Episode:
Start of Independent Life
Hello readers! Hope you all are doing well in your lives and also waiting for this episode. ;)
So my last episode ended with the mention about our grandpa’s first job posting in Lasur, Maharastra or rather Marathwada. In case you missed it, here is the link.

Now there is quite a lot for me to write about their adventures and experiences for the next 35 years or so. They travelled and lived in different places in and around Andhra, Telangana and Maharastra making their home in each place they lived. And it takes a woman to turn a house into a home, no arguing on that point.
In the coming episodes we will read and try to visualize if the new cultural and geographical conditions influenced our grandma since she was still very much a girl when she went to live in an entirely new place with her husband.
During the times when there were no telephones, electricity, no cooking gas stove, let alone internet, computers or google translator, grandma has not just managed but ruled the entire concept of socializing with everyone.
Grandpa told me that before I actually start writing about their lives in Lasur, he wants the readers to know of the time he was still a trainee in the railways for one and a half year.
“It was both theoretical and practical training. As a trainee I was given a single room to stay; just a rectangular room with a window and a door. I and your granny lived there.”
“She comes from a fairly decent family and was used certain comforts at home that were available during our times. But here she had absolutely none of those. We pulled curtain to divide the room into two parts, one for makeshift kitchen and other for living-cum-bed.”
“We owned one chair, a small tea table and thin mattresses to sleep on by spreading them on the ground. She adjusted to everything with any compliant. I always admire her for the inner strength is she possesses to handle any situation.” Grandpa said smiling.
One cannot really help but try to learn a few things from grandma. Though she is very modest and says she cannot manage much we know it’s not true. She has always been the anchor for grandpa and he loves her just as she loves him.
Meet you again in the next episode in which I will give a brief outline which will be elaborated in the further episodes. The reason for such being that there is much to write about and I do not want to exclude any detail.
So till then, be happy, be kind..
