My Friend K.Arvind Singh & CMS Memories

Diary Contd. ........ (1994)

In class 11 th my best friend was Kunwar Arvind Singh.He had just came from his boarding school in Kodaikanal Tamil Nadu and had its imbibed mannerism and accent though he hailed from Shahjahanpur.Inspite of being bad in studies he was lively and amusing.He wore spectacle with suspenders.On my first day at CMS I was escorted to my classroom by Arvind.He along with Nitin helped me to settle down in College.

One day we were gossiping as always when we asked Arvind about his father's business.He said that his father owned a cassette shop in Thakurganj.He then also told us that his father is a Truck-Driver and a jeweler shop owner too.I was astonished that how can a person do three kind of jobs at same time.Arvind then said that his father is a petty smuggler.

Here I would want to mention that his father's name was K Jitendra Singh.His father owned a driving licence from India to Nepal and did smuggling on Nepal border.Drivers were allowed to bring limited amount of things with them and his father used to hide Gold among those things while returning from Nepal.He mentioned also that his father was caught two or three times.Nitin Jaiswal my other friend felt quite amused by this tale and thought he was making it all up.

Arvind Singh then said that smuggling is not the horriblest crime anyways we should hate sin not the sinner.Once my mom & pop visited his uncle's Jewellery shop,his uncle gifted a nice Jute bag to him and was really friendly.
