A short story by author ‘Paritosh Uttam’, which stirs your emotions and make you dwell on the fact the Vengeance is subjective and differs from person to person linked to their zodiac/ upbringing, though not sure about it.
The story revolves around a married woman who accidentally discovers her husband’s diary and figures out the secret entry of a vamp in her life. Unlike other stories which turn to a melee between the women- this story highlights the helpless bosom’s resort to aping her husband- to drive the learning to him. She recreates a similar situation through her own diary where she announces the entry of J- a fictional entry to reprimand her husband of the deadly sin committed by him (only on the basis of lost charm and voluptuousness of his life).
Life is difficult to decipher- on the one hand is woman fraternity willing to give her 101% to the males and on the other hand taking up the attire of Devi Durga who brings the evil to the end. In this era of tit for tat even the relationships have become so. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth is the mantra to establish your presence. Author’s imagination is well placed when some of them would sit down and become complacent, some involving the entire breed of their own and some taking it to court. This story definitely is forward looking and a welcome change from the creepy lizards, eagles and vultures of Linda Goodmen’s world.
