The problem is that there are two times given on the certificate of birth, one the war time then prevailing and the Indian standard time. There is a great deal of trouble trying to reconcile these two into one so that my friend can get on with the casting and reading.<br /><br />About fifteen years ago, my late cousin who was fifteen years older than I was then, one day had come over to my place for tea and casually suggested that we go out for some shopping. He then guided me to the nursing home where I was born and took me inside to introduce me to the staff there and the doctor in attendance who was the son of the doctor who had delivered me! Can you imagine what an outing that turned out to be for me?Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-25961170470167349522013-10-02T23:22:45.684-04:002013-10-02T23:22:45.684-04:00What a lovely story.
