When we started to stay at our home during night, we used to stay teriffied. Maybe it nights of winter, summer or rainy season, she used to remain awake and alert.

I remembered, bad elements once came in our garden. When we woke up we realized. Police was informed and police patrolling was given for quite a long interval.

Stress and anxiety was all detoriating her health slowly. I could not contribute anyway, but I supported her in every small way I could. I was allowed to enjoy my childhood. I was not pressurized for studies.

One of my mother's friend told my mother to get married and she brought a proposal. She denied maybe for me or she did not want to. Aunty said that later she would realize that how difficult it would be to tackle everything all alone.

She had time for nothing except to think and work for my career.

I was not brilliant, but I studied. I was talkative at classes, and complain used to come from teachers. I used to fall sick and have fever quite frequently. I was healthy then and I was mocked by my friends. Initially I was affected, slowly I got used to.

I never felt envy of anything. My friends had bigger houses. Some used to show off. It did not affect me. I was always satisfied with what I had.

My understanding and supportive nature was a boon for my mother. Else her life would have become hell, if I too would not cooperate.
