BHOPAL ( GOLDEN PERIOD ).

After a year in dehradun my father again got transferred to Bhopal the capital of madhya pradesh. Frequent transfer take a heavy toll on children's since it means going to new school,losing out to your friends and going to a unknown place.So we reached bhopal and we went to our house there we all went overjoyed to see that it was a big house consisting of 8 bedrooms, big courtyard and there was a water fountain also inside the courtyard.There was hill on the backside of our house and it was in Arera Colony which is one of the posh area of city.This was in 1973 and myself and brothers got admitted to Rajpushpa school.One thing was very interesting was the name of bus stops like bus stop near our home was called 10 no. and our school was located in 7 no. bus stop.So we started to settle down in new place and also started making friends in our neighbourhood.I was in 5th class.Wheather of city remains normal most of the year.My father's office colleagues were also staying nearby so there used to be gathering on weekends and we used to watch 2-3
movies in a month in cinema hall Rangmahal which was in New market which is the most prestigious market of bhopal.Since my father had a car from office so his friend along with their children used to accompany us.I remember that while going to new market we used to cross two big ponds like river which is called Bada Taal and Chota Taal in hindi.And after watching the movie we used to relish ice-cream.
