| WHAT WILL HAPPEN? | |

This poem titled KYA HOGA by famous Hindi poetess VEERA has touched me to a great deal. I have tried my best to bring out the real meaning of her poem while translating it. It is still the bitter truth of rural India and small towns. WHAT WILL HAPPEN? Mother If I don't learn How to cook What will happen? Our name will be dishonoured In your in-laws' home! Mother If I am unable To knit and clean the house Or look after the household chores What will happen? Your father's honours would be disgraced We won't survive And be able to show our faces in society! Mother If like brother I wish to roam around the street Come late night at home Swear like a man And wear pant and shirt all the time Don't listen To the laws Of these four walls What will happen? You will kill us alive We won't even get a place in hell! Mother I really don't wish to know What will happen to you all And what will happen to others? Mother I only wish to know What will happen in my life? Johnny D 9th March 2007
