I was blessed with a son, Sparsh alias Tuplu on Oct. 24, 1979. Thereafter, we spent one year in Punjab and returned to Srinagar in 1981. From 1986 onwards I worked as Executive Hospital Services. Due to militancy in the Valley, we migrated to Delhi in March 1990. In 1992, i was transferred to Pune as Area Manager.From 1995 to 1997 I was at Ludhiana, experiencing the pleasures & hardships of living alone as the family stayed back in Delhi to take care of Tuplu's matriculation.
From 1997, we have been staying in Delhi.
GOD has been kind enough to me all through.The family has been a great support, be it the great joint family of yesteryears,the parents,the brothers,the sister,the wife or the son.What i really feel excited about is the era in which i have lived & am living. This to me seems to be historically the most relevant period of developement in terms of science & technology which has altered our quality of life from primitive to sci-fi. Take the communication system.
As a child i remember, the telephone rarely seen at some rich homes, was of the type which would connect you to an operator at an exchange for even a local call.Talking to somebody in the same city over a telephone was a big luxury back then.Today you are globally connected through mobiles,internet,video conferncing etc. Nobody would even believe the kind of toilets we would use thirty years ago. We used to go to the backyard where a mud built 4 ft by 4ft cell would overflow with shit for two days, till the sweeper would come to clean the place. For next two days excreta would continue to accumulate till the sweeper showed up again. Come rain or snow, you had to walk up to that overflowing shithole. And today the bathrooms look better than the drawing rooms we used to have then.Even the kitchen is no longer recognisable. We would use cowdung,wood,coal & then as we progressed kerosene as kitchen fuel. Transport is another field which has seen revolutionary change.
The best that we had then were horse drawn Tongas & some noisy slow moving buses ,which used to take two days to reach jammu from srinagar.Car on a road in Srinagar was a rare sight.Boats on river Jhelum were the common mode of transport. Thus, watching this transition from primitive to technologically advanced ,in a span of just 50 years, i believe is God's best gift to me.
All these years i had the privelege of the friendship of three gentelmen, Abdul Rehman Bhat, Maharaj Krishan Bhat and Romesh Kaul. May God Bless them."
