I have received a lot of good and bad news in my past few years. Today I got an opportunity to talk about it a year ago while I was studying for my exam. The next day I heard noise from downstairs in my home. So I took a break and went there with curiosity. Everyone in my family has big smiles on their bright faces. I felt relief. Then I asked them what they were talking about. My brother told me that my uncle and his family were shifting to Canada. I was surprised and happy. However, they were not at home so we decided to make a call to congratulate them. In evening we went all together to Gurudwara in sense of gratitude and took the blessing. After two months they went to Canada. I missed them so much in addition. I had a very great bonding with them. Personally I am very happy for them that they got settled there over there and living a very good lifestyle. So this is all about good news I have heard.
