I was born at Paeshwar at a time when dark clouds of Second World War were hovering over Europe. The
effect of these dark clouds took abiut a couple of years to spread over India and effect Indian,s life.My DAD who was working in Military Engineering Services was posted to Iraq War Front by the British.
I have vague memory , as a child of approx.of 3, my mother visiting various temples and priests and going on long Fasts and donating a lot of money along with many hours of prayers for the safe return of my Dad.
Dad had shifted us to Lahore, our native place before moving out to Iraq. Many relatives and neighbours would visit us to pay lip symphaties. Their talks like,Oh, poor lady, a mother of 5 daughter and a 3 year old son,how would she pull through--would dampen our spirits further. Mother being busy in worship and preyers,the day to day house hold affairs were taken care by the elder sisters. During this time mother was reduced to a skelton due to heavy fasting and worries.
After about 2 years stay iat the War Front, father suffered severe appandicitec pains, and as told later an immidiate operationh had to be performed in a tent on a working table and in the light of a kerosene lamp.
The operation was succesful. As to our good luck,and difinitly due to God listining to our mother,s prayers
a good Btitish surgeon was visiting the front at that time.But the moment Dad regained conciousness , he turned aroud on the table and fell down. the stiches had to be redone .Almighty was again with us.
