a tribute to my grandfather

as a young man, he started his career as a small cereal food-grain seller in village. he didn't stop there. he made himself a reputed cereal food-grain business man in village and became known even in surrounding villages. once he told me that keeping secrecy of critical situation is very important to seal a good business deal. how he managed to buy a big mango orchid at cheap price from a landlord who urgently needed large sum. never invite competition when you are buying. he made fortune but at same time lost in bad deals too. Inspite he was educated up to class seven, he gave top priority to quality education. his personal drive for better education inspired many villagers to take education. after working for few years, finally he established a village high school so that more students can get education up to matriculation atleast. when he died, a large number of people from various villages irrespective of caste or personal conflict, came and attended funeral rite. grand-dad taught me one thing. 'making difference in society matters most. ' he is my hero.

@ times we become very humane and touched when we find good examples @ home
