CAR BREAKDOWN IN THE HIMALAYAS
====================================
Here I am, touring the hills in a 1947 Model Old Ford Car, which was notorious for overheated fuel pumps, and probably too old to be running on the roads anyway.

Here I am, touring the hills in a 1947 Model Old Ford Car, which was notorious for overheated fuel pumps, and probably too old to be running on the roads anyway.
The
inevitable happened. The fuel pump got overheated and the car got stuck
in the middle of the jungle road. Luckily there was no traffic on the
road at the time, as we could afford to stay stranded for a few hours
till the fuel pump cooled down!!
I am standing in the picture with Prem Dev Sharma, an old school friend who took to the career of a Forest Officer, and who was showing me and my brother around the mountains.
My brother is holding his white Fur Cap in his hand, standing close to the open bonnet of the stranded car, and giving directions on how we should tackle the engine problem.
Many years later, When Prem Dev Sharma lay on his death bed from heart failure, he was thinking and speaking intensely of my Father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji, and both us brothers, his school friends.
Prem Dev Sharma often used to say: "I saw your father Shri Bhola Nathji once -- and By God! The sight of that Radiant Face has remained with me all my life!"
Fortunate was he to be carrying His image with himself at the time of his death. It must have taken him to Heaven
