Dark Room

We have gone digital but I got a photograph that was clicked with lenses and developed in the darkroom by using chemicals. My parents have spent at least 2-3 days for getting this. How life is changing? I remember, using this dark room, one of my colleagues Mr. Simple Kumar tried to teach and train many students Art of photography and many other things too. One brave girl approached the Headmaster with a complaint of objectionable training, and then many others followed. Mrs. S tried to defend Mr. Simple Kumar, but it didn't work. He was asked to live in the school. Why she tried and help him? Her husband was also not staying on the campus. He applied elsewhere and then was offered Principal position. Mrs. S was also his student. Let us leave this story. There are darkroom and spot in my story, but I am talking about a photograph which is out from darkroom.  

These people are very close to my heart. There were 6 people in my family, my mother, father, 2 sisters, and 2 brothers. Now, we are 4. My parents are only in memory now. In this photograph, there are 2 brothers sitting on a sma

ll table. Interestingly, both these brothers seen in the picture are opposite to each other. One who is fair looking like my father is my younger brother and I am like my mother just opposite to my younger brother. I am looking weak and thin in this picture and my brother is fat and heavy weight child. We are seen in this picture in front of the quarter. We were staying in F block which is adjacent to D Type and B Type. This photograph is 40 years old black and white. Now things have changed a lot, way the photographs were clicked and printed, the time span for preparing a photograph. With the help of mobile technology, I clicked a photograph and posted it on the facebook page. Things have changed not only at the technology level rather on family relations, emotional and psychological. I wanted to share this with my younger brother; however, I cannot share this to him. We stay separately, our property is divided. I feel jealous, have some ego problems too. Moreover, my wife and his wife, both are having misunderstanding which hampers our relation. In the photograph, two brothers are seen together. Maybe this photograph is clicked before 15th August 1947.
