This is a chance given to me to express my feelings and gratitude.

I am Shyam, born and brought up in a very ordinary circumstances by an average agriculturist father. He could not take care of his children’s education except telling our mother to take care of.
She too was not much worried except taking care of her hens and sheep. So we were let aloof and had
our schooling in a free wards fashion which ultimately turned out to be a failure altogether. This
resulted my joining in the defense services and thus bring solace to my family especially reducing
some burden of my father who was working very had to mend both ends.
My father had an ambition that I must marry a girl who can bring some comforts to the family
both by money and by love. I was against take dowry and selected a girl myself and got married without the participation of my family . This certainly was painful to may parents but they did not hate us, instead loved us very much without any expressions.
I had a friend who is of a long term associate of service life could not help me when I was in
a critical stage for help though he was obliged to do so. This was the only incident which kept me yelling till now and I lost him in due course and not heard of him since long. This taught me a
lesson not to love any one without understanding him or her and the social status of such person.
One should always take care before making friends not expecting anything from anyone. Thank you.
