THE LAMENTATION OF THE OLD PENSIONER
SUMMARY IN ENGLISH
The speaker is an
old man. Now he is like a broken tree and nobody cares for him. But when he was
young he was greatly admired by his friends. They sat by the fire side and told
stories of love and political intrigues.
He feels jealous of the youngmen who are enjoying life as he used to enjoy when
he was young. In his youth he loved young, beautiful women. He still thinks
about those days. He blames time for his present condition. Time has brought
about this change.
THE LAMENTATION OF THE OLD PENSIONER
SUMMARY IN HINDI
वक्ता एक वृद्ध व्यक्ति है। अब वह टूटे
पेड़ के समान है और कोई भी उसकी ओर ध्यान नहीं देता। परन्तु जब वह युवक था, उसके मित्र उसकी
प्रशंसा करते थे। वे आग के पास बैठते थे और प्रेम और राजनीतिक षड्यंत्रों की
कहानियाँ सुनाते थे। उसे युवकों से ईर्ष्या होती है जो अब भी जीवन का आनन्द वैसे
ही उठा रहे हैं जैसे कि वह उठाता था जब वह जवान था। युवावस्था में वह सुन्दर
युवतियों से प्यार करता था। उसे उन दिनों की याद अब भी आती है। वह अपनी वर्तमान
हालत के लिए समय को दोष देता है। समय ने यह परिवर्तन किया है।
