Reading these lines one cannot stop from travelling down the memory lanes of childhood. It was not long ago that my father was transferred to a place where there were not good schools. My parents were indecisive about taking me along or to leave me with my uncle. I insisted upon going with them. They were not left with any choice but to take me along with them. 'Raniganj' was a breathtakingly beautiful place. There was a huge palatial bungalow with a massive garden. Since it was close to the wild forests used to find a lot of wondering wild animals in my garden in the morning. What was very surprising was that none of them harmed me. One day, I saw a small deer. The moment I saw it, I decided to rear it. Everybody advised me against it. But, I had taken it as a challenge. Every morning, he would come sauntering down my garden. I used to feed him green leaves and water. In two-three days time, we became good friends. Then, he would stay back in the Verandah at night. How the days flew! I started dreaming of keeping this beautiful creature always with me. Finally, my dream was shattered when after some time, my father was posted back to the city. I had .to leave my beautiful friend in his natural habitat.
