Dharmabandhan: The Shackles of Obligation
Set in the rugged outskirts of Ajmer in an era when societal norms heavily favored patriarchy, this stark narrative delves into the life of Janki, a young woman married off to Rana, a man indifferent to her existence. The union is not born of love or companionship but as repayment for a debt her father could not settle. In a world where women are shadows, unacknowledged and voiceless, Janki's life becomes an endless loop of duties dictated by tradition and obligation. This story paints an unflinching portrait of the grim realities of arranged marriages and gender roles of the time, devoid of heroism, personal growth, or fictional embellishments. It offers a raw, unvarnished glimpse into a bygone society where emotions and individuality were luxuries few could afford.Complete
Why Did You?
"Come back to me. I can't live without you," he said looking into her eyes. "At that time you didn't care, now I don't," she replied. Taking a deep sigh, he spoke, "I love you, Meera. Punish me all you want but don't leave me alone." "I don't love you. In fact the only feeling I have for you is hatred," said Meera. She walked away from him. Men shouldn't cry, they said. But in that moment, he could just cry. He felt helpless. The sky cried with him. As the raindrops fell on his body, he fell down on the ground and muttered, "Don't leave me alone, Meera. I have no one other than you." An old man came to him and kept his hand on his shoulder and asked, "She left you?" He nodded. The man asked again, "For someone else." He shook his head in no. "Then go and win her back," said the old man. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What happens when Meera, a 30 year old dance teacher, comes face to face with her past? What happens when her past is adamant to become her present and future? Read the story to find out....Complete
