The book relates to the period as back as 1893 when my 50 years' grandfather married my 22 years old grandmother. My ancestors were extremely poor since there was not sufficient yield from the agricultural land, it having gone barren for want of adequate sources of irrigation, and also due to the low prices of the produce. They were, therefore engaged in spinning and producing yarn from grass and bushes for cots etc. and were also doing other labor jobs. My grandfather passed away in 1901 when my father was just 3 years old, and there was nothing left behind to enable the family to make both ends meet. Consequently, my father, on turning 7 years, was deployed by my grandmother as a domestic servant in various houses to clean dirty utensils and clothes. Subsequently in the year 1921 my father, when he was was 23 years old,.was taken to the nearby town Rukkan (District Mandi Bahauddin) and allowed to join a partnership business by his cousin (father's sister's son) since his own sons were too young to undertake any activity. My father got married in 1930 and we three brothers were born. In the year 1939, my father was expelled by his cousin from the business since his own sons had grown up and thus he did not need my father's services. It was then that my father started his own business.It was a great success and my father was now among rich persons. To his bad luck, the partition of the country took place in 1947 and consequently, our family had to flee from Pakistan empty handed and finally reached Delhi.in 1955. We faced very bad days here in Delhi but ultimately, with the concerted hard work put in by my family, we achieved a very comfortable position. My next generations now comprise of doctors, lawyers and, Managers.; One of my sons has since settled in Australia and is well placed there, having his own house built up on an area of 1000 square yards.. My granddaughter has taken up studies to be an eye specialist in a reputed University in Melbourne. We live in big bungalows in a posh colony in New Delhi and each member of the family owns an independent car both in Australia and New Delhi (India). I am 79 now and running a big industry jointly with my son. While achieving all this, my beloved wife has been very cooperative and put in very hard labor throughout. It may appear to be unbelievable, but it is a fact that we have still a common kitchen in New Delhi since the marriage of my son 32 years back along with the still next generations consisting of my grandson (PG Doctor in Orthopedics) and his wife who too is a Senior Resident Doctor in Gynecology. Both are employed in the same Hospital. They have a daughter KUHU @ Mahira Mahna. After all these achievements, I continue praying to God for the welfare and uninterrupted prosperity of my family. .
