Miserable
saga of man’s life ?-
Sweet up to sixteen and sorrow
afterwards
By
P.R.Ramachander
(This again is based on a great write up in Tamil
my face book friend Hamsabai Santhaana
Krishnan.I do not agree with it
entirely as I feel that “Life is miserable to all who think like that”. I also feel that a woman’s life is much more
miserable.)
1.The joy of one
who was born,
AS a male is only till he reaches the teen,
For though he
is the one whose birth is celebrated,
All his life
he would face nothing but
problems.
2.Till he
completes first ten years of his life ,
He flies like
a very independent bird,
Then the say , “Hey study well
from now on,
If not , no college for you but
only training Institutes.
3.When he joins
the eleventh standard ,
His father warns him , “Hey boy ,
Work
extremely hard for two years,
Otherwise it would be workshop not engineering.
4.After two
years of hard work when
he joins,
The engineering college, his father again warns,
“I did not inherit
great wealth from
my father,
So do not go on
spending money like water.
6.After four
years of day and night study,
Without
enjoying any thing in life,
It would be meaningless if he does not get a placement,
For the
shouting words of parents
would make his life a misery.
7.They would say “It
f you were a girl , it would not have
mattered,
WE would have
managed to buy you some
ornaments,
And handed you over
to someone, you are a man,
You have to earn
money to clear the loan and ,
To give your
sister in marriage in a good family.”
8.After one joins for a job , he becomes a small fish in a big town,
Very careful in spending money so that
all the dreams of his family
are realized,
He has to take food
in a budget joint , travel in
a rickety bus,
And act as if he
was in the ocean of joy
before his parents.
9.By the time the family loan
is repaid, his sister is married off,
The parents would say , “How
long will you eat,
The hopeless food
in the worthless hotel,
You better get
married to a nice little girl.”
10.Then comes the
most miserable second part
of his life.
If he shows love to his wife, mother feels miserable ,
And if he shows any interest
on his parents says the wife,
“You are family man now , you have given them sufficiently ,
And it is time for
you to start to plan for our
future.”
11. He should not tell his problems
of office in home,
Nor should he tell the misery in home to others,
And he would realize that desire is for 60 days and passion for thirty days,
And small
differences in love life would
become a raging war.
12.Bending and
getting crushed when the voice of lady
becomes loud,
Having lost hhis backbone
as he is unable to say “no” to the wife,
Unable to neglect
the parents, giving support to both sides,
He would keep on
getting bad name from both as
well as the world.
13.Then he produces kids so that his clan does not end,
Nurture them to become great and he gets
the name
of “miser”,
When he is not
able to meet their needs and get a name,
“Morose face”
if he is not able
to smile when if he
is called names like that.
14.He would buys
good , costly and fashionable cloths for
his family,
For any festival
in house , but would search for “Buy one
, take two”.
For buying his cloths and suppose
after struggling to pay,
For presents and ritual
needs in relation houses,
He takes loans
and he would get bad dreams
and bad name only.
16.If with all these
botherations and problems riding
over him,
Suppose he
neglects to love his wife, she
would wail,
“There is a man in
my house who does not know that he has a wife”
And if some of his
relatives or friends buy a new
house or car,
She would yell, “I too got a useless
husband who is good for nothing.”
17.If he
shows love to his children,
he is spoiling them,
Suppose he is n
bothered to look after his old parents ,
She would say, “There
are other children beside you to your parents.”
And to a man whatever he
does will only earn him a bad
name.
18.For carrying a child for nine months, She would be praised all her
life,
But for carrying
his family and its problems always
in his mind,
There is no fame for him and he would be
greatly happy,
If no one
find faults with him. What a tragedy?
19.Inspite of all
these if that poor man
does indeed succeed,
There would be claims
from his parents and his wife ,
Claiming that but
for them this useless one,
Would never
have succeeded in anything whatsoever.
20.All the joy of
being a man is till he becomes a teen,
Afterwards , the
ploughs kept on his neck,
Would always push him down to the earth,
And he has to sorrowing struggle to
pull the burden, all his life.
