbers enter someone's house, then the family members of that house have to go through what mentality, along with financial loss they also have to go through mental trauma.

I would like to give only this much advice to the people who have gone through this situation that every event, loss, gain of life is not in our hands, it is all in the hands of God. That's why be patient, the God who has caused harm, he will get it fulfilled. But to avoid this type of incident in the future, some precautions must be taken. Because it is said that the accident happened when the caution was removed. We should always be careful in our lives.

Thanks for reading my point of view and experience.
