at once. Mahavarah has permitted me only today. Just likely, in the rescue operation of this Sita[6] you may lose your life like Jatayu[7]: Do you have The guts?’’ I laughed. This I could definitely do. Just once did I mentally bow to my late father – 'Sire, today I'd have to remain disengaged from self-purification. On getting time and apt opportunity, it'll be done later. Don't know which grieved one's sacred rescue ritual has called me even to consign myself to flames. Let me be a family priest for this! Turning to look at Niuniya I said – ‘‘I'm ready. Bring forth my befitting costume.’’ References : [1] A name of Shiva.

Discourse LIFE AND IDEALS OF PREMCHAND Namwar Singh Translated Nishi Tiwari by “My life is like a bare plain field, where one may occasionally come across a few pits and holes, but devoid of dense forests, deep valleys and ancient ruins. So, people with a taste for the hills and mountains will obviously be disappointed”. This, in a capsule is, Premchands’ life history. There’s nothing romantic or adventurous here to enjoy with relish. It is just a simple tale of a common man. About a hundred years ago on 31st July 1880, in village Lamhi, near Benaras, a son was born in Munshi Ajayab Lal’s house. The child grew up to be a great writer–Munshi Premchand. He was named Dhanpat Rai by his father and Nawab Rai by his uncle, but contrary to all expectations, destiny had other plans. Neither did he become rich, nor did he become a nawab. Having lost his mother at seven, and his father at fifteen, he had to fend for himself, and fight his way through life. His first marriage having failed due to frequent matrimonial conflicts, he remarried- this time a child widow by the name of Shivrani. Such a step in those days was considered to be greatly unconventional and an act of defiance. Living under great financial constraints he gave tuitions, and sold books in order to continue his studies. He passed his entrance exams and became a school teacher. During his tenure as a government servant, he stayed in a number of places in U.P., especially Gorakhpur. When the Non-Cooperation movement started in 1921, at Gandhiji’s request he resigned from his twenty-one year old Government Job. January-March 2012 :: 41
