“Shakkarnagar” !
Now, I am in the “HOME” of my childhood,
The whole of my childhood was spent here !
How I remember those days. !
The whole Neighbour-hood .. houses .. and
The whole Neighbour hood Family !

On one side of My House is “MASJID” ..
even today it is exactly as it was ..
serene, sprawling, Peaceful ..
and the ‘AZANI’ !

A few furlongs away “The Rama Temple”
Every year grand celebrations during Ramanavami
for full NINE DAYS !

Then, there was “CRYSTAL PALACE” Cinema Hall !
“The Nizam Sugar Factory” .. Now, dilapidated..
But, In those days, biggest in ASIA !

“The CLUB HOUSE” where I used to play
Table Tennis and Chess !
“The CLUB GROUNDS” , where We used to Play
“CRICKET” to which I am addicted to
even now !

“The GIRLS PRIMARY SCHOOL” , very near our Home,
where I studied upto 5th !
Nearby BODHAN Town, where in the
Govt. Zilla Parishad High School, I studied until 9th !
