The truth is
rightly said to be bitter. I lost relations with one of my friends temporarily
for five years and one of my relations permanently. Relations with one of my
friends got revived after a gap of five

Badi Amma had to go to bed without food and
spend sleepless night for she could not bear humiliation. The other one longed
for death that evaded her for too long.
Some blame
the present time and the present progeny. But my father narrated to me an
incident of early 20th Century when he was in his prime youth. People rushed to
enquire about the commotion in his neighbourhood. Their intervention saved an
old man who was being beaten by his sons. Next day in the morning some of them
were seen in the Zaindar Sahab graveyard getting branches of a mulberry tree.
When asked the purpose, they said:”Bub gav sorgus; vanie chue tumisundhi
khetrea veman bunavuen” (Father left for his heavenly abode. Now we are
making heavenly chariot for him).
Early
seventies, Assadullah, one of my colleagues asked me about my children. I said
that I am father of two daughters. He put his finger under his teeth and
expressed regrets for not having a son. He said that he believed that father of
two sons has light to his two eyes (Dhouen cheshmuen gash). I told him
that in my Mohalla, there is a Pundit ji who has seven sons. They have assigned
one particular day for each to beat him, so that he did not succumb to beating
by all together on a day. Anand Joo had a balanced domestic budget. Each one of
his six sons used to contribute to run the household comfortably. One day he
expressed his anguish to my father. He had regrets for his deficit budget. His
second son Chaman Lal (Name changed) had not paid him as much as he used to
pay. Chaman Lal justified his cut for being at his in-laws for two weeks. Anand
Joo had regrets for he was taken unaware.
But
All is not
dark. Even this time there are Shrawan Kumars around. 28th May, 2012,
to my surprise, retired Session Judge Nazir Ahmmad Kawoos left for his job only
after he tied diaper to his old bed ridden uncle with instructions that he may
feel at ease until his return and he would change his diaper if needed on his
return. Umar Kawoos sought permission from his bedridden uncle of his father
before he left for his job. http://youtu.be/H-TDY-jHKOU

February, 2015 I discovered the most virtuous daughter-in-law in Dolly who
serves her ailing mother-in-law Piary Babi with devotion and sincerity. I was
extremely impressed by her sincerity and her obedience towards her elders. My
eyes got this treat after a pretty long time. Her services to her ailing
mother-in-law are exemplary. She does not let her go to washroom alone. She
feeds her with her own hands. She keeps her in commanding position. She
massages her and ensured her recovery from a paralytic attack much earlier than
the doctor’s commitment. My inner soul blessed her.
