The story of Varsha and Triloki started in a 3rd class unreserved coach of the Indian Railways on the 6th of March 1967, that was when they met for the first time. It was a chance meeting and that too a very brief one, but the future (some people like to call it destiny) had something else in store for them.
Varsha was studying in the Ranchi Women's College in BA (Pol Sc) and Triloki was a budding engineer, studying in the Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, in the Mechanical Engineering branch.
A lot of water has flown in the Ganges since that fateful day. We married in October 1970, had a lovely boy in May 1972, followed by a charming baby girl in December 1974 ..... the moving finger moved on... and now we are grandparents. Varsha joined the State Bank of India as a probationer & Triloki, an engineer, started his career as a Management Trainee with HAL. Time does not stand still and also takes it toll. We have lived through the ups and downs and have lead a full life - but no acheivements that would shape or affect history of this vast nation; yes we have definitely shaped the history of our near and dear ones and try to spread a bit of happiness to those around us.
