This post by Subroto Bagchi brought tears to my eyes, not only because of the story itself, but because I could identify myself in the narration, and could think back of my parents.My father too, was a govt servant(Police service)and never once did he take his children in his jeep. My brothers would be walking about 5 kms to school, and they would proudly say to their friends,"That's our father" when they saw the jeep pass by, and the friends would make fun, saying,"If he was really your father, he would have given you all a lift to the school" - He never used the police orderly for any household work, except to receive and take official messages. He too, never owned a house during his lifetime, but left a rich legacy. My mother too, lived a simple life. The fact that I remembered my own parents so much when I read this blog, is a testimony to the fact that whatever Mr.Bagchi told were universal truths, that they could evoke such emotions in others. Thank you, Mr.Bagchi for sharing this. Regards, Om Prakash I have been a regular reader of changeminds by my friend, A.Hari.
