At the age of 17, I left home and never came back after that.

Studied from Intermediate to Ph.D. on scholarship only - there was no bread even for 2 times meal in home, so there was no question to support me for studies - many time it was only salt and bread to eat - grandfather was in mood to arrange a job of typist in civil court only after when I passed high school.

Got Rs. 50 scholarship in Intermediate, 100 in B.Ed., 125 in M.A., then Rs. 700 in M.Phil. and Ph.D.

On my own efforts I got University teaching job and wife and fought with system for 30 years just for honesty and moral values and finally left the job when fed up.

Constructed a good family in 35 years - never ignored or denied even a single desire or wish of wife or daughters.

After 30 years of struggle when time came to live in peace and as always she systematized everything and after 10 days we were to begin a totally tension free life, everything demolished - beautifully set home destroyed.

And now I am almost on streets in bewilderness….
