Deep loved to visit his grandparents' house during his vacations whether summer vacations, puja holidays or Christmas holidays. His grandparents owned a big farm where they were busy in planting and looking after a variety of flowers, fruits and vegetables. The farm produce was totally organic and healthy. They would feel very happy in distributing the produce among family and friends. Deep helped them in their farming either by watering or plucking. In the process he also developed love for organic plantation. So when he returned back after vacations, he brought a few plants which he nurtured cautiously... keeping them outdoor in the sun and periodically bringing those inside and place in well ventilated area. He would feel very happy by watching them growing healthy. It is a scientifically proven fact that plants too respond to melodious music and happy conversation. His growing plants endorsed this fact


Besides indulging in organic farming, Deep's grandparents were fond of travelling. They also looked forward to Deep's periodic visits so that they could plan to travel around taking him along. Every time they would visit a different tourist destination combined with pilgrimage importance as they were very religious persons. Pilgrimage places in any part of the world attracts large number of people from all parts of the world according to the faith they believe and profess. Later he had experienced in his professional life that In spite of huge advancement of technology and scientific development, the people’s faith in their individual deities, community deities or in ultimate supreme power had neither diminished nor destroyed


There are numerous stories attached to the faith healing or miracles happening due to one’s faith. Just like any child, Deep too was fascinated by stories which always revolved around victory of good over bad. Love for listening to stories and imbibing from moral of stories doubled while traveling with grandparents who would explain every detail about the place they would visit. Now the story telling has also become a profession which demands highly expert persons to tell a story to sound convincing enough to have desired effect but for Deep stories narrated by his mother and grandparents as story tellers remained unsurpassed. May be in a profession one puts lots of effort to make it sound perfectly natural but the ability of any professional to make it as convincing as the natural, original way of a mother or grandparents communicating with their child who while narrating the story instills moral values and thus creating the desired impact remains unsurpassed. Those stories leave an everlasting impression on the psyche, personality of the child for all years to come. Those stories become unforgettable. Those narrations often combined certain true episodes with their imaginative fiction would often have happy ending with goodness prevailing over evil. The stories as well as travels with his grandparents had great influence in shaping Deep's life. Invariably In their company, Deep also developed love for travelling including travels to religious places and faith in Supreme Power. He grew up as God-loving person with staunch faith in Supreme Power


Even after attaining higher education and establishing himself as a renowned physician, Deep's keenness to be with his grandparents remained the same. He would keep visiting them whenever he found time in his busy schedule. Every time he would feel rejuvenated and always felt at peace with himself whenever he was in their company. In his heart of hearts he understood the impossibility of their living together permanently. Years ago his parents had decided to live separately from their parents i.e. Deep's grandparents to live a life of their own without any interference from them. Deep's grandparents were totally shattered. Wishing the very best for their children's future, they had given them their blessings. Deep's parents had never stopped Deep from communicating with his grandparents. They would rather encourage him to be with them during his school vacations perhaps to compensate for their own guilt feeling which sometimes pricked them. It had taken quite a few years for Deep's grandparents to reconcile with the situation. They had filled this vaccum constructively by making themselves busy in organic farming and travelling. With advancing years their travels had almost ended but farming continued with usual helping farm hands Every time while living with them and sharing interesting anecdotes, he would feel himself as same innocent and inquisitive child whose loving, caring grandparents were never tired of making him feel the most loved and important person in their lives


Deep fitted grandparents' house with modern gadgets and high speed internet to make them keep pace with the world around with latest technology. Caring for each other and looking after eachother's interest was two-way traffic. Grandparents valuing Deep's attitude to spend time with them, were also very keen to make Deep feel in touch with his professional life also during his stay with them. Hence the presence of all possible aminities of modern world in the farmhouse. They had made him their teacher to teach them basic practical technical tips about laptops, mobiles, internet etc. They always acknowledged Deep's contribution in making them tech savvy and were making the best use of the latest technology to the best of their ability. Sitting far off from them, sometimes lessons was imparted to them online if ever they faced any problem. Knowing their plus and minus points thoroughly, Deep clicked screenshots to make certain points clearer. With complete trust in his way of explaining, they would learn fast and many a times surprise him with something innovative. He would feel very happy to see them laughing and would invariably feel blessed in their happiness


All childhood memories would come back rushing to Deep and gladly he would feel cling to them. Since his childhood, he had seen his grandparents ever grateful to God for His Blessings, never ever complaining about any depressing moments in their lives including the time when his parents had decided to live separately from them. They always took such happenings in their lives as God's Plan for them. Deep also grew up with his firm faith in God's Plan. At times while medical treatment failed to cure some patients, he had seen them bowing before supreme power and leaving their welfare to His Will. He had experienced many such moments in his professional life when inspite of the best medical system available, even highly qualified people with great logics for every action of theirs, never lost faith in Divine System whenever they were in trouble. He too, would feel completely at peace with himself in such system


Many a time Deep would wonder if and only if he could stay back and enjoy calm surroundings where instead of preaching others to behave themselves, people could just be good themselves... if and only if such peaceful system could prevail all around forever, there would be less tension, less depression, less sickness, less hostile attitudes and then kind benevolent society wouldn't be a far fetched dream
