STRUGGLE

Sanjay and Shobha were now in control of their respective horses and so they were riding it with pace racing with each other. Kaminibai was watching all this and was smiling looking at the childish nature of her grown children. Sanjay and Shobha went too far ahead racing and could not be seen. Suddenly, “AAI…” Sanjay shouted. Everyone got panic and went in the direction of the sound. They reached the spot and were happy to see both of them were safe, “WHY DID YOU SHOUTED AS IF YOU WERE IN TROUBLE YOU DUMB?” asked Kaminibai to Sanjay to this Shobha laughed, “SORRY, SEE THERE IS A HUT OF A SAADHU. ITS BIG ISN’T IT? I THINK WE SHOULD ASK THEM FOR A NIGHT STAY AND HAVE A YUMMY SAATVIK FOOD.” said Sanjay. Kaminibai gave a nod in positive and everyone headed to their hut.

Sanjay knocked the door before entering, even if the door was open. There came a Saadhu with a smile, “PLEASE COME IN. HAVE A SEAT.” Everyone they followed him. They tied their horses and sat on mat which was right in front of the house. They were then asked to wash their legs first and so they did, after washing they were given jaagery to eat and water. Everyone were so happy by the way they were treated, they were just praising them. They then asked them to have a seat. Then came the head of the Saadhus and said, “GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, MY NAME IS DAKSHA AND I AM THE HEAD OF THE SAADHUS HERE. HOW MAY I HELP YOU?” “WE ARE GAURA’S, AND WE HAPPEN TO LOST OUR WAY TO THE CITY. THESE AADIVASI’S ARE HERE TO HELP US FIND OUR WAY. BUT NOW ITS BECOMING DARK AND WE SAW YOUR HUGE HUT AND WANTED TO ASK YOU FOR A FAVOUR, THAT WILL YOU PLEASE ALLOW US TO STAY HERE FOR THE NIGHT, WE WON’T DISTURB YOU AT ALL AND WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN FOOD. JUST GIVE US SOME MATS TO SLEEP AND WE WILL LEAVE TOMORROW MORNING.” said Kaminibai. “YOU ALL ARE WELCOMED AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU PEOPLE TO MAKE ANY FOOD AS WE ALREADY HAVE DONE THAT. WE TOO HAVE MANY SAADHU STUDENTS WHO RESIDE HERE AND SO THE FOOD IS MADE IN AMPLE. SO DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE FOOD. WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MATS.” Kaminibai smiled and did a Namastey as a thanking gesture to which Daksha replied the same. Kaminibai was thinking how lucky she is to meet such people in her life. She was thankfull to God. Then saw at Sanjay and Shobha. Both of them went to Saadhu and asked for more jaggery, he smiled and gave them. Kaminibai nodded and was thinking to take their class later at night. But as soon as they took the jaggery Shobha returned happily, but Sanjay was in a suspicious mood. Looking at the jaggery and also here and there thinking about something. Kaminibai was curious and went to her son and said, “WHAT HAPPENED MY BOY? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?” “THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS AAI, I FELT RELAXED, MY BODY TEMPERATURE WAS STABLE. DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY GREETED US. I MEAN WHO IN THE NAME OF GOD CAN BE SO GOOD. I SMELL A TRAP AAI.” Said Sanjay. “WELCOMING WITH A JAGGERY AND WATER IS OUR CULTURE. REASON BEING THE SAME WHAT YOU FELT AFTER HAVING IT. NEXT THING, NEVER EVER JUDGE ANYONE BY THE GESTURES. THEY COULD BE FALSE THEY COULD BE TRUE, WHATSOEVER GO WITH IT. YOU CANNOT STAY SUSPICIOUS TILL THE TIME YOU GET SATISFIED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TO BE BELIEVED.  FACE YOUR TROUBLE WHEN IT COMES. DON’T THINK BEFORE AND MAKE ONE. IS THAT CLEAR TO YOU. GROW UP AND ENJOY WITH TIME. IF YOU CAN’T THINK GOOD, DON’T THINK BAD. FLOW WITH TIME. THERE IS NOTHING BIGGER THAN TIME.”said Kaminibai and went away. Sanjay stood there with jaggery in his hand thinking what his mom said.

Later at night they had a nice dinner and were pleased with the food. It was tasty. Sweet at the end to finish the dinner in a royal manner. The Saadhus then had their dinner after the Gaura’s and the company. The Gaura’s then together sat in a room where there was a big SHIVLINGA. It was so soothing that all three of them were feeling relaxed. It was so silent that they could hear the sound of grasshopper only and no one else. Then came Daksha and sat behind them. All of them got up as they saw Daksha sitting. They did a Namastey. He told them to sit. “ IT WAS A LONG JOURNEY RIGHT? COMING HERE WAS NOT EASY I COULD SEE.” Signaling it to the wounds they had due to their fight with Manthra and family. “BUT I KNEW, YOU ALL WILL MAKE IT.” The Gaura’s were confused as to how he knows that we were going to visit him.  “YOU ARE SHOCKED! I COULD SEE THAT. THINKING HOW DID I KNOW THAT YOU GAURA’S ARE GOING TO VISIT ME. ITS ALL WRITTEN MY CHILD. ITS ALL WRITTEN. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS, HOW TO READ. TODAY I CAME IN HERE TO VISIT YOU PEOPLE JUST TO TELL YOU WHAT’S THE IMPORTANT THING YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE THS HUT. IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU, OR YOU MIGHT FEEL WHAT I AM TELLING IS WORTHLESS. BUT AS I SAID I HAVE TO DO IT.”  Sanjay was slowly heading his hand towards knife as he started his philosophical talks. “DON’T WORRY SANJAY I AM NOT HERE TO KILL YOU, OR ANY ONE OF YOU. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR FUTURE. I KNOW THAT YOU PEOPLE WON’T BELIEVE ME BUT GOD WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY AND YOU WILL THEN REALISE THAT WHATEVER I SAID WAS TRUE. TO BE STRAIGHT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER YOU DID TO ABANDON YOUR HOUSE AND GOING TO YOUR HUSBAND WAS A GOOD DECISION. I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO NOT GO BACK TO THAT HOUSE AGAIN UNTILL YOU SANJAY, UNTILL YOU DON’T GET MARRIED. SHOBHA IS GOING TO GET MARRIED SOON BUT THE BOY SHE WILL BE MARRIED TO WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING AND YET YOU KAMINI, YOU AND SHANTARAM WILL BE MARRYING HER TO THAT BOY. I DON’T KNOW, BUT FROM SOME PRESSURE YOU WILL DO IT. I TOLD SANJAY NOT TO ENTER THAT HOUSE AGAIN BECAUSE YOUR PARTNER IS GOING TO BE WATER TO YOU. YOU ARE FIRE, YOUR WIFE WILL BE WATER. THE BEST GIFT EVER TO BE GIVEN TO YOU WILL BE THE AIR COMING OUT OF YOU BOTH. YOU CARRY A BOY WHO WILL BE THE MOST UNSTABLE PERSONALITY IN HIS INITIAL STAGE. HIS ANGER WILL HAVE NO MATCH, HIS POWER WILL MOSTLY DEPEND ON HIS OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE. HE WON’T BE THE ONE TO BE SEEN AS COURAGEOUS, BUT HE WILL BE QUICK AND WITTY. HE WILL BE THE ONE TO BE A SPLIT PERSON AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW WHO HE REALLY IS. HE WILL SHOW HIS POWER TO MAKE EVERYONE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE THE ONE TO GO AGAINST ALL THE ODDS. YOU CARRY A GREATER VERSION OF YOURSELF. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH MAHADEO BUT YOUR WIFE WILL BE A VISHNU BHAKTA AND YOUR UNION IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAURA’S. HE IS GOING TO RELEASE THEM FROM THE BAD STRUCTURE WHICH WILL BE FORMED BY YOUR UNCLES SANJAY. HE WILL BE NAUGHTY IN HIS OWN WAY. AS HE WILL GROW YOU WILL SEE HIM GETTING STRONG BUT HIS ANGER WILL BE SO LESS THAT YOU WON’T EVEN COME TO KNOW WHEN WILL HE BE ANGRY. HIS POWERS TO HIDE HIS EMOTIONS, READ FACES, MIND, VOICE WILL BE GROWING AS HE AGES AND HIS SENSING OF THE SURROUNDING WILL BE MUCH MORE GREATER THAN ANYONE YOU KNOW. ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILD UNTILL 18 HAS TO BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL THE THINGS WHICH MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEM, LIKE FAME AND CROWD. HE WILL ALSO CAUSE A YOU TO BE ANGRY BY HIS BEHAVIOUR AND WILL ALSO MANIPULATE HIS MOM TO BE ON HIS SIDE AS AIR SUPPORTS BURNING AND A TARNADO WILL DRIVE TH WAVES. HE WILL B….” “ENOUGH!!!!” said Sanjay. “SANJAY.” Shouted Kaminibai, “SAY SORRY TO HIM AND DON’T EVER DO IT AGAIN.” “HE IS TALKING RUBBISH, HE IS TRYING TO MAKE ME GO IN A PROUD STATE SO THAT I COULD START IMAGINING AND HE WILL MAKE HIS MOVE. (Looking towards Daksh) I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU THINK. I DON’T IMAGINE, I BE PRACTICAL. AND WE DON’T BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING SAID BY A SAADHU. SO DO NOT MANIPULATE US.” and both Sanjay and Shobha left in anger. “REALLY SORRY GURUJI, YOU SAID IT RIGHT, HE IS FIRE, I KNOW THAT. BUT I ALSO DON’T FIND ANY LOGIC BEHIND THIS. WHY WOULD WE MARRY HER TO A BOY WHO HAS NOTHING? ITS TIME TO SLEEP. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS.” Said Kaminibai and she left. Next morning they all got up early and were on the gates. Sanjay and Shobha already left, they were accompanied by some aadivasis. Kaminibai stood at the gate, “THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING GURUJI. THERE COULD BE NOTHING MORE THAN THIS FOR US IN THIS JUNGLE. THE WAY YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS TREATED US WAS ROYAL, WE DON’T KNOW WE DESERVE IT OR NOT BUT YOU DID THAT. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THAT THE WORLD IS STILL A BETTER PLACE.” “ATITHI DEVO BHAVA” said Daksha and did a Namastey. Kaminibai did the same sat on her horse and left. Daksha stood there smiling.

STORY SO FAR...IDEALLY NAUGHTY

PREVIOUSLY ON

IDEALLY NAUGHTY

• ·         Birds are singing, trees are swaying with winds, it’s a silent morning on the roads of Gaurawadi
• ·         Bhavani temple situated in the centre of the village
• ·         The head of this village Mr. Ramchandra Gaura was a child of then Mukhya of this village who had a great ruling sense.
• ·         The Mukhya was a devotee of Goddess Bhavani, he had more people to handle than now and was always ready to face anyone. He too was a great person by heart, but his brothers were jealous of his popularity and success. They betrayed him and allowed enemies to get inside of his village somehow and it was a disastrous fight. Ramchandra was the hero of that fight and had won the battle killing his uncles and the enemies as well. Though he won that battle, the Mukhya was so badly injured that he died. While dying Mukhya said to Ramchandra to take over the responsibility of this village and also said a secret of the blessing he had from the Bhavani Mata(mother). He said " If anytime this village will face an impossible problem, there will always be a Tiger to save us from it. He is none other than the Vahan(vehicle) of our Bhavani Mata."
• ·         Ramchandra had 4 sons and 1 daughter, all sons were irresponsible except for the 3rd one named Shantaram. Shantaram was a very smart boy, smart in studies and good with sword in a time where fighting skills weren't needed.
• ·         As Ramchandra was a devotee of Bhavani Mata, she gave him a locket with the nail of her tiger. Yes, it was the Waaghnakh(Nail of Tiger) to Ramchandra and told him to let this locket decide your village's new leader. Everyone was happy and it was finally decided that Shantaram would be the one to lead this village.
• ·         Shantaram got married to a girl 10 years younger than him. She was an average looking girl with a heart of gold.
• ·         One day Shantaram heard that there was a military selection camp in one of the neighboring village. Now this was an amazing opportunity for him to put forth his brothers and get them employed. All were angry on Shantaram yet with due respect for their father, they apologized and also agreed that they would go to the selection process.
• ·         Two of them returned on the third day itself, they failed. So Shantaram declared in front of everyone that he is not going to take their responsibility anymore and that they should go on to look up for their own living, to which the brothers got worried.
• ·         Some months passed and soon Kaminibai delivered a baby girl and named her Shobha. She was healthy and was pretty, looking like her father. Everyone was happy in the village and had a feast for this. At the end of the feast Shantaram gave a blow to the villagers by telling them that he is going to shift to a new city and that they should elect a new Mukhya.
• ·         Shantaram will stay to be the Mukhya of this village even if he doesn’t stay in this village  said the villagers. This decision made Shantaram shocked and his brothers even more jealous.
• ·         The cart started to move and soon Shantaram was out of sight.
• ·         “Here, we reached.” said Shantaram to his wife Kaminibai and her daughter Shobha, giving them a hand to get down from the cart.
• ·         He opened the door, moved his hand towards Kaminibai and taking her hand in his hand he said, “Forget the past and lets start our new life.”
• ·         She was screaming, screaming as if her bones are cracking all at once. “It’s a BOY.”
• ·         On the name keeping ceremony roar of the Tiger was heard all of them shouted in unison, “AAI JAGADAMBECHA UDO UDO, HAR HAR MAHADEO.”
• ·         He was running hard, hard as he could “BABA .”
• ·         It was a cheetah who was chasing its prey and found a much bigger prey than before. Both of them were looking into each other’s eyes as to predict what will be the next move. He did that what she expected, cheetah did his move, he jumped on her  as if it was his own meat territory but Kaminibai was all ready for this as she went down on her knees bent herself down from the back in the direction of his jump and inserted her knife accurately into his chest.
• ·         “ We are leaving by tomorrow.” Said Kaminibai “No” said the Elder BIL “ This is not fair.” She said to this the younger BIL slapped her. This was the worst he could do to make Sanjay angry enough that he went near him and started to beat the shit out of his uncle. Everyone was trying to stop Sanjay but they did not succeed, he kept on hitting him as if it was the fight for survival. Uncle started to run away but Sanjay managed to stop him in the center of the village and he was hammering his own uncle in front of everyone with the series of abusive words. No one had the guts to stop Sanjay such was his anger.
• ·         It was one dense forest, quietly walking with his face down with Shobha and Kaminibai following him, Sanjay did not stop. Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw that hut. “Is there anyone inside.?” They entered the hut and the door behind them got close automatically and locked. It was a rod coming from the dark right on their heads, BANG!!!
• ·         “Hello everyone, my name is Manthra” with an axe in hand covered with fresh blood with typical dhoti. After many attempts he finally got hold of the knife and cut open his knot. He soon ran to his family and made them free. While doing this they heard of a grinding machine getting started. The lights went off in the room and there was a Thud sound heard again. As his eyes opened and he was getting conscious and a grinding machine nearing him. His eyes got widened and he had no clue to what should he do.
• ·         She was successful in getting herself out from the knot but was waiting for the right time to hop off. “Well you are being too sexy to be called a woman with two kids. I am enjoying this. You are a wild cat.” This was not at all funny for Sanjay. He took the sword from the corner, ran like a flash towards Manthra, moved his hand through his neck. Before Manthra could realize from where did he come from, he had his neck out of his body. Kaminibai’s eyes popped out and she was shocked to see her opponent in two by none other than her own child. Sanjay’s eyes were red with rage standing in a style as he knew he hit a bull’s eye. “No one messes with my family. I said no one.”
• ·         The Gaura’s were riding on horses and the Vaasi’s walking with them. They soon reached their Niwas Sthan (Place where they live). The Gaura’s were welcomed with flowers and drums, their traditional way of welcoming a honorary person. Sanjay and Shobha still confused what is going on.
• ·         “Who are they AAI? How do they know us? Why did they went on their knees?” To this Kaminibai smiled and said, “Once upon a time there was a MAN who had a brilliant personality but was on wheelchair due illness. It was his daughters marriage and everyone around were happy. Marriage was set to happen at the grooms village and it went in a proper way and the bride side were now travelling back to their village. While coming they had to pass through this Niwas Sthan. When they entered, no one was around. But the clothes, utensils were lying outside like a mess. Pin drop silence was there. People sensed something unusual as many of them use to pass this place and it was always a chaos around here, but what happened today. Then that man who was on the wheelchair stopped everyone and was trying to get up. His faithful child gave him a hand while standing. He went ahead and was picking a cloth. He saw the foot marks, they were familiar to him. He gave a look around and then he came to know what’s the matter. He smoothly dragged his hand towards his waist, held his knife and threw at the opposite side of where he was watching. BULLSEYE!!!! A Lootera(goon) was just killed by that man. The time this happened, the lootera’s hopped from the hiding surrounding these people. Less they knew that these were none other than the people of Gaura’s. Even if they were outnumbered, they had the courage to fight till the last breath and they did. That Man also fought for these villagers. It was he who said that we would either kill you or die. But he never expected that this would be his last. While fighting with 2 lootera’s this man was attacked by one from the back as they knew they couldn’t compete. His son was so angry that like a flash he ended the war as he could not take this. The war ended, Gaura’s won but they lost their best Mukhya. That Man was none other than RAMCHANDRA GAURA, your grandfather. That faithfull and angry son was your dad who killed these lootera’s like it was a piece of paper. The villagers were sad that because of them the Gaura’s lost their most important person. They gave agni to this man and said that the VAASI’S will always be grateful and faithful to his family. And this is why we are being treated in such a way.”

A new episode is on it’s way.
