Recalling just one scene memory has imprint of my getting down from Allahabad--Katiihar at Aurihad Junction with a small tin box and shoulder hung tiffin bag jhola I must have boarded the waiting Aurihad–JaunpurJn Train which must have dropped  me at Dobhi Railway Station and therefrom I must have reached my village Hariharpur-3kms away negotiating my way through Mango orchards and vegetable cultivation fields .
A glaring fact remains inexplicable, that is , how at  that tender age my parents allowed me to travel  on my own or how could I persuade them to allow me on this adventure  .
Anyway, memory recalls and records only  getting down from.one train to board another one to to take me to my native village
