According to Mum she used to make cow dung cakes on the sly as she wasn't allowed to do so. Also she wanted to go to the well with others to bring water and she used to break earthen pot everyday so bapu ji bought her a brass pot to do so. She stayed with them, while rest of the family went back after world war 2 was over. I seems Bapu ji took retirement secretly ,didn't tell his wife and came back to India around 1940 or 41 because of world war II , he was scared tahat the japanese would come and take over the country. Only Bhapa ji, and Joga chacha ji satyed behind. recently when Joga Uncle came to India he told us, that they used to hide in a school nearby and he was fascinated by some poster paintings there and how he stole and hid them .Mum was sent back around 1947 back to Malaysia with friends beacuase of partition.
