15/10/09, Gurgaon
Once again its Dhanteras-first day of the five-day Diwali Festival,when precious metals are bought.It was exactly same day 07/11/2007 (dhanteras) when I gave successful interview for my first job.
Today, the day started very beautifully.There was a Diwali puja in our office and it was mandatory for all to come in traditional wear.So I put on my kurta pyjama and began to lock my room as I was leaving for home for Diwali celebrations.As soon I locked my room my land lady and land lord said that they were thinking that I will leave the next day and they were planning to give me Diwali sweets which they have not bought yet.I was little surprised to hear this.I said that I am leaving today because there is a holiday in my company the next day.On hearing this my land lord presented me some money so that I can buy sweets.He also pressed my shoulder as if showing care.I refused to accept as I was feeling shy.But he insisted to take and wished me and my family for Diwali .I accepeted the money with mix feelings of surprise and goodness.
I have been living in that room since May 20 ,2008.It looks long time in comparison to my colleagues who have changed 6-7 rooms in two year time.My land lord’s behaviour has always been very kind towards me.They helped me in every way-providing the ideal conditions for study.
Its quiet a rare thing to find such land lords in these modern cities where man has become a mechanical machine.
It was a heartening experience which I will remember for long time.
