Kandan's proud wheels: Mr Kandhan was an all round versatile worker in our farm from our grand fathers time, he was the same age as him and right from his early teens he was with us and he was there even before my father was born and he retired at 89 years due to partial loss of vision in one eye and most part of his life was spent in our farm and this cycle was gifted to him 65 years back by my grandfather, then it was a great prestige to own one, he used to recall that he was famous among all other workers from other farms as he was the only one who owned a bicycle for running errands and he used to proudly tell i work in Village Presidents Periya Thottam...
Now he has retired and he left it one day at our farm telling that he would come back to ride it in all glory as he used to do but till date he hasn't made it...The cycle still awaits its owner in the same place where he left it lastly 7 years back..meanwhile many asked to sell it off as its of no use but we refused, "Word is a word" some decisions cant be made easily as it involves human emotions...
