Question

The Second World War broke out in 1939, when I was eight years old. For reasons
I have never been able to understand, a sudden demand for tamarind seeds erupted in the
market. I used to collect the seeds and sell them to a provision shop on Mosque Street. A
day's collection would fetch me the princely sum of one anna. My brother -in-law Jallaluddin
would tell me stories about the War which I would later attempt to trace in the headlines in
Dinamani. Our area, being isolated, was completely unaffected by the War. But soon India
was forced to join the Allied Forces and something like a state of emergency was declared.
The first casualty came in the form of the suspension of the train halt at Rameswaram station.
The newspapers now had to be bundled and thrown out from the moving train on the
Rameswaram Road between Rameswaram and Dhanuskodi. That forced my cousin Samsuddin,
who distributed newspapers in Rameswaram, to look for a helping hand to catch the bundles
and, as if naturally, I filled the slot. Samsuddin helped me earn my first wages. Half a century
later, I can still feel the surge of pride in earning my own money for the first time.
