I became familiar with quiet a few faces, My mom, My dada, My grandpa, My grandma, and my elder sis.
It was a very small town in which we use to live, our house was located amongst a grid of almost ten to twelve blocks which comes in to vicinity as one will step outside the front door.
In our town each house has got a name which i never understood. As i had a name Raghu to which i respond with a smile, of course i was tired of laughing.
But how can a house respond to its name, i asked these to my grandpa to which he said, "Raghu, its our house and how will we differentiate it with others, so its just a way to do that".
So that's how our house got a name, its name is Swaminarayn.
Its a name to god to whom we preached each day. I like calling names where i can call people by different names even the street dogs to whom i gave names as there was no one for them.
So everyday i met new people i asked them their names and i introduce myself as Raghu with a smiling gesture.
We use to roam across streets on my dada's scooter (two wheeled vehicle) with a Stepney behind the back seat. I use to seat on the backseat by holding the wheel. I liked to face passing vehicles and i use to wave at them as they pass. Every streets got a name so i started to ask dada about them he told me about them, soon i became familiar to the neighbourhood.
Once i went with my mother to purchase some vegetables, while my mother became busy with the bargaining she lost hold on me. After about half an hour of debate she bought those vegetables with quiet a few penny less, of course it was not about money afterall for her but it was about winning over that vegetable market owner which gave a smile on her face. I was busy with few vegetables of mine green coloured, orange coloured i got distracted and was lost in the mob.
My mom became sad, she tried to look for me but couldn't find and so she went back to home, of which she told the incident to my dada. Instantly my dada started to look out for me and after almost two hours or so, i appeared right infront of main door. Everyone was like shouting at me and my mom. But afterwards they all became happy.
This was me Raghu who liked vegetables dont know much about things but yet aware of how to come home back after being lost.
