A man (guard at ICICI ATM branch) was studying under street lights in Fatehabad district, Haryana. Who’s name is Balinder Singh preparing for his SSE entrance exams. ‘Nothing is out of ordinary’ he is employed in guard duty at an ATM in Panchkula and he’s preparing for exams too. Spotted by Harsh Vats, studying under the street light in the late hours of the night, he sported a wide smile when asked what he was reading. All he said was ‘mein SSE k entrance ki taiyari kar raha hun’.

Here’s Harsh Vats post on Facebook on his confrontation with the young man:

Today while cmng bk frm a party I suddenly realised dat tomorrow is Raksha Bandhan nd in d same refrence I looked at my wallet nd found it lil short fr tomorrow since I m blessed wdh so many sisters for dat auspicious day. I decided to go to my local ATM branch to withdraw some money bt what I found wen I reachd dere ws so motivational dat I decided to share it wdh u all. I saw ds young fellow must be in early 20, Balinder singh from Fatehabad, a guard at ICICI ATM branch sec-11 Panchkula wdh some books nd ws studying under street light.

At once I thought it might b some comic or masala book he must hv been enjyng to kil d time bt after lkng closely I realised dat it ws nt. Unable to hold my curiosity I asked him ‘Bhaiya kya parh rahe ho’ at which wdh a big smile on his face he said ‘mein SSE k entrance ki taiyari kar raha hun’ to which I again asked hm y he s studyng under street light nd nt inside ATM equipped wdh AC nd good light to which he humbly replied dat aftr 12 midnight dey close d AC nd so he has to sit outside bt which is absolutely fine fr him.

There is a lesson to be learnt here. If you ever think about giving up, don’t. For, buckling under is easy, and sure it’s difficult to go through the hardships, the results are generally fruitful. Here’s hoping Balinder Singh finds success and goes on to greater things in life.
