Reading again made me think of Savitri’s dependence and insecurity and this angered me a little in this day and age of empowerment but then I had to remind myself that this is story for a different time in a village setting. For that period and setting this a very forward thinking liberal story where Neeraj was ready to provide support to Savitri without thinking about himself.

What made the old man behave the way he did? - is it anger at son’s disobedience, hurt ego or family pride. Be that as it may, it has resulted in his losing his other son as well. Hope people learn a lesson ASAP. <br />Thanks for sharing the story sir.<br />Cheersrrghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877672326430767334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048731130587777458.post-17866025781527499792020-03-14T06:28:51.979+05:302020-03-14T06:28:51.979+05:30A good story.

On the other hand Neeraj is a forward thinking and good man. We need more people like Neeraj who will bring about a change in people like his father. People should be more accepting and non- judgemental. Very nice story.Vidyanoreply@blogger.com
