Titles: There is no story greater than a common man. A husband of 25 years has gone to the mountains to bury a stillborn child yesterday. Suddenly, for the first time, a woman feels hot in her chest. Clumsily she starts rubbing her breast, first watery, then yellow and finally white milk flows out. 'Han Kang', the author of this 5 short stories of a mother who lost her child, has won the 2024 'Nobel Prize' for her novel 'The Vegetarian'. In 1913, after our poet Guru Tagore, for the second time in Asia, Dr. It is the first time for a Korean and the first time for an Asian writer to receive this honour. The title 'The Vegetarian' suggests that it will be about vegetarians. Yes, no. There is no such emotional story or traditional sensational story in it. Also, in this novel – 'Isha's husband. Not the typical anguish of 'he leaves her forever for the handsome Isha'…or 'years later, widow Shubha gets attracted to her daughter Riya's boyfriend Keyur, and after years it puts an alarm in her head' – not even the tearful Dhansu formula…or '60 years of Vidya'. . There is no chance.. or 'the ghost of the dead daughter-in-law Vasudha lives in the Nanavati family of Navrangpura, speak!'- there is no twist of events like 'Chandu's shoes were stolen and he became a bandit in Chambal' or '7 Dudhmal Youth, Reserve Bank 17 months hide in river gorges after looting, 10 of them in gorges The exciting description of the page is not correct. ….so what? The heroine of the novel, Yeong-hye, is a simple-looking housewife who shakes the whole existence with the touch of a feather, despite being so simple. She is a humble woman who never questions about her husband's cheating or cheating. But husband Yong often wears 'padded-bra'. Wearing a bra makes Yeong suffocate, but Tae admits to cum. But one night, a dream, thus overturns the woman's existence. Yes, no. It was not a romantic dream of a man but a bloody dream of killing many animals at once. Well, since then Yeong, giving up eating meat, gradually withdraws from her husband physically and mentally, saying: 'I smell meat from your body!' Against Yeong's rebellious decision to become a vegetarian overnight, Yeong's husband and father-in-law force-feeds her meat, causing Yeong to cut his own wrist. Here in the first part, Yong's marriage ends. This is a feminist story but also an individualist story. It is not a blatant 'veg-non-veg' controversy, there is something special. To live in the typical mold, there is a rebellion that shatters the dark castle of social pressure that is built around us from childhood. Interval: Ped Se Lipti Bell Jo Dekhoon, Laj Se Mar Mar Jaaun! (Indrajitsinh Tulsi) In the second part, Yong-Hai's elder sister 'In-Hai', seeing the 'Mongolian-mark' on her son's body, tells her husband, 'Yong had a similar mark under his back!' Then becoming an artist, Yong gets tattooed with flowers all over his body for an 'art-project'. Banvi records the entire process of carving flowers onto Yong's naked body, and the physical intimacy between Beau grows. Yeong, sister In and Banvi… the story of the subtle relationship between the three touches the depths of the human body and mind and also reaches the heights. In the last part of 'The Vegetarian', sister In-hye is the heroine instead of Yong. In-hye leaves her husband for adultery but does not hold Yong responsible for it. Amey is now living in a mental hospital, but the sister has to take care of Yong, right? Once the sister gets a call from the hospital that Yeong is missing after running away to the forest. The sister remembers how little Yong, 9 years old, ran away from home to the forest to escape her father's beatings. Then the trees of the forest would have felt safer than the house? Now at an older age, Yong gradually stops eating and starts behaving like a tree himself. (Just like a play by our poet-playwright Labhshankar Thackeray!) Later, when the hospitalist force-feeds Yong, the sister remembers that her father also force-fed Yong meat. The two women stare blankly at the trees swaying in the wind along the road as the sister finally drives Yong away. Sister recognizes Yong's mute resistance. In the poetic climax, the sister feels that Yong, has now truly become a tree – a 'vegetable' and is slowly moving towards becoming a 'Yong' herself. The ending of the story of 'Han Kang' is a numbing read as Han Kang says: 'In a world where one cannot live as one wants to live, eat as one wants to eat, act as one wants to act and die as one wants to die…there How long can one live within the bounds of wisdom?' In this wonderful story, tears without wetness and cries without sound.
