First Paragraph

Bhavatosh is studying English in college, but he is very reluctant. He has no respect for English studies. According to him, the country was destroyed after learning English. Bhavatosh often lamented that 'Aryabhava' is gradually decreasing in the country, there is no way to return to India in those good days. Due to the persecution of his relatives, he is forced to study English, otherwise he wants to go to Navadwip or Bhattapalli and enter a toll. However, despite studying English, the way Bhavatosh was able to keep his mannerisms and way of thinking intact is not seen today.

Bhavatosh was studying from Messe's house in Calcutta, suddenly one day there was a holiday. Bhavatosh bought new clothes for the house, packed a box and started home. Their village is not far from Calcutta.
Puja was done, the full moon came. That morning, Bhavatosh's widowed mother went to bathe in the Ganges. Ganga Ghat is a little far from the village. A large number of devotees have gathered at the ghat. Bhavatosh's mother saw one of his childhood friends, the wife of Upendha Padhyay, while bathing at the ghat.
"What sister, how are you?" Balia Upekshababu's wife came to Bhavatosh's mother. After the two sakhis' skillful questioning, Upendhababu's wife said, "Has Bhavatosh come home?"
has arrived His leave is over, he will come back to Calcutta." Upendrababu has a beautiful thirteen-year-old daughter, her name is Pulina. The girl is unmarried. Upendrababu's wife said, "Look, sister, if you marry your Bhavatosh to my Pulina, then it will be fine.
Bhavatosh's mother said ok, you will see. If the boy agrees, then the marriage can take place even in this Agrahayana month.
When mother returned home, Bhavatosh was sitting in the living room reciting a translation of the Parashara-Samhita, a gift from 'Bangavasi'. Mother came and said, "Dad, come inside the house, I have something to say."
Bhavatosh left the book and slowly followed his mother.
Taking her to her room, the mother said to her son, "Father, get married now. You are my eldest son, I will see the face of my wife for how long my vow is, fulfill that vow."
As I said, earlier Bhavatosh was very averse to marriage. Bhavatosh had no such 'Bilati objection' that one should not marry during the study period, or marry if not able to earn. His objection is different and also scriptural. She has heard (and read in the newspapers) that today's brides no longer appear as true Hindu housewives. They have become very luxurious and "babu". He no longer worships the Swami according to the scriptural tradition, but strives to use sakhya with the Swami. He heard many other complaints.
mother? He does not want to accumulate the sin of neglecting his mother's orders. So decided shortly, mother will marry only if requested but she will marry a girl according to her ideals.
Now, Bhavatosh had many free-thinking ideas about this, his house mates were all well aware. At night, after dinner, when a standing assembly of the boys of the house assembled on the roof, when many cigars were lighted at once, the subject was often discussed. "If I ever marry, if I do, I'll marry a black ugly girl," Bhavatosh said several times during the argument. Because beautiful girls are often spoiled. Father-in-law does not respect mother-in-law, does not respect husband, becomes sahabilasini instead of co-wife. Moreover, they are extremely gentle. Because there is a little form, he is busy to express the form well. I want soap, I want powder, I want a good saree, I want a saree, I want a poor husband's soul. Secondly, I will not marry an educated girl. They just read novels (some even write novels.) And play cards, write poems and letters to husband, do not do housework, do not have time for vows - son falls to the ground and cries. etc.
After listening to Ojswini's speech like this, the boys would say, well, what Bhavatoshbabu does during his work will be seen. Many say so. There is a lot of difference between saying and doing.
At this skepticism, Bhavatosh used to say, "Well, you will see the mosquito, take a look. That is what I say.
When the mother kept pleading, Bhavatosh agreed.
Said, "Well, mother, I will marry, but I want to marry myself." Mother was very happy to hear. He said, do you want to see and get married? That's enough. There is a very beautiful girl, thirteen years old.
Bhavatosh was shocked and said, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Mother said encouragingly, very beautiful. A face that is like an idol at once. Like the name, like the eyes, like the forehead eyebrows. The color is like a rose flower
Bhavatosh slowly said in a serious voice, I will not marry him, mother. Mother was surprised to hear. Why, what happened?
Beautiful girl I will not marry.
But what kind of girl to marry?
I will marry a black ugly girl. crazy boy Everyone wants to marry a beautiful girl. People don't get it.
Let everyone do it, I'll do it a little differently. Bhavatosh's words. The face glowed with pride. Is he one of all? Is he marrying for luxury like everyone else?
Seeing his mother a little sad, Bhavatosh told her everything. Why a beautiful girl could not be an ideal Hindu housewife made him understand well. At the end, he said, his promise is unwavering.
That day, the mother did not insist more. Bhavatosh's leave also ended, he left for Calcutta
