Last Sunday, we shifted our
residence to a new Government colony. This colony is inhibited by the employees
of the Government. They belong to various departments and ministries. But my
next door neighbors are really very fine. One is a Police inspector. He has a
small family. His son is a college student. He is a very intelligent boy. He
often tells me very interesting stories. The police inspector is also very
gentle. His habits and temperaments are very fine, He considers himself to be
the custodian of law and order. He never misuses his powers but always helps
others. His wife is a lady of religious bent of mind. She is a God-fearing
lady. She also extends to us deep co-operation.
The quarter in front of ours
belongs to a Principal of a school. He is an old man of 55 and is thoroughly
gentleman. His behavior is very nice. He helps the deserving students by admitting
them in his school. He gives fee concession to the needy and poor people. He
has a medium sized family of two sons and a daughter. They are of helping
nature. His daughter is my class-fellow. We go to school together. The
Principal loves me very much. Sometimes he gives us very interesting lectures.
It is a well-educated family.
The family that lives at the back
of our house is a middle class family. But the members of the family are really
very disgusting. They do not possess the decorum of a civilized people. The
head of the family is an Assistant in Central Government. His behavior is rude.
He has quarreled with many people over trifles. His children are very naughty.
They beat other tiny children. Their mother is also a terrible lady. She often
scolds her children. She being an uneducated lady always creates hell in her
house. Everyone in the locality is afraid of her. Most of the people do not have
speaking terms with this family.
But a majority of my neighbors are
my friends, they are social and of helping nature. I pass my time easily in
their company. Neighbors are sometimes helpful than one’s relatives. We would
always create a climate of friendship among our neighbors. Thus, I am lucky
enough in having good neighbors.
