Badida Hoovu.......

I have learned a lot from my observations of this wicked world...but lot more to c..... those were days when a young girl in her teenage in a remote place of india dreamed of her future life with her husband.... young women of india had sacrificed a lot they were never allowed to go out in search of freedom, home was their world..... and serving their husband was the world to them....every women had lots of respect for their husband......

She was married at a very early age to a young handsome man as much as i know he used to work in a hotel in chennai at that time, it was during the time of 2nd world war..... and then he remembered of a duty to be completed.... a duty which is considered as divine in the hindhu philosophy serving of the aging parents....the young man knew that all his brothers had gone to various places in search of their lively hood now it was his responsibility to return to his village home "permude" near mangalore and look after their again parents......

They were the jamindar of that village and had lots of lands, the young girl was very happy with the new world but was very scared of the forest around her house....the reality of a real innocent girl and how she matures and graduates to the real world.... she had even seen tiger coming near to her house and even killing their cattles all at the young age....but she was a bold women who graduated very early in her life and decided its her home and she is gonna live there till her death....as india got its independence lots changed and all the lands the family had was slipt and given to poor.....

Life teaches one and everyone a lot...... she graduated to great levels of maturity at a very tender age.... she had to take care of the whole family in a age where in she was suppose to enjoy the life..... lots were very difficult.... she had to take care of the cattels, serve the family... and help her husband in the lands.....

Life kept teaching this young girl a lots.... things were changing fast.... so also her dreams.... she could see everyone enjoying in the cities but considered that it was her duty to be with her husband and serve him till her death..... God was not happy with her scarifies she was overloaded with the responsibility of leaving a life in the forest with no children.... wat a great responsibility.... she cried in the lonely house all alone day after day but no one to her rescue in the lone house..... she tried to forget her sarrowness serving the god.... her day to day work included praising the god for all the "dookha" he has given her in his life......

I first met this great lady at an age of around 15, there was something in her which pulled me inside her.... she was a women of character who knew what she is going to get in life and was ready to face in life..... that time she had told me she just had one wish in life..... she had served all her life to her husband and the god and now she wants to rest in peace before her husband.....

She used to prepare one of the best food i ever had in my life....she was the best cook i know till date she had an amazing characteristic of cooking food from what u have.... she could have prepared food from what ever resources available for the day with minimal effort a great lady..... i was lucky to have tasted her food the remote indian food which is almost in extinct now....

It was my cousine's marriage in udupi i called this lady and told her i am coming to meet her.... she was very happy.... she had found a child in me.... but till date i cry for myself that i was never her child.... but this god had something else in his mind..... within in a day he can change lots..... i visited her next day but to my shock she was admitted to hospital with a sever stoke... she was paralysed and was bed ridden.... she didnot open her eyes i took her hand in my hand and tears rolled over my eyes.... i wished god .... i cant see this pain anymore please end this up.... looks like this time god heard me..... she rested in the eternal peace with in few days..... to be frank i was very happy.... that was end of a great journey of life..... she had lived every moment of life with sarrows but still she fought her battle of life till her end... today i miss her.....

i spoke to her husband today and he is all alone in the village house and he is also missing his wife a lot.... he told me great words.... he told.... he is seeing her in everycorner of the house.... very obvious they began and spent the entire life in that house..... looks like he has lost all the interest in life..... i called him to live with me.... but he told she died here i am gonna wait for my death here.... she was a great soul and lucky women left me all alone ...........
