MR. KUL BHUSHAN GARG SPEAKS (Reader's Post) !!!

            Reader's BLOG POST -->>

        It has been a long time since any reader has sent me a piece of word which he/she would want to share with people and the followers of ARB. This is a new start again. This post is sent to me by Mr. Kul Bhushan Garg. He is 65 years old. Yes, he is really 65 years old and he is as a grandfather for me. When he shared with me that he wants to post something through our blog - ARB, I was so enthralled that I asked him to send the post as soon as possible as I would love to see what will you write. Before talking anything more about him - let me share his Twitter account's link with you where you can find and follow him - Mr. Kul Bhushan Garg's Tweets . After looking at his age, I thought that he may send a boring and out-of-date post but he really made me surprised by the post and its matter. Three cheers and a lot of kudos to you, dadaji. Now let's move forward and read what he had shared with us. Do comment on this.

FOREWORD BY Mr. KUL BHUSHAN GARG :-

         I am trying to enter a new field of writing ,The encouragement to do so was provided by my new friend Abhilash who came into my contact through facebook a/c of my dear grand daughter only about a month ago.I am simply impressed & delighted to read his blogs.He is doing a marvelous job at such a young age.He is the spirit & motivation behind my new venture where I am trying to do something not done by me so far in my life of 65 years although I have been a great reader.

MY CHILDHOOD !!!

          I think everybody has vivid memories of his or her childhood- both good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant. I too remember many things from the period when I was hardly 5or6 yrs old. I used to play with a girl in my neighborhood. We used to sit on the roof of their house on a flat wide boundary wall. Her mother was so busy that she never watched us what we were doing or where we were sitting. 

               One day we started quarreling over something & she just pushed me knowing little what it could mean.I remember falling down from a height of about 15-20 feet in the street outside their house. My mother told me what had happened during the intervening period of 4-5 days when I regained consciousness. I had become unconscious after falling down. Some passer-by had informed my mother. She had gone there running, picked me up in her lap,brought me home ,informed my father by sending a messenger to his shop. In those days there were no hospitals or doctors in our village. There was a local Govt. dispensary manned by a compounder. My father requested him to come to our house with him and give whatever medical aid he could provide.I remained unconscious for 4 days as lot of blood had gone out of my left forehead.My parents had lost all hopes of my survival but I was destined to live.So I am alive till now.
 
              This incident is so vivid in my mind that I recollect it many times.I still remember that girl, she was so afraid & panicy after this incident that she never played with me thereafter. When we grew up,she used to feel very shy & repentant for what she had done to me unknowingly. I used to chide her jokingly that she had killed me but I was powerful enough to come back from the jaws of 'Kaal'-the death.
 
              There are many other sweet memories of my childhood. We used to go to a nearby school. I still remember my first day in school when I was taken there by my father.He had taken with him some sweets to be distributed to the class fellows. I was very much unwilling to go there and started weeping when my father went out leaving me in the company of strangers.Somehow I spent a few hours in the school but was sent to my house thru someone residing near our house. I remember being acoustomed to going to school daily after a few days only as I had made some friends there and no longer felt lonely.In fact I used to be first to reach school even the main gate was yet to be opened by the guard. He used to laugh at my punctuality. This habit of reaching early everywhere is continuing even today. I am never never late whenever and wherever I have to go, whether it is a party or a cinema show or a marriage party or a meeting, I never reached my office late in my entire career of 37 years except a few occasions when I am stuck in heavy traffic jam.
 
             Some habits continue with a person throughout the life. I too carry with me many habits imbibed in me in my childhood.
 
              I think I should stop now as this may not be too & long hence boring. Rest in my next post.
Hope u will enjoy reading it. Thanks for ur support & guidance. Do comment. 

             Thanks.
