How many God's names are there in the story housewife by rabindranath tagore
Answers
Answer:All of us have our share of embarrassing moments when we are ashamed to such an extent that death seems a sweeter option than the bitter humdrum existence. It may be a disastrous job interview, a guffaw in front of your relatives, or a rash judgement resulting in mortifying discomfort! As an adult, there are lacs of situations which constantly bring their rewards and punishments.
Thankfully, God has gifted us with a wonderful fickle memory, that refuses to accumulate tragic events and tries to balm the sore injuries by simply forgetting bad memories, while cherishing the happier ones for years to come. But, if the inauspicious moment arrives in someone’s student life, and that too at the behest of a teacher, it becomes psychologically frustrating and emotionally appalling for the poor child.
Housewife (Ginni in Bangla) by Tagore is one such story that revolves around such an unlucky boy, Ashu who became victim of an insensitive teacher Shibanath. The teacher has a very frustrating habit of name calling his students. He often twists their names in a non savory manner, which though entertaining for himself and fellow mates, is deeply hurtful to the unfortunate name bearer. Sibanath, though Tagore says nothing about his background, seems to suffer from some deep rooted complexes and derives sinister pleasure out of boys’ discomforts, and it is this specific trait, which is highlighted by the writer in the present story.
The protagonist of the story, Ashu is his newest victim. Apparently, he is a shy reticent fellow, introvert enough to shun his classmates, private enough to conceal his familial matters and sensitive enough to be hurt by slightest insult, in short, a perfect target for bullies. One day, Shibanath gives him the name of ‘Ginni’ literally Daughter-in-law or Housewife.
