Seven Vows Chapter 71page 145 - Page 76

Thanks Swati.

Shruthi, the heat is consummating Mr. Rajashekar and like may or say most father's he fear for his son's safety (life) though he is not vocal on many occasions. This shows his silence against his father & Mahantaji during Tilak case as well. Then it was not just an external person but his own father was against Tilak and anything could have happened to Tilak had Rajashekar not supported his father in separating Tilak from Anu. May be both would have had lost their live and would not even known to others. The also he would have thought Ok the girl will have leae the city and Tilak had to forget her but by that both will be alive atleast and that's all he would have thought off. That is why he was OK for Suman to get whipped 10 times, so that the case would have closed there and no further aggravation happened. But now with Sree's revolt, instead of 10 the whips became 20 and there is no guaranty that they will close the issue and it may cost his son's life. And for once I have no complaints against him as he is a mere father who is scared for his son. And unlike this sons, he has not faced any burden of guilt or hurt.

@jaya I am happy your understood Rajasekhar. That is why I wanted to bring the fear factor which is natural for a parent. Only problem is that beyond a certain point the fear anyways will have to go. Because suppressing things, burying things under the carpet one way or the other will bring destruction in one form or another to self. Because someone will question and that question will burn a lot of things. A Sabrina Lal questioned the system, the media made Manu Sharma accountable for Jessica's murder. Mother of Jyoti Pandey questioned RS members for being at logger heads when the juvenile who raped her daughter brutally was let off and juvenile justice law was amended. Some pain burns and from the fire revolt will happen, in such a way that a lot of power structures will fall.

@ Shruthi as mother of a daughter I know the pain of a parent when your daughter is out on her own and is yet to return home after her scheduled return time. Yes I have taught her to revolt if some one harm her but at the same time I do advise her not to indulge in fights with unknown people or not to get too close to unknown people as we don't know their nature and how the things turn from bad to ugly. So it is but natural for a parent to suppress his kids from revolting against elders of the society as a precautionary measure and not as a coward. If things can be earned by being silent, then why become violent? When we question an elder person of the society of whom the whole society fear or look with high regards in public, he is bound to face the heat as the elder person will not take it with grace but as an offense. If he accept the defeat, the no one in the society will respect him and to retain that respect, he will indulge into some action which will not only affect the oppose but also his family.

@Jaya revolt happens when you lose something, something precious to the system for no fault of yours. Silence don't earn you things there. The loss is something you have to feel. For me I have always taken it as a signal from God that my loss is because I have passed on without looking at the pain of someone intentionally. He is making me feel that pain so that I understand it and do something about it so that if not me, someone else benefit. My battles has been always personal, but somewhere the path I walked supported some others also. Especially my younger sisters.

One of the greatest lessons I learnt is that if you fear something, you will come in front of that fear. You can either succumb to it or accept it and overcome it. Succumbing doesn't take the fear away. If it manifests in one form today, it will manifest in different form. Only if you accept those feelings and overcome it you will feel liberated.

I was afraid of Physics. I studied 4 years B-Tech in Electrical, I was afraid of drawing paper as I couldnt draw. I cleared 3 drawing papers for B-Tech. I was afraid of computer programming. I ended up in IT did programming. I was afraid of marriage. I got married and living a pretty good life with my spouse. And I know what is the next fear Lord has planned me to face. But this time I am prepared. I have accepted it. I know I cannot run away, will have to fight it out

One more thing Jaya. Fear happens because we only see attack, but doesn't understand defense. Once you understand your defense you will learn to place your attack likewise. You will never attack system, but the power of the system which is its defense. But if you have to do that you should know your defense, you should understand how your defense work.

@ shruthi, I completely understand what you are trying to showcase through this story and also what all you are prepared for life to overcome the obstacle. I do that always. I never overlook at thing seven if they are minor importance as at times they will explode with loud noise breaking many things. At the same time, I will pre project the situation and prepare myself to face it and will try my level best to save my people to face the wrath if I could face and surpass them.

@Jaya from your replies itself I know you are a good planner, very practical lady. I enjoy reading you and certain things I feel, if I had been told it that way at an younger age I would have handled things better.

There are real life Sreedhar's or people one step ahead of him. Read this :)

Wow , excellent Shruti !
