The wisest men of our village had no cures of any goodness. Oh how we would try to make ourselves better! Then my mother said "I know a very good doctor to help you, Palith." For the next two years every three times a week I visited the doctor in Kanpur until the allergies did flee from my body. Oh how my feet blistered on my way to the doctor! But those were happy times. Things changed in my whole life. I became a man. I was no longer a boy. My mother said to me: "Palith, you have become a grown man. I am so very proud." But since then my mother has died, my allergies have gone, and I have stopped seeing the psychiatrist. I no longer have blisters since I do not visit the doctor any longer, but I do get pains in my feet that force me to wear shoes with very very thick soles, and drive a Camaro.
