~LIVE EXPRIENCES OF THE TARKHAD FAMILY WITH SHRI SAI BABA OF SHIRDI ~

[Guest guest]

Dear readers I am of the opinion that each one of us carries within him/her a

strong desire. My father would remind us that he was also a wealthy man with a

bungalow, a car and a store room filled with all kinds of eatables filled in

China clay pots. Of course at a later stage of his life all this had gone away.

I was his last child. So obviously I carried a strong desire God willing I would

strive to get back that lost wealth in my own way. Of course to own a bungalow

in Mumbai was an impossible task. My wife was also brought up in a bungalow at

Khar. So there was a joint desire to have a bungalow of our own whereby at

least in our old age time could be spent in comfort. Then in the year 1991 we

purchased a N.A plot admeasuring 6 Gunthas (726 Sq. Yards.)

at Vangaon. (Railway station on western railway 100Kms away from Mumbai). I was

able to get a loan from my company and by 1993 we were able to construct our

bungalow at Vangaon. We named it as "VIJYOT". Way back in 1960 when I had

visited Poona, a school friend of mine had shown me a bungalow called "LAKAKI".

It was the bungalow belonging to famous Industrialist, LAxmanrao KAkasaheb

Kirloskar. You will know the secret behind that name by picking up the first

letters from his name i.e. LA—KA—KL We were required to sell our bungalow at

Khar due to financial constraints in the year 1959. On seeing Lakaki, the only

thought that came to my 16 year old mind then that, if ever I build my

bungalow, I would name it as VIJYOT
