showered their lives with bliss.

My mother’s aches and conditions to which she had submitted
herself disappeared in no time. My father, an army officer, was in the
thickest of situations and times, fighting in Punjab or Srinagar. He
would be out there in the battlefields to serve the nation, exposing

we saw the eight o’ clock train chugging into the Bikaner platform
at only around nine o’ clock. It had been delayed on account of fog.
Now we knew why we were sitting with Guruji all the time.

Guruji took care of my father’s career and will always do so, too.
Guruji is with Dad whenever he needs him. There are slips in one’s
career; often it is the deserving people who suffer the most. Also,
