Cleaning!
Long Ago, there lived a zamindar, richest in the village and his
words ruled the village. Since he was the richest, his caste was the uppermost.
He had 10 helpers to keep his house clean. He had OCD.
Kalyani, Shankar,’s daughter. She was not like any other village
girl. She was bold and talkative. Even though she was at 17, she had the
ability to speak for her needs. Shankar was a farmer and owned a land. The
poverty hit them hard in the form of no rain. As a result, living become a
struggle for Shankar and his family. To survive, Shankar ended up taking loan
from zamindar, on his land. Zamindar always had eye on Shankar’s land because in
the entire village, that was only property that was not his. As expected, Shankar
could not clear the loan on time and which in turn to be the advantage of
zamindar. Zamindar forced them to write land on his name! Shankar was helpless
and attempted suicide. He survived through the suicide but not from the
reality. Could not take up from there, Kalyani approached the nearby police
station for help as she could not see her father’s grief.
On the same fateful night, Kalyani was burnt alive after someone
hurt her feminine very badly and breaking her spine. Shankar died one more
time! Hard truth is that, everyone knows who’s dirty hand was behind that. But
nothing could be done. Power & Politics, the cluttered mind of power &
politics.
After writing the story, I asked myself how long I am going to write
the same story. Is not boring? Not only that, it sounds like copyright
of a story that is been written by many writers in a better way and few
directors made a better movie with a great casting. Am I still brooding over
the past and not writing up to today’s standard.?
Well! I am very much aligned with the current living. Living in
2020, using smart phone, digitalization for shopping, food delivery on a click,
typing on laptop etc... but those nightmares are never done. Women empowerment,
become presentation in ppt. Posting status, blogs, articles on newspaper,
people’s strike helped only to an extension to express the state of mind.
Still, the same helpless situation!
Zamindar is still alive. Sounds like Zamindar has taken rebirth
to do the same and Kalyani taken rebirth to become a scapegoat! Or vice versa.
Even if it is vice versa, it is not helping...
Ideally, I am not sure even how to clean the clutter of the
criminal’s mind. Cleaning the clutter of some men’s mind become an impossible
task!
