3163 is the number of the house,
Where I was born.
Seventy six years ago.
My parents left me under
The care of my maternal grandpa,
And he was a thorough disciplinarian.
He had a nice handwriting and was a
Man of high principles and simple living.
He was six feet and six inches tall,
A very hefty figure,
We were very much afraid of him too.
His punishment was so hard that even
At times I wished for his death.
When death snatched him,
I became a loser.
For he had so much love and affection
For us and corrected us only when
We were wrong in our behaviour
or according to his high standards.
