🔹 What is the story behind your smile?
It is a story from quite some time ago. Religious fervor had spread in my city for certain reasons, leading to riots; a curfew was imposed, and everything became abnormal. Since I worked in the Health Department, I had a curfew pass and a government vehicle at my disposal, allowing me to travel anywhere. Taking advantage of this, I would go to the outskirts of the city—where life was normal and shops were open—to purchase daily essentials, food supplies, and vegetables for my acquaintances, friends, and neighbors, and then deliver these items to them. This continued for 40 days. Fulfilling the needs of my neighbors and loved ones gave me immense happiness, and that was the reason for my smile.

During that curfew, when a gloomy and monotonous atmosphere hung over everyone's homes in my area, I used my large color television and a VCR to screen movies all night long, entertaining everyone. This made me very popular in the neighborhood; everyone respected me, and their happiness brought me joy as well.

I believe that if we can bring happiness to someone through even a small effort, we should certainly do so. God has given us this life, which is incredibly precious and will not come again; therefore, we should always strive to keep both ourselves and others happy.
🔹 Have you ever smiled while going through a difficult time? Tell us about it.

Yes, I never took difficulties too seriously; instead, I focused on finding solutions and smiled my way through those trying times. Doing so gave me a sense of inner strength. Throughout my life, I have kept both myself and others happy by helping not only myself but also others during their difficult times.

🔹 Where do you find the courage to keep smiling during difficult moments?

In reality, I began my life facing tough struggles and strict discipline right from childhood. My father was an extremely honest government official who always inspired us to work hard and taught us to bring situations under control through patience and discipline during times of trouble. It was this rigorous training and discipline that taught me to remain composed even during difficult moments.
