Question

After spending a leisurely Sunday at home, the very thought of returning to

work on Monday is tiring. Lethargy creeps in if the holiday continues over an

extended period. That is how I felt when I was preparing to return to my place of

work after spending six months at home. The fact that I was to leave behind my

newly-wed wife and go to a far-off place did not help either. Obviously I did not

want to go.

However, I finally did decide to go. I did not have much to carry by way of luggage

– just a trunk. Ours is a hilly terrain, without any motorable roads – and there is no

certainty that we are ever going to have any roads. In any case, while coming home

we do not carry bedding. Besides, I had come home this time round for a special

purpose: to get married. My parents had arranged my marriage, according to the

customs of our tribal society. Time flew, and five months into my marriage I realized

it. Initially I thought of extending my leave – even taking unpaid leave. But after

some dilly-dallying, I finally decided against it because marriage had increased my

responsibilities and I had got into debt
