    In my childhood ,mid 1960 s when we were at Rajpura ( Punjab ) , the daily routine of the residents of Rajpura was guided by the " ghughoo " ( Factory's Sirens ) of the "Dhaga Mill " ( Yarn Mill ) of the then blue chip Bharat Commerce And Industries Limited .

    Today the " Dhaga Mill " of Rajpura is history.
