Author Description

A tribal old man, after the demise of his beloved wife considered an age old giant mango tree as his lone friend in the world. Most of the local labourers declined to cut off the tree as asked for by the new owner of the land on which the tree stood as the tree was considered divine but local people. Unfortunately, to get a job for his unemployed son on whose income his family depended, he had to fell this vast tree. The story describes the pain and agony of the old tribal in course of killing his only friend in the world.
