The story "Lesson of Life" by Ghanshyam Katriya recounts an evening when the author and his friends went out for tea late at night. At the tea stall, they observed a young girl, around 7-8 years old, who appeared very happy, possibly because it was her birthday. The author reflects on her happiness and questions why she is so carefree, realizing it stems from her lack of worries about the future. He contrasts this with his own childhood, where he and others often disliked school and were more focused on play rather than future responsibilities. The author ponders the wisdom shared by parents during childhood, which often went unheeded, and considers how growing up leads to an awareness of duties and challenges that come with age. Overall, the narrative emphasizes the innocence of childhood and the inevitable transition to adulthood, where worries and responsibilities replace carefree joy.
