| Kisna, Our Farmer like
many others in India or for that matter, in many parts of the world is
trying as hard as he has always been. But so many things, including
nature are stacked against him. Kisna's family is trying in its own
simple wayy to please him and avert the inevitable. Kisna's wife is
convinced of the fact that he is contemplating ending his life and hence
ropes in thier 6 yr. old son, albeit against his wish and comprehension
to be with his father all the time and report any irregularities in his
behavior. Kisna, Meanwhile, is unaware or perhaps not bothered that he
is being watched as a possible candidate for suicide. Kisna is doing
only what he knows best, toil hard, get a crop, pray that the rains will
be on his side at least this year, sell his product and prepare for the
next season. The question though, in how long can he keep trying with
little or almost no profilts to show for his efforts.
This is a stroy about simple aspirations. The undying urge in the human race... to live and to live against all odds. In spite of this basic instinct, these farmers still choose to end their lives and the toll keeps on rising... |
