I am a modest woman. I am so modest that you did not even notice me but I am looking at you.
You are going to the doctor's place with your wife. To know whether there is a girl or a boy in his womb.
Basically you want to kill your girl, right in the womb.
You may not even realize that I have made the road you are going through.
Here I laid rods and then crushed them with dust.
My younger daughter then used to sleep here in the bushes growing on the shore.
I have three daughters.
My man used to say that if the son is not born, he will leave me. He even left me to say but still comes every now and then for cooked food.
He also talks softly. I understand everything. Then I think let's be the father of my daughters. It is amazing that the daughters from whom he wanted leave, I serve him in the name of those daughters. He understands that daughters are a burden.
All my three daughters are dark brown. His black eyes are like big ripe berries and hands are very agile, they work well. Like me, they will beat all kinds of business. But still I am very happy to have them. I am not alone.
You understand that girls are useless.
You don't even know the work of women. Hey look, I built a road, planted paddy, picked cotton, reeling in a cloth factory, dug potatoes, gave birth to three daughters, brought up, am I useless? Whatever tea you drink, its leaves are also chosen by girls.
And what don't you do! Women do so many businesses that it is difficult to count and this suitor of yours will be of one pound. One pound of wool is so much that it takes three days to make his suitor, for which I used to get twelve rupees.
When the girls were small then they used to think that I can weave while sitting near them at home.
But the business was of great loss. Then the contractor started taking out the pranks and started looking at me wrongly, so I left this business. Then he worked in a flour factory. Leave and catch the big things. I keep two or four chickens and goats well. Similarly dry-dry works.
This silk sari that your wife is wearing, its threads are also prepared by women.
Insects feed. Difficult work. There are wounds in the thigh. Even in the planting of paddy, the feet get cracked and the waist breaks down.
If I had money, I would have taught my girls to make them masters or doctors, you yourself are educated. People with money also see, why do you want to abort the girl's pregnancy. You understand that your girl cannot do any work. Hey man, nothing wasted. He has a hundred things to do.
Then killing girls by thinking like this is playing with nature.
If suppose you have a boy in your house then what do you think he will love you more than girl. Then the boys are spoiled too.
Nowadays their attention has become more in pranks, cards and beatings. Suppose a girl is born then what?
You teach him. She will love you very much. Girls love mother-jaap very much. Your house will be bright and so separately. You think dowry has to be given. So you make it worth eating and earning. Do not marry a dowry asker. Maybe you will find such a boy who can get married without dowry.
What if you don't get it? She will earn – eat and become your support. May he make your name bright.
Is money everything for you or is the fear of the world greater than that of your daughter?
After all you can love your daughter and daughter can love you too. There is so much bond between parent and child. For this man lives, no matter how much money is believed, but love and affection is still a big thing, it is better to maintain it. No, consider the world to be destroyed.
So much arbitrariness with nature is not good. If you keep making girls fall like this, then how few women will become. Then you will fight for them like dogs. If you can get them killed today for fear of dowry, then tomorrow you will sell them again in the greed of money. In this way, will the world become very good or will there be happiness in your families.
Why are you so afraid of the silk sari you have come with with it? Do you think it will leave you?
Even if this twinkle-eyed left you, would you die? I was not even educated. I am not afraid of taunts. If the man threatened to leave, he said, leave it. Even now I eat after working hard, even then I will work hard. But could he leave me? We women are great. We can leave it like that. They also need family. Otherwise, you will die while gasping. There will be no water supply.
I say give birth to a daughter too, don't even give dowry and don't be afraid. See, the world will run like this, it will run better. The pressure will be less.
My daughter has learned embroidery and sewing, what if she had not been there! I would have died beating the business in the world. I still work hard but there is happiness in my heart. My three girls are very talented. He has a cuckoo-like voice.
Listening relieves tiredness.
Don't marry someone will make his life a mess and whoever marries will be a god.
Let me go, this contractor is seen coming.
Eyes are starting to see less.
This is Liberty Cinema, it should not be demolished. The owner wants to build shops all over the market here.
Here I will do the work of carrying the debris.
The work is fine.
I have done a lot but in front of it is this doctor's shop.
Here there is a boy-girl test.
Seeing this, there is restlessness in the mind. You will have to see the face of people like you from time to time.
of killers.
If I get work somewhere else, I will leave this place. See, till then I will have to work here.
If I had been educated, I would have written all these things.
Then you too would have read my words in the book.
After reading, you also say that Kartari Devi talks about the address.
