when i went through the narrations of our sister

about the mango-cutting and eating.i recollect

my mother's teachings even at the age of 5 yrs.

there r strict instructions in our family by my

parents none should eat anything without

keeping it in front ofGod's photo and offer it

before eating anything it may be a medicine

or a chocolate or peppermint.this has become

a habbit.when i joined the rly's service at the

age of 18 yrs in a very remote place(almost a

forest)i continue this practice and when i move

with my friends circle,and eat something with

them on that night i used to weep in front of

god and seek his pardon for not keeping it in

front of his photo though i remember him

mentally before eating.it has become a habbit

for all of us (my sisters and brothers) to think

of god before doing any work. the result is

i used to wonder how others r not doing it. but

such discipline i could not enforce to my

children. in my later part of life i do not pay

such a serious attention on others but trying

to look into my inner self. urs skrishnamoorthy
