Kabhi dekho mann nahi jage

Pichhe pichhe sapno ke bhage

Ek din sapno kaa rahi chala

Jayey sapno ke aage kaha

Jindgi kaisi hai paheli haye

Kabhi toh hasaye kabhi yeh rulaye

Sharvani reached her home and changed into her casual clothes......

She was sitting in her room completing her school work when her mother calls her

"Ji mummy" she said coming out of her room

[Yes mummy]

"Kya din bhar padi rhti hai, mere liye jaa chai bna kr la" she said crossing her arms

[Why do you just lie around all day? Go make me some tea.]

"Abhi layi" saying this she went to prepare tea

She was serving tea when three ladies come to meet her mother

"Arre behenji, kaisi ho" one of them asked smiling cheekily

[Hey behenji, how are you?

]

"Theek hi hu , tum btao" her mother said gesturing them to sit

[I'm okay, you tell]

(Sarla- her mother's name)

"Hum bhi theek hai sarla behen, or btao kya chal rha hai aajkal" shushma one of the woman said

[we're fine too, Sarla. So tell me, what's going on these days?

]

"Kya btau, sar par bhoj sa lg rha hai. Ye abhi dasvi me hai, itni jldi bdi hoti jaa rahi hai. Ab toh kuch sochna hi pdega na" sarla said with grim expression

[What can I say, it feels like such a burden on my head. She's just in 10th grade, but she's growing up so quickly. Now I really have to start thinking about it, don't I?

]

"Ha sahi keh rhi ho, ladkiyo ka toh kuch pta nhi chlta kb Badi ho jaati hai, jitni jldi unko nipta do utna accha" veena , another woman said

[Yes, you're right. You never realize when girls grow up, and the sooner you settle them, the better.]

Shravani come with a tray of water and snacks

"Aunty paani" she serve them snacks and water while going towards the kitchen she heard a woman saying her name

"Waise beti toh aapki Bahut sunder hai, kaho toh me ek ldka btau" seema , the third woman said

[By the way, your daughter is very beautiful. If you'd like, should I suggest a boy.]

She was shocked to hear this, she have many dreams to fulfill. How can they think like that. She's only in 10th now

Before anyone could say anything she spoke

"Aunty aap ye kya keh rhi hai, me toh abhi Bahut choti hu or ek nabalik ki shaadi kra ke aap ko jail bhi ho skti hai" she said

[Aunty, what are you saying? I'm still very young, and if you get a minor married, you could even go to jail ]

Soon a sound echoed in the quite living room, sarla slapped shravani

"Chup kr , jyada jubaan nhi chlne lagi teri. Bahut kanoon sujh rha hai na, kru tera school jana band" she said gritting her teeths while wipping her hands on her pallu

[Shut up! Don't you think you're talking too much? Acting too smart about the law, huh? Should I stop you from going to school?

]

"M... mummy please aisa mt krna ......" Shravani said sobbing hard

[M... Mummy, please don't do this]

"Ab ye aasu bahana band kr or kamre me jaa" sarla said and she ran off to her room crying hard

[Now stop shedding these tears and go to your room]

"Dekha sarla behen, aajkal ki ladkiya thoda pdh likh kya li kanoon sikhane lg gayi hai" veena said Shaking her head

[See, Sarla, these days girls study a little and start teaching us the law]

"Ha, hmare jmane me toh maa baap ne jb bhi, jaha bhi , jiss se shaadi ke liye kaha hum ne uss se kr li" shushma said with a grin

[Yes, in our time, whenever, wherever, and to whomever our parents told us to marry, we married them]

"Ha nhi toh kya, or aajkal ki ladkiya pta nhi kya smjhati hai apne aap ko" veena said raising her one eyebrow

[Of course! And girls these days, I don't know what they think of themselves.]

"Ha pta hai aapko, vo jo tripathi ki family hai na" shushma said whispering

[Yes, you know, the Tripathi family ]

"Kon vo jo nayi shift hui hai" veena asked curiously

[Which shift here recently]

"Ha wahi pta hai unki badi beti ki love marriage ho rahi hai, kal jb me unke ghar gayi toh badi khush ho rahi thi , keh rhi thi jisme baccho ki khushi usme hi hmari Khushi hai, btao bhala aisa kahi hota hai ab beti apne liye pati khud dhoondhegi, kitni Sharm ki baat hai" shushma said with grim expression

[Yes, I know! Their eldest daughter is getting married for love. Yesterday when I went to their house, they were so happy, saying that their happiness lies in their children's happiness. But tell me, where does it happens that a daughter finds her own husband? It's such a shame]

"Ha wahi toh , ab jb humare ghar me baat pahuchegi tb kahi hmari betiyan bhi aisa na sochne lge" seema said angrily

[Yes, exactly. Now when this news reaches our house, who knows, our daughters might start thinking the same way]

"Ha or pta hai kal jb me market se sabji lekr aa rhi thi, toh unki beti ek ldke ke saath bike pr chipak kr bethi thi, btao kya jmana aa gya hai. Hum toh aaj tak apne pati ke saath bhi aise nhi bethe aur upper se usne sleeveless kpde pehne thae uske ghutne tak aa rhe thae btao ek ldkae ke samne aise chli gayi sharam bhi nhi aayi" sarla whispering with cupped hand near her mouth

[Yes, and you know, yesterday when I was coming back from the market with vegetables, their daughter was sitting clinging to a boy on a bike. Can you believe the times we're living in? Even with our husbands, we never sat like that. On top of that, she was wearing sleeveless clothes that reached her knees, and she went like that in front of a boy without any shame! ]

"Ha sharam haya toh sb bech khayi hai" seema said fiddling her hair strand

[Yes, she's completely lost all sense of shame

]

"Ha, veena jo Tum ldka keh rhi thi mujhe btana uske baare me" she said with grin

[Yes, Veena, tell me about that boy you were talking about]

"Pr behenji ek problem hai, kya hai na uski phli biwi mar gayi hai or uski 2 betiyan bhi hai" veena said with fake sad expression

[But there's a problem. You see, his first wife has passed away, and he also has two daughters]

"Arre toh kya hua, dahej toh nhi lega na kyuki hmare paas dene ke liye kuch nhi hai" sarla said leaning closer to veena

[Oh, so what? He won't ask for dowry, right? Because we don't have anything to give.]

"Toh phir me puch kr batati hu uski family se" veena said grinning widely

[Then I'll ask and let you know from his family]

"Ha bilkul" sarla said happily

[Yes offcourse]

"Chaliye behenji hum chlte hai ghar pr bahut kaam hai" they said getting up

["Alright, we're leaving there's a lot of work waiting."]

"Accha theek hai, veena tum mujhe jldi btana" sarla said getting up too

[Alright. Veena, make sure to tell me soon."]

They all left and veena on the tv in living room

"Why, Mummy, why? Am I so bad that you want to get rid of me?" she mumbled, burying her face in the pillow as tears streamed down.

"aap kyu krte ho mujhse itni nafrat, kya kiya hai mene aisa" she mumbled sobbing hard remembring her mother's behavior

[why you hate me so much, what have i ever done ?]

"par kuch bhi ho jaaye me shaadi nhi krungi, kisi bhi haal me nhi krungi. iss duniya me agr sbse jyada me kisi cheez se darti hu vo hai shaadi, kahi agr mera bhi aapke or pallavi di ki tarah haal ho gya toh, nahi nahi bilkul nahi. abhi mere bahut sapne hai , mujhe bhi pdh likh kr priyanshi di ki tarah job krni hai, independent ban na hai" she said wipping her tears while the new ones keep falling

[but whatever happens i'll not get married, no matter what.marriage is the only thing i fear the most , what if it turned out like yours and pallavi di, no no absolutely not. i have many dreams to fulfill, i want to study and do job like priyanshi di, be independent ]

after a while she fell asleep while crying
