Full of thorns

How difficult for a Mangala, for a Kamli, for a Nimboli, for a Urmi to make things better and safe!

Forget for a moment that they were offered help. Many do not get that type of offer also.

Except Kamli and Urmi, Mangala and Nimboli have no access to phones. They have to steal them for some time.

Mangala always has some change or a few rupees. Who gives her pocket money? Or she sells some gold and saves that money. Maybe.

Next to go out of home is also a problem. Usually they have to tell that they are visiting temples.

And its a small place and everyone can recognise anyone. Hence the shawl or pallu may save for a while.

They dont have decent roads. They have to walk on kachcha dust roads, sometimes without footwear too.

Even using a public telephone is risky and unpredictable.

They have to live amidst all this because the head of the family is a vicious man. While Kamli at her sasural and Urmi at her mayka had better lives.

Now Akheraj knowing their secret and facing his punishment. It maybe murder or rape. Who knows?

Yeah feels really bad to see that every basic human rights are denied to them.

Widows like Mangala has a really terrible life. Those like harki have more rights. Atleast they don't have to take permission for every small thing to do.

Felt really bad for Mangala when she was phoning from PCO. Even initiatives like digital india may not reach to people like Mangala because the male members would say what they would do with a phone.

We take everything for granted.

Whine when we cant buy the latest smartphone.

Curse the traffic jams.

Curse when call drops.

Would kill if somebody tries to curtail our freedom of movement.

Feel bored and go for shopping to get some relief from boredom.

Spend money like water and feel happy.

Go to films and restaurants with friends without any problem.

Let us be grateful for all these things and try to help if not empathise with the have nots.

Nimboli finds happiness in small things. Eating even a tomato or travelling by a ramshackle bus or truck, forget BMWs. Finding happiness in sunbeams and rains.

We hear that they want to ban cellphones for girls. And restricting where they go, when they go, with whom they go.

Life is indeed very difficult and very different from what we experience. This is just a story - but even in real life - the life of so many people are full of thorns.

Akhera cares for Mangala🤣 good, and he listens to her advice - more good. And this IS Mangala's family - why it is thought that she only considers this as her family? As elders bahu of the house - she has as much right on this home as Harki. Mangala going to temple is logical - she is the elder bahu. Anything and everything that happens in serial will be used to bash Mangala.

Why would akhiraj give money to Mangala when he doesn't give even 100 rupees to his own daughter to buy books? Maybe she is having her husband's savings kept with her to use in crisis. She can not risk to spend them on phone or even if she wish to buy a phone, would akhiraj allow her to buy one? wouldn't he cut her into pieces for doing something which is not allowed to Widows?
Wherever she goes she goes after permission. For representing akhiraj family at temple she requested them to allow her to go.
Regarding advice, her advice is not binding on akhiraj.

And if Mangala had so many rights in akhiraj house, I would have never wished her to leave that hell. @Aparna
