Part-4: August 14,2007 (Contd:) A bitter experience of catlle grazing: As I already said that my primary works at home during my childhood were to help my dad and grandma at home and farms and to study the school courses. In addition to the school courses, I had to read, memorize and recite the stanzas and paragraphs of CHANDI, a Hindu holy book praising the superpower of the Hindu goddess Durga. I remember one really bitter experience of my careless moment of that time.We were in our school holidays and me and my elder brother were assigned to graze cattle in the fields nearby our house. The fields were uncultivated as it was early Jestha. We took our cattle to the fields and left there. There were some cows, goats and buffaloes and the day had a very hot sunshine. In the terraced fields, there were some nurseries to grow the paddy seedlings. One of our buffalo was already very close to one of our neighbours' nursery and it was too late to control it away from the plot. We tried to control it but we were helpless; the animal jumped into the nursery and ran accross it.The animal really enjoyed the water on that super-hot noon but it was really a horrible situation for us ! At evening, my neighbor came and complained about it. My dad was so mad to hear his complain that he thrashed us with a bamboo twig. I got more than my brother because I was stouter physically! I thought that it was sometimes advantageous to be physically weak ! In fact, this idea struck me several times during my childhood as I was stouter and stronger than others in my family and I used to get punishment most of the times. Anyways, those punishments led me towards my better future rather than towards depressions !!!
