My Life...My auto biography

Early Life : I was born in Faizabad(U.P.;india ) ,which closer to birthplac(Ayodhya) of lord Rama .I was son of my loving parents(Sri Surya Prasad Verma and Smt. ) who loved me very much as I was the youngest in the family of 3 boys and 1 girl. My father was a buisnessman owning a shoe shop(Varma Boot House). My father was enjoying good relations with political leaders and social workers such as Sri. Madan Mohan Verma, Raja Ranjay Singh, Kailash Nath Singh, Kesh Bhan Rai and others.He was also a leadig member of Aarya Samaj,Faizabad.He was not well educated but his approach was very simple and clear.He wanted to educate me as much as possible , so I completed my intermediate education under his guidance.Later I got admission in Govt. Polytechnic Lucknow( instead of B.Sc in Lakhimpur district as desired by my parents ) . I  completed diplma in Civil Engineering in 1965 and got my first job in minor irrigation department,U.P. My firstl posting was in block katehery in Faizabad district. Here I had to lead my life alone and so it became a picnic place for my relatives.
Marriage : On 15/04/1968, I got married to Sandhya-daughter of Sri Ashwani kumar saxena and Smt. Kalawati Saxena. I started my married life in block Lambhua(district Sultanpur). As I was working mostly in villages, so was not much satisfied with my job. Consequently, I left service of minor irrigation and joined public works department(P.W.D) at Hamirpur where I worked in road division. Later I was transferred to Jhansi city(famous for Rani Laxmi Bai),where I worked for the construction of medical college((Maharani Laxmibai Medical College).
Parenting :  In the year 1975 I became the proud father of my loving son anurag whom I loved very much more than anybody in my family( the reason I don't know). I celebrated first birthday of my son with pomp and show(as affordable by me) .Anurag was very naughty in his early childhood days. I still have many mischievous but sweet memories of him. After jhansi I transferred to Lucknow which fascinated me all the time. During my stay at Lucknow,  I became father of my loving daughter Nupur in 1978. She made our family complete. Later from Lucknow, I was transfered to district Gonda in 1980,where basic education of my children got completd but life took a twist as Anurag got diagnosed squint in his eyes and also started loosing eyesight. This caused us to visit Sitapur eye hospital( in Sitapur district) for his treatment. My wife took this responsibility as I was busy in job. Ultimately to ease out the pressure I took transfer to Sitapur. I did not know that Sitapur will be so attached to my future life.We spent long time in Sitapur(from 1986 to1996) and here kids completed their intermediate education as well.
As the time passed by , We bought a plot in lucknow. As always , my wife took the major responsibility of construction work of house(My present home in lucknow). As always, she worked very hard for consruction of our home. Final education my anurag and nupur is completed  in Lucknow itself. in 1998 my father-in-law dies. After the death of my father-in-law in, somehow my wife's health changed and from then she carried  one or the other health problem.
Son's Marriage:  My son started working as software engineer and so we started looking for a suitable bride for him. Later I took the decision to marry Anurag with Divya(daughter of Smt. and Sri Surya Prakash Saxena,Lucknow). Kundli of Divya and Anurag was matched and they found unsuitable for each other. So family was in jinx and were not ready for this relationship(except me). I took the decision and informed to Mr. Saxena. Anurag was very much against the dowry and we also had everything by the grace of God, so we explicitly mentioned to Mr.Saxena that we would not like even a single penny in marriage but the facilitation of our relatives must be respectable.Anurag made promise and bought everything from his pocket.Somehow God was not in side of Mr. Saxena( although a finance officer could not manage his own finance) and so the marriage ceremony became a low profile event. Despite of big words of Mr. Saxena, none of our relatives were honoured as we deemed of but we looked forward to better future as Anurag got married to Divya on 09/02/2002.
Daughter's Marriage: Next year in 2003, Marriage of my daughter Nupur was fixed with Mr. Rohit Berry( Son of Smt. and Sri. Deep Berry). Later on 06/03/2003 we performed her marriage ceremony in Sitapur. Anurag and Divya gave Maruti Car to Nupur as gift from their side. Marriage was a satisfactory affair as I was not alone and well coordinated by my wife,my son and my daughter-in-law.
In 2004, I became the happiest ever as I got my loving grandson Aadi on 22/01/2004 and sooner in 2005 we were again blessed by God as then Nupur gave birth to our sunshine Gauri on 22/06/2005.

As I am tired now so will be continuing my story tomorrow...stay tuned.
