On Einstein's agony of son

Einstein ne saari zindagi ye 'pretend' kerte guzar di ke woh aik khush mizaj insaan hai. Us ne kabhi sare aam apne dukhon ki numaish nahi ki. Einstein ki Zindagi se mujhe aik waqt tha - aqeedat ki had tak muhabbat thi. Jab Apple ne apna video editing software 'iMOvie' nikala to main ne 2 ya 3 documentaries banaii thi. Pehli documentary Einstein ki zindagi per thi 

(-I need to transfer it from CD to youtube/digital media someday to preserve it.) 

Us documentary ke liye main ne Einstein ki zindagi ka bohat qareeb se mutaliya kiya. Yahi shoq mujhe Switzerland ke shahr Bern tak le gaya - Fortunately, it is within walking distance from the main train station.

Very few people know that Einstein spent a long time in the agony of his youngest child, Eduard, aka 'tete,' who was diagnosed with psychosis and schizophrenia. When his family left Europe due to the Nazis, he had no choice but to leave his son back in a mental asylum in Switzerland. He was unable ever to go back and see his son again. His son was an ardent student of Jung and psychiatry. Too much self-analysis made way to the dark alley of psychosis. At one point, he told his father that he hates him. After WW11 was over, Einstein decided to stay away from his son, so he doesn't relapse into his psychosis. Tete died in 1965 due to a stroke.

Woh kehte hain na

Kisi ki aankh agar nam nahi hai

Ye na samjho, us ko gum nahi hai
