GAON TETHE DEV

AMBEGAON IS A SMALL VILLAGE IN KONKAN. SHIVAJIRAO BHOSALE IS A REPUTED LANDLORD OF THE VILLAGE. BHOSALE`S FAMILY WAS THE OLDEST IN AMBEGAON. ONLY FOUR HOUSES OF A BRAHMIN; ALL OTHER VILLAGERS BELONG TO MARATHAS AND OTHER CLANS. BUT NO ONE WAS SUPERIOR; NO ONE INFERIOR – ALL THE VILLAGERS LIVED IN HARMONY. IN CRUCIAL TIMES VILLAGERS RUSHED TO SHIVAJIRAO FOR HELP. IN DIVINE CRISIS THEY WENT TO TRYAMBAK GURUJI. THE PRIEST TRYAMBAK GURUJI WHO LOOKS AFTER THE TEMPLE OF LORD SHIVA HAD TWO SONS AND TWO DAUGHTERS. THE ELDEST OF THEM SHYAM WAS LOOKING AFTER THE FARM. TRYAMBAK GURUJI’S YOUNGER BROTHER SRIDHAR HAD LIKING IN EDUCATION. BUT THERE WAS NO COLLEGE IN THE VILLAGE. BY CUSTOM NO ONE USED TO GO OUT OF THE VILLAGE FOR EDUCATION. SO SRIDHAR STARTED COUCHING CLASS AND SETTLED DOWN. HE GOT MARRIED TO SINDHU. THE COUPLE LIVED HAPPILY FOR THREE YEARS; BUT AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO A SON SINDHU DIED. EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE OF THIS MOTHERLESS CHILD - JAGANNATH WAS LOVINGLY NURTURED BY THE FAMILY MEMBERS. HERE SHIVAJIRAO ALSO HAD TO BEAR THE SHOCK OF UNTIMELY DEATH OF HIS TWO SONS. MEANWHILE DUE TO THE STUBBORNNESS OF HIS DAUGHTER JANHVI A HIGH SCHOOL HAS NOW BEEN SET UP IN THE VILLAGE. JAGANNATH AND JANHVI WERE GOING TO SCHOOL TOGETHER. NOW AGAINST SHIVAJIRAO`S WISHES AND AGAINST THE VILLAGE CUSTOM THE TWO ENTERED THE COLLEGE IN PUNE. JANHVI STARTED LIVING WITH HER MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER. JAGANNATH STARTED STAYING AT THE HOSTEL. THE TWO FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER. JANHVI`S GRANDMOTHER ALSO LIKED THIS WISE MAN JAGANNATH AS GRAND-SON IN LAW. MEANWHILE SHIVAJIRAO DIED SUDDENLY. NO MATTER HOW CLOSE THE TWO FAMILIES WERE IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO LIKE THIS ANTI-CASTE MARRIAGE; BUT THE MARRIAGE TOOK PLACE WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GRANDMOTHER. WITH THE HELP OF GRANDMOTHER`S ACQUAINTANCE AND DOMINANCE IN THE SOCIETY JAGANNATH GOT A BIG JOB IN A BANK. THE RICH GRANDMOTHER ALSO GAVE A NEW BUNGALOW TO HER GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN AS A WEDDING GIFT. DUE TO JANHVI`S EXORBITANT NATURE JAGANNATH`S MONEY FLOWED TO HER. HE WAS ALSO TEMPTED TO GET MONEY INDIRECTLY IN THE BANK. KNOWING THAT WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS NOT RIGHT HE WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE SITUATION. THE TIME CAME FOR HIM TO LOSE HIS JOB WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT ... DID JAGANNATH COME OUT OF THIS CRISIS? DID ANYONE HELP HIM? WAS THE FIGHT BETWEEN BAPU AND JANHVI OVER?
