The Ravan Park

Sitting in the bench near the pool of the park Ramesh looked around. It's green around all green and big big trees are there varieties of flowers have bloomed adding beauty to the place. Birds are Sitting, Singing, Jumping enjoying themselves.

Years back this place was so lonely one big house was there where Cornell Ramprasad Sharma stayed. He served in the military for so many years and took voluntary retirement from job came to his native place settled here.

He had one son and a daughter both were married by the time he returned. Everyone in the house were so scared of Ram prasad his discipline. Nobody can violate the rules which he had set. Morning breakfast time, launch, dinner time all set. If someone is late for any of these three would not get food. All were punctual.

There should not be any noise and he did not like children they make noise. His house was big with big garden treads bushes. Outside children use to play always they would throw their ball in Ram prasads garden and ask for the ball. Sometimes the watch man gave sometimes when Ramprasad saw he scolded them and never gave the ball. Children called the house "Ravan Bangla".

They used to hate Ram as he was never affectionate to them. Every time when he sees children he simply will come, and scold make them run away from his garden. Purposely children would do something and enter his garden and then get chased by Ram. Thus was the regular feature.

One day Boys were playing cricket and the ball crossed the boundary wall entered into Ram passes garden. Children were now in two kinds whether to ask for the ball or not. Finally, a small, cute boy Rohan told everyone I will enter Raven bungalow and get the ball back. He entered all waited outside for long time he never came out. Boys were worried so much. All dirty thoughts came to their mind. They went and told to Rohan's parents. All of them came and entered the bungalow. 

After going few yards, they could hear Rohans's voice. Then some elderlynperson laughing. All were surprised went further in what they saw all could not believe. Rohan was playing with Ram Prasad.

When Ram prasad saw all, he asked all to come and sit. Then he told Than had come to take the ball which hit my head. I was very furious and wanted to hit the boy who had come. When he came inside, I saw and shouted then I started running towards him, but I fell down and there was injury in my head. Rohan was running away when he saw me falling in the ground came running went inside the house asked for detail, cotton bandage applied on my head where I had got hurt. Then he prayed God saying Oh god! Please do not give pain to Ravan bungalow uncle. Make him get well soon.

Hearing this tears came out from my eyes and my pain vanished at one second. All of you sit here he said. Than is my first friend and his friends are my friends too. All from tomorrow onwards please come and play inside I will not restrict. I will not feel lonely.

Children never thought s small incident can change a big person from next day onwards everyday all used to come and play .RAM prasad too sometimes played with them then gradually he became very old and one day he died. Before he passed away dedicated his Ravan bungalow to children and made a huge park. 

 People thought if do many names, but the park became popular as Ravan Park. Children everyday come play and go. There is a statue of Ram prasad too in the garden.
