Like other prominent letter writers, I also read Shree C.B.’s Jivant Panth, regularly. Articles like “Good Health is the prime happiness”, ‘Life without aim’ explain fundamental principles of life, essential for survival. Once, whilst writing about his experiences of Charotar he wrote a famous quote ‘Nadiad (my birth place) Saksharoni Bhumi chhe’ (Land of Learned) was heartening. G.M Tripathi, the author of the epic novel Sarswatichandra was born in Nadiad.
Ramesh Bhai’s mention of Bombay reminded us of our memorable time. Both my husband and I graduated from Bombay University and feel 'Mumbai Meri Jaan' in true sense. Viewing some of the films he mentioned in the electric atmosphere of Opera House or Maratha Mandir was exceptional pleasure. But recollections dear to my heart are parading for N.C.C. with weighty rifle at 8.00 a.m. and joining Shree K.M. Munshi, a great author at 9.30 to recite Geeta’s 12th chapter. The memory I treasured was visiting him at his residence at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan to brief him how well we managed our hostel in the absence of a matron. He showed so much humbleness and respect to two nineteen year old girls. The revised set up of this page looks attractive and reader friendly.
