(Translated from the Original Hindi by Kanwar Dinesh Singh)
“Where did you go at this hour of the night?” The inebriated husband came in and lied next to his wife.
Covering her eyes with her elbow, the wife replied, “To pee.”
“Why did it take so long?”
“If you fill your stomach only by drinking so much of water, it takes time to pass it.”
“Bastard, you’re lying? Tell me straight out whom did you go with?”
The wife explained, “Who will I go to have fun with! Who’s there to dote on a woman working in mud and mortar?”
“You bitch. . .”
“Why are you growling? When you know I go with someone, why don’t you find him out?”
“Shameless woman . . . you argue with me! I’m asking for the last time―tell me who did you go with?”
The wife got up, sitting anxiously. “So listen . . . Yes, I went with someone. I keep going with him. You are not capable of anything when you’re drunk.”
“Shut up, you bastard! I’ll punch you in the face, if you talk nonsense again. What do you think a man is not a real man when drunk?”
“Yes, he’s not . . .”
“Well, then see if a man is not a real man when drunk. . .”
The man picked up the lota lying next to him and hit on the woman’s head.
