My Life Story - Part 1 💾

-

We will start from childhood because this part of life is the most amazing and innocent , the years we spend in our birth are actually happy days for parents because we don't remember what happens at that time.
But when we are close to seven years old, then we all understand and remember many of the moments .This is probably the kind of nature that we like to be innocent among our parents at the beginning of our childhood so that they can remember their moments of joy.
It was from my parents that I came to know that I was born in Lakhimpur Kheri city of Uttar Pradesh in the early 80s . That phase was completely different from the present-day era, but there was a life of simplicity everywhere, be it food or clothing.
In this blog , I will write all the truths that are good and what is bad or evil things, I will not mislead my past by remembering them .
Leave it alone, a person should remember good moments and forget his bad times and make his day memorable.
We are two brothers, one older than me   and my mother has been a government teacher and father was a government employee in the forest department .
I have been very shy and hesitant to talk to anyone since childhood and often I used to sit in a room when some guests came . In those times, people used to come to each other's house and indulged in happiness and misery, they used to meet people nearby everyday.
Those times had different things, people believed in simplicity and brotherhood and this is a good thing for any social environment . Even if there was a shortage of money, due to the simple life, it did not knock us so much, but throughout the day our time was spent in some good work.
Our day started in the morning with the alarm clock ringing, which was often kept at our bedside. We used to sleep under the sky in the open courtyard inside the house, except in the winter season, on the cot which had a soft cotton mattress. In fact, the first two decades of my life were spent in house number six of forest colony which was quite lush and natural environment of our Lakhimpur city which is still present today. Even now I sometimes roam there while I live with my family at another place in a same town .
Now the house is our own, first the house where we stayed in forest colony was government residence which was allotted to my father.
It can be said that this place had a big impact on my heart and mind and my attachment to nature became firm.
You do not even know how time goes by and we have a past that can be told and it is full of romantic stories of youth from innocent things of our childhood. We were in that era when everything seemed to be slow, nothing would happen that would surprise us, but that time was of books and people used to read novels or comics even during the journey of buses, train and every big station there was a bookstore . Rather at that time people eagerly waited for the next part of the novel or comics and as its new part came, people used to buy it without delay, but there were definitely two shops in every street where this novel and comics were hired and People used to take these books to the house and read diligently with one rupee....✒

Our Journey - Meter Gauge Railway

The journey of Meter gauge train used to be a world in itself. From late 80s to mid 90s when I had traveled the trains were operated with steam locomotive, then later from 1995 the train was began to operated with Ydm4 diesel locomotive  .Then two to three pairs of passenger trains and three pairs of express trains would pass through our lakhimpur railway staition which came from Bareilly, Palia and Mailani junction and reached Lucknow via Sitapur. I usually used to travel from Lakhimpur to Lucknow and return from Lucknow to Lakhimpur and it took about four hours to complete this journey as trains were often crossed due to single meter gauge railway line, which made trains had to stay at the station lying between this route . And as a crossed train passed through the station, the token is then given to the other train's loco pilot standing there and it used to move towards its destination . Between the train journey of Lucknow and Lakhimpur, it was necessary to stop every train at

My Life Story 🚵 - Part 3

In the late 80s, when I was ten years old, the birds I saw around my house I was always be curious to see them and that's how I became fond of it and established myself as a birdwatcher .   The area where I had spent my childhood was filled with a lot of species of birds and probably because of the greenery of the trees, the birds loved this area very much .  It was my pleasure to be so close to the birds but at that time it was a challenge for me to identify birds by name . But wherever there is a will, there is a way and it happened that as my hobby grew, things got easier , I remember how I got some books on birds from a library in the city and I started identifying some common birds by name. Those days I didn't need binoculars because I could see birds very close and sometimes I even took some birds in my hands but once a small bird died of suffocation in my hands, which made me very sad and this is the first time I'm telling you .  You might be surprised th

The place which I like the most and never forgotten by my mind was indeed  my birth place where I had spent almost twenty years from the Childhood to the young age and those memories always hanging around me and I have decided to filled all these remembering into the treasure of words through my blog . In my earlier blog I have been already told that the Forest colony in the Lakhimpur district of Uttar Pradesh was the place to where I gathered all the wonderful memories Since the early 1980s to the later 1999s . In fact the forest colony was the platform from where on those days I had learned how to live in the lap of nature and also how to delivered the reaction when the wild animals were very closer . It was almost the dusk time and in front of my quarter house there was a temple nearby the forest nursery where for the first time I had astounded because what I saw there was never saw before . More than twenty  checkered keelback  or  Asiatic water snake  ( Xenochrophis piscator )
