from Eight Years in Paris

When can one feel one has lived one's life to the full? It is when Gods give you the chance to prove others wrong! I used to have an school friend, who used to accompany me to a high school about 5 kilometres aways from home & had no money even to pay for the 10 paisa bus fare plying through my village & my school friend was rather well built and much taller than my 4foot four inch height & 45 pounds body weight & he used to tell me that I might not even get to an age of 21 & could perish even then & when I said even fish can fly to heaven , he used to mock me & tell me that you are not even a fish! When I met this school friends about 50 years later & explained how I had a french government merit scholarship for doctoral studies in France & had been a professor in a reputed medical college & even as the first indian chairman ever & how I was author of more than 100 research publications in international journals & had been invited speaker in more than 10 international scientific conferences & was even visiting professor for a short period in the reputed New York University Medical Centre etc, etc my school friend who had retired as a clerk in a government department then , blushed & patted on my back&said, "you made me eat my words & i feel small too " & that was when I felt I had made it, My autobiographic musings ,"anchor.fm/dockumar" detailing my life& travel as a research scientist is meant to prove that even fish can fly if they have the fire in the belly to do so! Yes, Miracles happen& my life is proof of that fact too, Yes I must thank my enemies&critics for making me what I am ! Best Wishes to All
