A heart touching story of Gopalkrishna Vishwanath

Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, Started my career drawing a salary. Ended it paying salaries.
There are plenty of other answers.
Here is mine in brief.
Date: Sept 1974
Place: Bokaro Steel plant.
My designation: Graduate Engineer Trainee at MECON Ltd.
Salary : amount Rs 550/- basic, plus Rs 110/- DA, plus Rs 32/- HRA
Total salary Rs 692/- per month.
What I did: Opened a new account in the bank. Got the first cheque book in my life issued. Went straight to the post office. Wrote my first cheque payable to my mother for Rs 100/-with my heart beating fast and furious, as I put my signature on it, and sent it by post without any covering letter to surprise her.
I was unmarried then.
I saw that cheque again in 2006. It was still not encashed. My mother had just died and the funerals and post funeral ceremonies had just been completed. I was clearing out her old papers and I found this cheque. She was so proud of me that she valued that cheque more than the money. Till then I never realised that the cheque had not been encashed but thought that the cheque had been lost during transit since there was no debit entry in my pass book even after several weeks. My mother never told me about the receipt of the cheque and what she had done with it.

Why most Indian women wear white bras?

Why most Indian women wear white bras? cant see many varieties of bras in Indian market like in US. Robert Bellarmine Lopez , lives in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, India Written 5h ago An inner wear which is in constant touch with the body-line should be soothing to the very sensitive skin - free of all chemicals and dye-stuffs. A white inner wear in such case fulfills this requirement. This is the basic reason why an Indian woman goes for a white bra. White is the classic underwear color. The white bra is made from bleached fabric and is free from all dye-stuff. Your sensitive skin could be allergy to the chemical stuff used in the making of a colored bra. If it creates allergy or itching sensation, it would be awkward as it is a very vulnerable area. Also any allergy from a colour bra could affect the breast badly. A bra is to boost the shape of the woman and a support to the breast from sagging. It is a modest covering for the breast. ...
