Achieving milestones in life without greasing palms remains in our family!

Well after many days of continuous writing I, Mukesh Kumar, feel to get into the mode of writing about my own family since my forefathers or let's say the earlier generations. When a few years back after completing my diploma in Digital marketing I changed my path drastically towards content writing I immediately started getting jobs due to better writing skills and that helped me to gain confidence with trying my wish to complete my Masters in Art from Sociology and my numbers were good enough in terms of final results which I got 56.8%.

This has given a mouth full of jibes to the people who always considered me mediocre before them and I started preparing and continue my studies after the age of 32 years which shows that there is no age for studying and if there is an inbuilt thought of getting into the mode of studies one could get much into the thought process which one could govern at any moment in life.

The same could be said about my father Mr. Upendra Vidyarthi, where he always taught us of all the hardship which he has seen in life and still his name remains in the words of Gold at Bokaro Steel Plant, Jharkhand as he put all his sweat and blood while working and earned praise from his officers. He too has seen much of hard work and dedication in life and his life remains an inspiration for me although his illustrious life was all about governing his own ways where he never took any offenses in his life and lead a life of being very much secure and sincere giving us enough in return with the terms of social security.

The same could be said about Mr. Chitranjan Prasad who was my great grandfather and he was a person working at Employment Exchange as the Bada babu and put all his emphasis to choose the right person for many government organizations and his work could be considered as illustrious as anyone else in terms of nation-building. His career was very illustrious in the sense that he never differentiated between caste, creed, and religion and give them the equal status of thoughts to all including Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and General people. Being a Srivastava which is an Upper caste in the Indian Caste system he still took all the care for the people from lower caste to uplift them and never took to bribe for helping with employment to others. The people who were most near to him from his office were Mr. Karu Ram and many others who use to have tea and snacks at our home and me as a kid used to sit on their laps where various wise discussions about the then status of the country use to get discussed at length.

The next to my father was an elder brother Mr. Rajesh Kumar, who was better  known as Pappu use to have all the fancy lifestyle as he also started working at Bokaro Steel Plant and he looked smart in the way which is akin to tall, dark and handsome and he was taking me to watch various films and circus which use to come at near theatre and circus ground at Bokaro Steel City. His way of life was very carefree and he was the most lovable person in the neighborhood. 

The smallest one is Mr. Rajeev Ranjan Srivastava who was very much fair in skin color and in thoughts as he always tries to build his reputation by earning his own money for studies and got a job at LIC without paying any bribes. He was good at arithmetic and commerce based activities and kept away most of the ugly characters form our life including me and my sister Sweta Srivastava by keeping a watchful eye on our behavior till we did not become an adult.

The other beautiful lady who was the elder bua in our home was Miss Rekha who kept a low profile as she was totally under the sewa thoughts for the husband Mr. Awadesh Kumar Srivastava who was into education department at Bihar Government and he has his own social presence in various secretariat and other big government offices in Bihar and Central Government.

The smallest girl in the house before my sister was Miss Rita Srivastava who is still very beautiful and completed her graduation at a young age and further got married to a person by the name of Mr. Tapeshwar Lal, who was a manager at Gramin Bank in Bihar and he was a simple yet honest person.

The above all character is Mrs Arti Devi, The Great Grandmother who always taught us to be a better human being and her words were very much into the deeper sense of life and she was solely responsible for building my moral character and the authority in me was all because of her sense of uplifting me and my thoughts.

My sister, Sweta Srivastava, who was the only one in my house never use to show too much in terms of studies but she was the best as she took care of any person coming to the home like nephew and niece along with cousins and has a very pure character as well as humble creating her own social presence. She completed her Hotel Management soon after completing her 10+2 Exams from Pusa and took to great heights in life.

My mother Kiran Bala Devi, who remained dutiful towards us throughout our student days in terms of preparing food and other necessary things like school handwork was the pillar of support for the family and was known to separate us from the anti-social elements who could be found anywhere in the society and the block and always use to keep an eye on our ways of thinking and life which helped us to become better human being.

Now, this remained my family tree and the most beautiful of the entry was of my Dog Moti who was a brown color Indian Breed dog who took care of us since childhood days and was the true companion due to which I remain near to the mother nature and also the God who is omnipresent in every soul.

So, if I say that our entire family system where everybody has achieved success on their own never begged for anything and achieving milestones in life without greasing palms remains in our family which is just an example of a shining and illustrious career whereas people from various other walks of life talk either too big for themselves or define to be a one with the tags of officers are still very much hollow from inside which could be seen in their behaviour.

So, one could say that we as a person were always fond of our father and forefather and learned about Duty comes first through their ways of work and thankfully the life building through better molding ways remained in us and we faced all the beautiful circumstances without turning evil in life!
