---as I said before, my friend Meena and I use to talk about boys but neither of us had courage to get involved with any body at any time. It was our culture and family teachings which always reminded us that we need to pay more attention to our studies than anything else. By now I was getting interested in my studies also and finally passed my undergraduate programme very successfully. I wanted to do graduate studies as my sister did so i started my Masters degree courses in Zoology. It was a good programme but it changed my life . Some times, things happen for the reason and we have no control over the events. One day, I was on my way to college. I was going with my normal speed ( on my bike) thinking about some thing serious.Three boys, who were my seniors( I learned that afterwards) were coming the same way, probably going to class also. Some how I turned to one side or one of them hit me on the side of my bike,some thing happened and I had to stop. I got off of my bike. All my books fell on the road and I got a bit upset. All three of them stoped and one of them (a Maharashrtian boy)helped me to collect all my bookes. After some sorry and thank you, they left and I went to classes. After few days we met at different occasions and we got very well acquented. All three of them were taking interest in two of my friends and I. It became a big thing during those days, like three seniors class boys kind of dating three junior class girls in the same department at during the same year. Time flies when you have other attractions and the boys finished their exams and had to leave the university. We girls were working towards our final year and seeing ouf boy friends at the same time.
Let me make it very clear that this was the year of 1962-1964 and dating had very different meaning at that time speceally in India.

Marriage----
--- I had real hard time convincing my family and when things were cooling down and talks about wedding etc were started, I did not want to disturb them in any case. when I talked to my would be and he convinced me that he has no more any relations with the other girll I did not push it any further and tried to calm down my nerves as I had to think about my final exams and all. I already wasted lot of time and mental peace in all this love/marriage stuff. I finished my exams and was not very happy as I could have done better. I passed with good total points but in those days there was cut off point for passing class like first class and second class etc.My total was just a couple of points shy of first class and that was very upsetting.
I did not apply for college teaching positions as my would be was already a high scool teacher. I preffered a science teacher's job in the high school, We got married in september and started our new life----continued

In the college
--- now after getting used to my college life, I started little bit serious about my studies and a bit worried that if I fail in my studies, people will critisize my sister. She was a professor in our college and that too in the science department. This was the age when my friend and I would talk about different boys and liked some and disliked some etc. I was not much interested in any particular boy any way.
