my life a penance
I am 62 years of age sound in body and mind,of late i have been undergoing tremendous stress and due to this have developed diabetes, thats what my doctor says. My uncle had a shop in a mill and since the business was flourishing he needed someone reliable,honest,dependable,so he asked my father to let me come to mumbai from my native place in punjab to assist him. Well i was in school barely sixteen but eager to earn for my self and my father permitted me so with my parents blessings I came to mumbai. Life was good, I had a good job ,I lived in an rental apartment very spacious one bed hall kitchen,self contained. Compared to my salary the rent was measly just a few rupees. slowly as the business improved so did my salary I managed to buy a second hand car, working with my uncle assisting him in his business keeping late hours, but doing reasonably well , so after some time my parents started receiving many proposals chose a girl, not much educated but loving and homily was the citeria. I was thirty she was twenty,quite normal for an age difference of 10 years in the good old days.My place of residence being quite close to where I worked, lived at Khar and worked at Lalbaug I never felt the need to ever move from a rental apartment to an ownership one.God blessed us with two sons within a span of a year the first was born and within two years the second son,our joys knew no bounds, we had two strong pillars .
