A Feeling of Pride: I was walking home yesterday 

During my walk home yesterday, I was approached by a diminutive man with an extensive painted beard and only one functioning limb. He inquired as to the whereabouts of "Nur Munjil," which was quite astonishing to me as that was the name of my residence. I promptly invited him to follow me as I led him to my doorstep. My mother opened the door and immediately recognized the stranger. He was none other than one of my paternal uncles who had joined the liberation war in 1971.

He then recounted, in great detail, his experiences during and after the war. I listened with keen interest as he described his valiant acts of bravery against the enemy forces. However, he suffered a grievous blow to his head which resulted in the loss of his previous memories. The subsequent days of his life were a bleak and harrowing experience. He was driven to madness, wandering aimlessly with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

However, just a few days earlier, he had a moment of clarity and regained his memories. It was at that moment that the significance of "Nur Munjil" became apparent to him, and he had returned to reunite with his loved ones after a prolonged absence. As I listened to his tale with undivided attention, I couldn't help but feel an immense admiration and respect for this enlightened man. He had endured unspeakable hardships but emerged from them with a newfound appreciation for life.

I am deeply moved by his story and have reserved a special place in the depths of my heart to honor and cherish him forever. He is a true symbol of perseverance, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity.
