A small boy raises his eyes and woke up. He was sleeping in a sailor ship. The ship was departing in newly formed British port.
But soon he realizes as steped on the British port, his life flipped upside down. You may wonder how I know this story? Because this story is mine.
Let's began this story from beginning.
"I want to be a sailor. I will wonder around world, from different place to place."
Suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Sit down, who can't bring onion and pumpkin properly. But Sir, want to be sailor, wonder the world."
"Maa you never support your child dream. Why? Maa"
Mother while making a delicious meal at the time told me,
"listen, go to the nearest store and bring the sweet of you choice.

After listening to this I was very hyped up, my father is my hero because of him only. I want to be a sailor. And ofcourse he was returning from sail after two month.
He when come from a long journey he bring me a beautiful gift from that place. I sat with him and ask for his story of the journey. It may be his story that fascinated me to a sailor too.

Father was coming...
I ran as fast as I could towards him. As I was near him I shouted "father". Father was amazed by the sound and wandering whose child is standing near me and he was a bit surprised by looking at me.
I said "father! father! how it's been ? "
"who are you child and who is your father ?" father replied
I replied with furiousness and laughter said, "father it's me your son Rajesh bhagat. How could you not recognize me, I.....?"
Father again replied to me in a funny way,
"My son I know who you are, I was just joking. But in the first glance I was unable to recognize you, you have changed a lot . You have all grown up"
I laughed and said, "it has just been, two months and you are ...?"
After the funny interaction me and my father, we both left for our home. As soon we reached near home,I rushed to the door and shouted.
"Maa! Maa! Look Maa, look who had came to see ous."
"Hey..! Shut-up, What's the need to make so much sound. And who had came?"
Then at that very moment, father enters the house and this made the moment. Maa's rude voice suddenly turns soft like jelly. And her angry expression also became polite.
They both stared at each other in eyes. I interrupted them and said,
"Maa, what are you waiting for, let father also be inside the house."
With the politeness that I can't imagine from her, she said,
"Swami, wait a little longer let me complete the ritual of your safe home coming. "
Maa performed the ritual and finish it by applying red chandon on middle of father's forehead. She also took the blessing from the father. This way fathr become worthy to enter the house.
After these event our family was one's again United. We stared talking and talk and talk, after all it was time gap of a whole two month. We were taking a review of father's sails. Mother was taking about the past happening in the past two month in neighbors and society.
