All in a story:Part 1(Tribute)

To whom it may concern: Tribute is a short story written by Dash,Benhur. I am only expressing my views.



Cutting It Short:The story starts with Babuli getting a letter from his elder brother . A feud had occurred in the household and the paternal property was going to be partitioned.It comes as a shock to Babuli.But his wife reacts as if she were waiting for it.She had grandiose plans.Babuli remembers how before marriage he had great attachment with his village,his family.But over the years he had neglected his family.On the eve of the fateful day,Babuli goes to the village.His elder brother meets him with the same love and compassion.On the day of partition Babuli remembers the sacrifices of his elder brother. Even though his middle brother offers him money for his share of land ,Babuli gives his share of land to his elder brother as a tribute.



Expressions: Benhur Dash has successfully recreated the family scenario that is becoming more and more prevalent in today's world,its better to say that we donot have the feeling of FAMILY any more.Family which includes Grandpa,Grandma,Uncle,Aunt,Cousins etc.World is becoming smaller and so has been our definition of family and mind set.As a silver lining,the author finishes the story with Babuli realising what family means,what is gratitude,his duty towards his family and elder brother.So still there is hope.The present is not so bleak.Hope future is bright.
