Homme’s Curses


Author: Dr. K.S. Kang


Man gets totally disparate and helpless when he cannot go to any place he likes at any time in any weather, though he has sufficient resources to do so. Likewise he can’t use and get things that he has paid for. Similarly when a man cannot meet the people whom he wants to meet, though he has sufficient time, resources and money to buy a ticket to get to that place. The height of helplessness is when he cannot use a thing that he had bought from his money, and even if that thing gets untidy he has soaps and detergents and even a domestic help whose salary he pays from his pocket. Let the anger, frustration, resulting from this disparate situation, pent up in mind flow like a molten lava from an erupting volcano though it may do harm by burning the surroundings but it may do much more harm if it remains closed inside, so let it flow freely and fully so as to achieve the state of harmony after a period of anarchy or to achieve catharsis after a catastrophe.


I wanted to undertake a journey with a noble aim to collect material to write the life story of my mother as a tribute to that noble and great lady but I was brutally and cruelly denied this opportunity by the so called friends, relatives and near and dear ones that has put back my project by six months atleast if I am fortunate enough to undertake this journey in next couple of months. Perhaps I may never complete it within the current life span and more over I feel defeated rather vanquished when I am unable to fulfil the promises made to the people though as a player I have been taught to accept defeat gracefully with dignity but this loss of face has resulted in the loss of my credibility now no longer those people will believe in me whom I had promised that the I will return soon after a gap. Only God knows whether I will be able to achieve my dream project of paying tribute to my noble mother( though everybody’s mother is a noble lady) in this life. I am also not sure whether God will grant me another human life in next birth enabling me to complete this project. My only hope is to complete this project in this life and so I pray to Almighty to give me health, energy and adequate resources in this life to finish this noble filial task, Amen !.
