Nara's Ancestory

Pithru Vargam

My father studied and worked at St. Josephs Trichy for 41 years as teacher. 1966-68 as relief teacher after retirement. When he was 60 and he was retired, myself, my elder brother and my two sisters were all studying. My father lived with no insurance plan, and no land property. Eldest sister was only earning as a teacher. Even after retirement, he used to teach and earn. In our culture, people are not evaluated for what they own but how they earned it and use it. The culture that my father inculcated in me, simple and content life is the best. Working at Catholic school and still keeping his tradition and views, “We are good in our own way, others are also good too, so live your life with others”.
