Wealth may not bring about happiness or peace I was five in 1971. I remember almost everything that my family and many other families had gone through during those nine months. I have asked around. All boys and girls of my age still remember the war and the tribulations associated with it. Many had lost their parents. I was lucky that I didn’t.I carry the memories of our great Liberation War after 50 years, even when, at 55, my short-term memory has started betraying me. But the memories of the war are well composed in my mind.
