Time can never erase sweet memories. While we age as the years roll on, the memories of beloved people, places and precious experiences remain fresh, enthralling our hearts and minds, with each dear reminiscence. From time to time, cherished memories give rise to deep yearnings to relive the past, impossible though it may be. Yet, they keep springing forth as a fountain of unmistakable warmth radiating with hope and joy. In this account of his childhood, Gobi fondly recalls events and experiences of growing up in a rubber plantation. Born into a large family, with his parents working as rubber tappers, his early days were marked by poverty. Yet, in an unassuming way, he learned to enjoy and savour every single one of those days. Simplicity and gratitude coloured the lenses through which he viewed his world then. And he is no different today.
