Unfinished Tasks

Naik Ganesh Yadav of
the Bihar Regiment Centre
On his last visit home three months ago, the eldest of
Ramdeo Prasad's three sons had promised to return in
August to reconstruct the family house. That wasn't to
be, but Ganesh Bhaiyya's death has stirred up Pandeychak
village in Patna district like nothing else. "We're
all ready to meet his fate," is the battle cry of
young boys. And although his death's left Ganesh's young
wife Pushpa Rai dazed, she is confident of sending their
18-month-old son Abhishek to complete the
"unfinished task of my husband".
