Lord OF Men
Lord of men - the horizon of ignorance
With the arrival of the morning, Shyama Dulal has risen carrying the old pain. Fifty years old and a little taller. Shyama, who is married to Purnima, 20, at the age of 35, has two daughters and a son. He came to Jhapa from Panchthar twelve years ago. He is currently living on his own ten katthas of land in Jhapa on Wednesday.
However, ordinary educated couples are the main characters in this story. Shyam got out of bed in Pune even after the fire was extinguished. The field had to be plowed. The black cow was given grass. The sun was completely visible in the sky. The eldest daughter came from inside the house and Verni father, you are the only one to do all the housework, what is the mother's job? '
Shyama said slowly, gossip To do When I go to plow after drinking tea, then I get up, my daughter cooks rice, my mother eats and then the women of the village gather and talk. Shyame goes to plow with oxen. Then Purnima got out of bed. He looked out of the room and said. The old man did. He must have won. ' Purnima came out of the house and washed her face. He shouted to his daughter, "Daughter, did your father go out for tea?" Not to bring a wife. Again, what is your father's hut? It's not the same plow. Look at others, how much money men will earn but your father can't do anything for his wife. " The daughter said, "Mother, you are not ashamed to say this to your father. What people say. "Purnima said angrily, "Shut up, you will understand later when you meet a man who can't do anything like your father." If the husband is weak and does not have the courage, how difficult it will be to live as his wife. ”
The daughter stayed with Toho. After eating, Purnima went to her neighbour's house. Even today, the women of the village gather as usual. The topics to be discussed in such a gathering are presented from within the woman. The practice of cutting things off is old in Nepali society. There are followers of the same tradition today. Purnima laughed and said, "You know, that foreign jasmine is the wife of Birkhe." I can't say for sure. " Purnima draws the attention of women. "Yes, I heard it," said Akri. But, her husband also thought of Hutihara Jasmine. He also sold his jewelry to go to Malaysia.
The land was also given to Sahu. After her husband spends money on alcohol and cards, she gets up somewhere. ” Purnima said, "Yes, it is like jasmine, but if my husband was like that, I would have known." Akri said, "What do you mean by that, but listen to what the old man will buy this time?" One of them said, “My brother sent ten thousand rupees from Malaysia to get my sister chained. That's all I have. "I bought a heavy sari, you have to give it to the baby too," said Purnima after everyone's turn. Something went wrong. "Everyone looked at the full moon. He was suddenly startled by himself. I felt small in the company of others. This haunted the full moon all day long. Shyama can't give even a sari to his wife in Teej. He is considered as inferior among the women. Exhausted by work all day in the dark evening . Arrives home The full moon is full of anger. The sons and daughters were silent. Shyam said, "It's time to eat rice." The same goes into the mouth. "Shyame was shocked. It's not that he didn't work. Grain doesn't grow without plowing the field. Money in the mouth is grain, not grain. You don't even have to put your hands together. He can't do anything bigger than that. In Purnima's anger, it added fuel to the fire. I can't come. ”
The children were silent as they entered the house crying on the full moon. She left the room for fear of being abused by her mother, but this time she did not even dare to say a word. She never looked for a way to make money in the past. However, the present situation has become a sad moment for him. He seemed to be the only anti-Lord in the world. Because, the lord-man of the full moon was Shyam, who has the courage to earn a living. But, Purni is living on the same Shyama's earnings. From the point of view of the society, she is the same black woman, no.
On the downside, society doesn't even try to give a sari to Teej for the full moon. Even though it is a hut, it is the Lord's abode. A small and beautiful paradise. Purni slowly got out of bed. There were tears of guilt on his face rather than signs of rebellion. She slowly came to the door and looked at Shyama. That condition of Prabhuji has now become a matter of concern for Purnima.
