My father was working in neibouring State and being the eldest child, my father was worried where to put me in the regional school being not available in the state. So he decided to put me with my uncle approxemately 300 Kms away. Being only 6 years of age and has not stayed away till then. However I was put in the school since he was a teacher. After staying for few months and rembering my parents I got Typhoid and was decided to take back to where my father was. They then decided to put me in the state where he was working inspite of no school teaching in mothertounge. This also decided where my brother and sisters will also study.

After 2 years in KG school and 10 years in school, which completes primary and secondary schooling. After that I was to go to college for 200 Kms away for my college education and had to stay in Hostel attached to the college and also have Mess facility. The selection of College and place was easy since many of our freinds were already studying there.

After 2 years I wanted to go for Engineering. Being at that time there was problem going on of division of states. So I had to to go to my home state for Engineering. This place was very near to my home town and had several relatives and can go in week ends. Due to this I along with several friends used to go to my native place on and off. This way we completed 3 years for Mechanical Engineering and another one year for Electrical Engineering.

Subsequently along with some affordable freinds who were going to USA for higher studies few of us also started thinking as to how we can plan to also go to USA. In bitween I took up a job in Electric Power House. With the advice of a freind who have already gone to USA I started talking to my father as to we can borrow the money so that I can go to USA We borrowed money from my relative, and freind of my father.with a condition that I return the money and return back home after completing my education.

Because of lack of funds, it was decided to travel by Ship since the plane travel was expensive. This involved going Boat to London and another Ship to New York. and subseqently by Bus to the College Town.

.I was lucky to get a job in the American Company who was starting a Plant to manufacture Machine Tools and Auto Components, upon my return. My return Air fair was paid by the Company which reduced my burdon.
