CHAPTER - 1
OLDEN DAYS:
Introduction:
Those days were different.
Its way back during 1975.
The days were so hard and one cannot maintain family with the meager salary paid by Banking Managements or Government establishments or Private Companies.
It was only a namesake jobs.
It’s just to eat and live.
Double salary is essential in those days to get on with a family responsibility.
Most people used to marry job holders.
Love affairs were common in those days.
Though population was so thin, the cost of living index was very low, the rates were so little, most of families used to borrow loans from private money lenders for huge interests.
Mostly, in those days, combined families used to stay at one place that too in small rented hours.
People and families used to throng Hyderabad city for settling purpose, as there were few opportunities for pursuing education or few opportunities for job seekers.
But, those people who are still alive these days used to tell that those golden days were good and people were happy in all aspects.
Moreover, people were too healthy, active and can say innocents also.
Such days won’t come back again these days.
One would say, that those day’s commodities, vegetables, milk for any other food items and preparation of food were very pure, original and there were no health problems confronted by families as like in these days.
These days, one can 100 percent say that everything is adulterated and duplicated and each item is available in 1st grade, 2nd grade and 3rd grade
