Solanki uncle was a teacher uncle in our neighbourhood.Uncle's wife and kid succumbed to an epidemic.Uncle dedicated his life for the poor students.Uncle used to teach English to kids in his school.Uncle never compromised his values.Always uncle followed path of sincerity and simplicity.Uncle just had 3-4 dresses .He lived in that.Uncle never squandered money.Uncle always led a modest life.Uncle had some harsh experirnces in life but uncle never left hope.Uncle always treated we kids equally.Me,Appu and Rahul were always dear to uncle.Uncle called all of us for lunch and we all used to like uncle.Uncle took us to Mani Bhavan and Nehru Planetaurium.In those days Nehru Planetaurium was atreat for kids to see.This was a huge dome shaped structure. And inside this house we saw constellation of stars,sun,moon.This was a huge treat for we kids.The entire galaxy system was also explained to we kids.I dont remember more details but we could see many stars like objects shining in ths ceiling.In morning hours sometimes if uncle did not have sugar at home uncle used to come o our home,we used to stay nearby,uncle used to address my mother as Magal meaning daughter in Malayalam,uncle used to tell in Malayalam,"Leelavathy Magal will you give me some sugar".Sometimes uncle used to come from school in hot afternoons.And we kids were ignorant those days.We used to play sometimes our noises used to disturb uncle.Still uncle never used to scold us harshly.Uncle used to tell these kids are disturbing my sleep.So we again used to go back to our homes.Uncle lived in Barabungalow for so many years.Uncle always used to correct English Question Papers also nicely.The nice thing about uncle is that uncle was from Gujarat,he had simple mode of living at home, still uncle taught English very nicely to kids.Uncle had few utensils,one stove at home and many books to read.His wealth was infact books to say.Staying in one bed room uncle was happy.Uncle took a strong decision he will never remarry again because he loved his wife very much.Uncle's wife also loved him very much.But due to some bad luck such a sad thing happened in his life.He did not want to see another lady is his first wife's place.Then after Appu and Rahul left to new home,new neighbours came near our home.We made new friends now.Then again life went on.Last few years back I got to know from my mother that uncle is suffering from cancer.Sometimes whenever uncle disagreed with management uncle resigned job and went in search of new job.Uncle used to get jobs also easily.Uncle worked in Mumbai all these years leaving his hometown of Gujarat.Uncle used to talk in Hindi,English with all of us.All we neighbours used to like uncle very much.Uncle used to wear specs during paper correction and while reading books.Sometimes whatever happenings happened in school uncle used to tell my mother and father.Uncle used to make sambar and curd at home.We used to relish nicely.Uncle's food used to be very tasty and i used to wait evenings to get nice food cooked by uncle.Uncle used to offer me infact we all we 3 kids were offered.These are only few memories coming to my mind.Rest memories are not coming to my mind my dear friends.

Thank you dear friends
