Beware! Why This Woman Smiles For No Reason!-2
(chandrakant mallya)
Democratic rights and discipline were tested at the common water-tap and to find some edge beside the poor washing stone that took the beating!Minor quarrels with potentiality to turn into major fights! Tragedies up to loss of life over a bucket of water were not uncommon in Mumbai!The summing up--The end of yet another tension-ridden day. Many occupied public squares and annexed pavements next to their lands. Such instances were many.The vast stretch of greenary, silent beautiful mud-paths, fresh air, familiar cordiality and bitter enmity that made the village life was gone!--a thing of the past for the migrants from the village!A cluster of one-roomed tenement, jhuggies, open-drain, all-time clatter,clatter of the suburban train coaches, fast and slow, long Qs of moving vehicles in all directions, presented themselves as part of the daily drama. In the next twenty years, though he lost his parents in quick succession, Mashi had become Mashi Seth. Ample opportunities for the hard working and the enterprising, for the educated and the uneducated, for the honest and for the crooked, through both legal and illegal means, existed in Mumbai. The city encouraged all to come up in life through fair or foul tools. Lady lcuk was always active in Mumbai and she favoured many. Mashi managed to get a piece of land just opposite to the Goregaon Railway Station and opened a 'kutcha' restaurant. With a good populace to which Hotel-eating was an unavoidable way of life, it took just one year for the restaurant to become 'pucca.'On probation Mashi Seth, became a confirmed Seth.From Mashi Seth to Seth Mashi!Saluations Seth!Some distance away from the Restaurant, Mashi bought a plot ofand(legal transaction), constructed four shops on the ground floor. He stayed with his family on the first and second floors, constructed a one-room tenement on the terrace,to let out on rent. In the same year, he lost his wife, leaving behind two daughters. He remarried after three months.His Mohine arrived to take charge of the new house. Take charge of Mashi Seth. She had no plans to raise her own family. She surrndered to family planning with purpose."I can support any number of children. God has provided everything to me in abundance. But enough is enough," he braggrd nevertheless. Truthful brag! He had a big chestful of 'tax-not-paid' currency notes of all denominations. With a clever mind like Mohini at the helm of affairs,money matters improved . Seth Mashi was completely under her spell--'spell-bound' !...bound! Her .magical physical powers controlled him in toto.
