The book is written by my grandmother Mrs Krishna Gupta, and it describes the story of Pipraiya family from the period 1904-2011. The story is about my dad’s “Nanaji” & “Naniji” who were instrumental in bringing up a family, through all odds, to a degree of success, about which all of us can be proud of.
The book was meant for private circulation among the “Pipraiya” family members, primarily to serve as a happy reminder of our past.
As I read and corrected the book I came across many words whose usages are now forgotten. These words give lots of meaning to our expressions. Today we hesitate to use Hindi as a means of expressing our views because we do not have the knowledge of these meaningful words, which were predominantly used in the past.
I am publishing this book for wider circulation as I would like my friends...
