The Lantern lit home……
Bappa Jee was family man and believer in education. Got his
brothers educated from best universities. He even gave briskly
running shop to unemployed brother.
Dadda Jee took us to Lucknow for education in urban
atmosphere. He arranged decent house.
Father visited his shops in nearby villages every week. As
mother also shifted, Father cooked himself and burn kerosene-
lantern for lighting; all his brothers had electricity.
Visited Mahmudabad every vacations, to find our sole
kerosene-lantern lit home amongst electricity illuminated
houses. Nobody ever bothered hanging a bulb in our home.
Rightly said, doing good deeds sometimes mean getting
nothing in return……….
