One evening when I was accompanying my father during his walk his officer by chance met him on the way. Seeing me with my father the officer asked who I was, and without hesitating, having known our family conditions told my father “why not let him join in the office”.
This was the starting point in my life of service for my bread at the age of 16. After a month’s training during which I showed good out-turn the officer was pleased to appoint me as a Draughtsman on Rs. 25/- per month.
