Smile on face even after death

Before starting the article, I bow to the divine soul about whom this article is being written.

 

It is said that human life is considered to be meaningful and successful for the one, on whose birth the newborn cries and the family rejoices and there is a smile on the face after death, And the relatives, companions involved in the funeral procession become like crying. 

 

I am talking about my colleague Dr. Ganga Singh Chauhan, M.D. who left this world two years ago, but his memories still remain in the hearts and minds of thousands of people. After his death, his last rites were performed at his farmhouse “Arogya Dham” in Sadri town of Pali district, which was his wish. I also went to Sadri from Jodhpur to attend his funeral that day and garlanded him at the last moment. My companion lay on the death bed, with eyes closed, giving me the impression that even after death, he is looking at me with a smile on his face. You will be surprised to know that Thakurs of Pali district, Muslim leaders, Sikh leaders, poor people and rich people from Bombay attended his funeral that day. On that day, in the funeral procession, everyone was emotional and we’re kind of trying to hold their tears off. 

 

Now you will be curious to know what my fellow doctor did in life, which created the above environment. I am presenting a little account of it.

 

  1. Friendly treatment to all the sick, their relatives, farm house workers and anyone who met him. I have been associated with his family in Jodhpur for sixty years. I do not remember that in his life he has offended anyone. Even seeing his public fame, a politician had tried to kill him many years ago by giving him the appearance of an accident, but his car driver’s alertness saved his life. The same person was later cured by him from a terrible disease without prejudice.

 

  1. While holding the post of Chief Medical Officer in Pali district, in Pali Government Hospital, with the financial support of donors, created wards for Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Institute, Burn Unit, Trauma Center and T.B. Earlier, being the Chief Medical Officer of a small government hospital in Sadri town, he inspired the donors to expand the building and provided modern equipment. Similarly in Jalore Serving as head Medical Officer, Intensive Care Unit, TB ward and Burn units and providing necessary equipment with the support of donors.

 

  1. He was the Director without pay of Harigiri Hospital, Kakira (Himachal Pradesh). Along with this, Sadri, Jalore branch of the Indian Red Cross Society was the founder president. 

 

  1. He identified about 300 AIDS victims in Pali district and in Jalore and Sirohi districts, which is now a matter of 30 years ago. Arranged for free medicine for life saving and rehabilitation, on his own.

 

  1. He did research about para citrus disease germ, tapeworm, dengue virus and AIDS and Indian Medical Association published in its journal and got cognizance. 

 

  1. It was my good fortune that he kept a relationship with me like a real brother for life and inspired me to live a happy life.

 

Readers, now you must have been convinced that who will not feel sad when such a simple, service-oriented, affectionate, efficacious and healer of sorrows leaves this world.

मृत्यु के बाद भी चेहरे पर मुस्कान

Principles of the Principal of my College

Yes, today I am mentioning those principles in front of you, the Principal of my MBM Engineering College, Late Late. VG Garde Sahib had adopted. Though almost 50 years have passed since I left college and Garde Saheb Devlok Gaman has also been done many years ago, the glimpse of his personality and his excellent principles are still alive in my mind. 

 

  1. He was very punctual. Exactly at 7:35AM would have reached the college prayer place. A Dulichand Mistry would match his alarm clock, which he had with him, every day to the clock of Garde Saheb and matched the clock hanging in all the classrooms of the college. The prayer would start exactly at 7:40AM. Then every student, employee or professor, wherever he was, stopping his cycle / car etc. would stand till the end of the prayer. The students would appear in the class exactly at 8:00AM and the door of the class would be closed for 5 minutes.

 

  1. When he went out to inspect the college, if there was any mistake of the students of any class, he would have called only the head of the department. We did not see him openly talking to any student.

 

  1. He was not a follower of politicians. Once there was a big event in the college, in which a minister was also called. The Minister was half an hour late, then Garde Sahib started the proceedings of the House and started his speech. Then when the minister came, he said – I have delayed coming here today, sorry for that, after taking your seat, Bale-Garde sir, you can start your speech.

 

  1. His boy in college whose name was A.V. There was Garde, he also studied in our college, but he never went to Garde’s (Father) sahab’s office. Different buildings in the college, students of different engineering subjects They knew each other less. I came to know, in the second year, when one day his name was read on the notice board of the college. The principal and his son lived at a distance of about 3 kilometers from the college, but Garde Saheb used to come to the college in a blue colored ambassador car and his son used to cycle from the same bungalow to the college. It is said that one day in the evening the principal was going to his residence by car, then on the way the driver stopped the car at one place. He asked the driver – why did the car stop? The driver said- Sir Avinashji’s cycle chain is broken, so he is walking on foot with the cycle in his hand. Garde sahib said – you drive the car, he will come with a cycle.

 

I was fortunate that I was his student and I adopted his punctuality in my life. With his blessings, I am leading my life with punctuality during my Vidyut Mandal service period and now even at the time of 23rd retirement, although there is 100% cooperation of Mrs. Blessed are such great men, so many respects to them.

मेरे कॉलेज के प्रधानाचार्य के सिद्धान्त

That was also a time

This case is from the year 1967-68, when I was on the duty of Junior Engineer at Jodhpur Thermal Power Station. When I used to go to meet my Pehar or my in-laws in the village, I used to have food in a hotel. Later on, there was a family relationship with the hotel owner. One day he said that my sister’s wedding is in Delhi and father has asked you to accompany me to attend the wedding. To see Delhi, I obeyed him and went to Delhi. After seeing Delhi for three or four days, I wanted to see Agra, so I told my hotel mate that now I will go to Agra from here and reach Jodhpur from there.

 

My colleague above said that in those days Agra was dominated by pickpockets, so he told me to beware of pockets, they behave like decent citizens in good dress. and cross the pocket as soon as they get a chance

 

On reaching Agra, I contacted another colleague, Raju, who was a junior engineer in the Jodhpur Telephone Exchange, by telephone and said that if there is any acquaintance in Agra, then call me back, so that if the pocket is cut, he will come to Jodhpur. I can borrow ticket money for. After half an hour, he got a telephonic reply that I have called Mr. Gupta, my acquaintance at the Agra Telephone Exchange, and you call him on this number immediately.

 

It was evening, he told the address of the telephone exchange and asked to meet him immediately. As soon as I met him he was very happy and took me to his house. In the evening I started going out to have dinner at the hotel, they stopped and made arrangements for the food at their home. There was a share in a two-room rented house. He and his wife were in one room and arranged for me to sleep in the other room. At night his wife spoke softly to the junior engineer I was listening to. He asked who this gentleman was. He said that I got a call from Jodhpur, Raju Junior Engineer, that I was with you in training in Buland city.

 

Although I have forgotten his face in four-five years, this gentleman is a junior engineer in the electricity department in Jodhpur and a special friend of the state. On the second day, he had to go to Meerut along with his family for his brother-in-law’s wedding, so he said that you should stay comfortably for two-three days in this room and while leaving the house key to the staff on duty, in the telephone exchange. 

 

How much did that Agra engineer believed in me?

 

The next morning I went to visit the Red Fort of Agra. From there I left to see the Taj Mahal by bus. Two strangers sat near me and started talking. After getting off the bus, I went to see the Taj Mahal alone, then I realized that these people could be pickpockets. They asked me to come to the Taj Mahal with them. I thought, let’s see how they pick pockets? When I was returning after seeing the Taj Mahal, I said – I will now go to the restaurant to have some food.

 

They said that you should go with us and have food in the hotel. We had the food and then I expressed my interest about paying the bills, then they said this food is from our side today. 

 

After having dinner, I asked them to go to Fatehpur Sikri with a view to get rid of them, then they also took a taxi with me to Fatehpur Sikri, then I came to know that one of the gentleman is a medical officer in railway service in Akola (Maharashtra) And his in-laws are in Agra and the other person is his brother-in-law. My initial guess turned out to be wrong. When I reached the station to catch the train back from Jodhpur Agra Cantt in the evening, the gentleman was standing at the station to bid me farewell. Later correspondence went on for a year and he wished that they along with their family would come to Mount Abu in Rajasthan in March next year and I too should meet them there with my family. After that his transfer probably happened to Bhusaval and then we got separated. I still don’t understand why the doctor had to spend so much and support me when I was a complete stranger.

 

Readers, you must have felt the joy of seeing the old-fashioned faith and love.

 

Look, that old era, the things of that era, the change of time, that too was an era.

वह भी एक जमाना था

Youthfulness of the Younger Generation

Earlier there were joint families. All three generations of families lived together in the same house. According to the orders of the head of the house, all the customs, engagement, marriage, business etc. of the house were completed. Even young children were confident that parents would do well in their marriage decisions. 20 years ago, a gentleman told me that he went to see his son’s would-be daughter-in-law, his son used to work outside. Then the boy’s father showed the girl’s father the photo and when the girl was shown the photo by her mother, the girl immediately said to her father and mother that the boy you both would like for my relationship is acceptable to me, although that girl was well educated. This was the level of faith, that time, that the girl had on her parents. 

 

Now the situation has changed in such a way that first you should give good education to your children, then with their ability they get a good package in a private company. There they come in contact with a girl/boy who works together. Live in relationship starts and what the boy says, the girl blindly believes.

 

For example, an acquaintance of mine is an industrialist, he has a daughter. Business is going very well. He took good care of his daughter. After two years of the job, the industrialist told his daughter “I have seen two boys in his society, you also see them, if you like, let’s talk about the engagement.” The girl said “you are a person of old thoughts. I am an adult now and I will inform you after seeing a boy of my own choice.”

 

A year later, the girl told the parents about the co-worker, who belonged to another caste, where it is considered permissible to eat meat and drink alcohol. Whereas the girl belongs to the Suvarna Samaj. The girl told her parents that I have known him for two years. She said that the boy is a decent person and even garlic and onions are not permitted in their house. Parents, grandparents explained a lot but she did not budge, the boy’s magic was over her. Eventually the parents agreed for the sake of the girl’s happiness.

 

When the boy’s family was contacted, they asked them to come to Sikar with the girl, then it will be easy for us and here you will not have any problem in staying in the hotel and completing the marriage rituals. The girl’s family members went to Sikar by filling their relatives in buses, where the girl got married with a great celebration. 

 

The girl went to her in-laws’ house. Seven-eight months were spent with difficulties and the girl who had been given the pretext that they did not consume meat and liquor, turned out to be false and from the girl’s parents for her expenses.

 

They started pressuring the girl to ask for money from her parents for her personal expenses. After all, the girl came back to her parents’ and gave full information to the parents about how she was harassed. She said – I will not go to Sikar now, you should send the notice of divorce. From now on I will not even get married.

 

In this way, when we hand over everything to the girl, considering the younger generation as wise, mature, then the above situation arises. Not one but four to five such cases have come to my notice. 

 

Boys and girls will also be found educated in our own society, it’s just a matter of finding them. Your close relatives can be very helpful in this. Just getting a good package is not a guarantee of a good family life. Yes, the opinion of the girl is also necessary, but the parents should also keep looking at the suitable bride/groom without leaving the girl in the relationship; and if a boy / girl from the society or society’s equivalent caste comes to their attention, then the parents should investigate. Get engaged when satisfied, then organize a marriage for about a year after being satisfied with the complete information of the boy’s family. Then you will see that the boy and the girl are happy, and the people of the society will also say “what a wonderful relationship they have had.” 

 

This is my personal opinion, this article is written just to warn you.
