Mother played a great role in his life. Kunwar Viyogi was very much attached to his mother. Being eldest and mature, he tried to devote considerable time with his mother. He shared with her a special bond. He was perhaps the only one among the siblings who saw her so closely working hard, raising the family, amidst financial hardships. Even as a child Kunwar Viyogi always assured his mother that when he will earn, he would not let her do anything. She will be the queen of the house. One can remember a story of Premchand’ Idgah…. Hamid”s nani gave him TWO PAISE to enjoy in Id fair. Hamid bought a “chimta” for his nani because she used to burn her hand while cooking Roti. For child Hamid , protecting his nani from fire than to enjoy toy. Mother and son ‘s bondage of love-affection- understanding-devotion was the driving force of matured Randhir Singh. As he has a high moral values , of one was KATHANI AND KARNY was same in any situation. After the demise of parents , As head of family , he took the responsibility whole heartedly to look after the siblings as a “Junoon”. And finally he succeeded. This feeling come on and off in his writings and some sonnets like…. MOTHER TO AN INFANT (LULLABY) 244, MOTHER- HOOD 159, Mother’s velvet touch I , Mother’s velvet touch II , Ah! Mama I II III, Father and son , Ah! PAPA I, II,III
