Under The Mango Tree by Bina Pillai
New Delhi. September 1975.
Diya Nair is eighteen, a diligent student, hopelessly in love with Aditya. Married against her wishes to Rajagopal, ten years older than her, Diya is exposed to an orthodox family where they follow archaic customs that are alien to her modern upbringing.
Despite this, Diya adjusts to her life in Rajagopal's ancestral house, winning his family over and even changing some of their regressive practices. But she is not able to understand Rajagopal.
She gives her all to the marriage and is blessed with two wonderful kids who become her world. Only Rajagopal's erratic, abusive behavior is a constricting thorn in her side. He continues to break her spirit.
Her thoughts keep returning to Aditya and the mango sapling they had planted together as proof of their love. Eating the fruits of the tree together seems a distant dream, an impossibility. Made resilient by repeated tribulations, will Diya overcome her biggest problems and find peace? Will Aditya and Diya ever reunite? Will Rajagopal mend his ways? Will her confidence help her find the balance in turmoil? And will life come a full circle for Diya under the very mango tree she had planted?
To know more, undertake this nostalgic trip with true incidents, happenings and emotions interspersed with a dosage of fiction.
