I liked the story. It is the personal opinion of the father. He could not have married without the approval of the woman. The woman never experienced love in her marital life. May be she too wanted to gain something from this marriage and it is not one way opinion of the father. If the decision of the old man was not appreciated by his sons, how her son appreciated it? Living in oldage home is not a solution completely. It takes care of the physical needs but not the desire of emotional needs of being wanted. Srujana gaari comment is very one sided and narrow minded. In future, India will see many such marriages I think.
In one of the family I know, the father married his aid and explained to his sons that he wanted to help her by letting her enjoy his pension after his death as the girl is a destitute. The sons appreciated it. Each case is different and we can not make judgement for others.

“However, the scientific tradition I’m quite familiar with encourages anyone to question, irrespective of their academic qualifications.”
Socrates may have planned his own death to prove his point about this question.
to borrow some quotes!
case begin.
“What could Socrates have said or done than prompted a jury of 500 Athenians to send him to his death?”
“Growing to adulthood in this bastion of liberalism and democracy, Socrates somehow developed a set of values and beliefs that would put him at odds with most of his fellow Athenians. Socrates was not a democrat or an egalitarian. To him, the people should not be selfgoverning; they were like a herd of sheep that needed the direction of a wise shepherd. He denied that citizens had basic virtue necessary to nurture a good society, instead equating virtue with a knowledge unattainable by ordinary people. Striking at the heart of Athenian democracy, he contemptuously criticized the right of every citizen to speak in the Athenian assembly.”
end of case.
That may be why most of our surviving nation states are Republics rather than Democracies.
Well everyone! Reading Sri Kodavalla’s writing about Jim Gray is a waste of your time (for those who already read it, my sympathies). You would know more about Gray just by reading comments from self professed morons (who also happen to be people): “The “ET” took Lt Felix Moncla into custody in 1953 and still are holding him. If the “ET” took Grey into custody, we may not see him again until we get the nuclear war machine shut down.” (that is a direct quote from some fella on the web.).
I don’t have a single academic qualification to declare that Gray’s work is a basic waste of human mind. But I think I am right about that. See, the proof is there: did his work help him while he was lost? It had to be useless. And, you can’t convince me otherwise. Let us see if there is a “competant scholar” who will answer my question (how is Gray’s work useful when he found himself lost at sea!), because I am going to declare such a scholar as another wasteful existence, who should just take off after Gray and see it for himself (if Gray’s work will be useful in reaching a shore).

Thanks to CS Rao గారు for bringing my attention to Dr. V. Rajasekhar’s considered opinion which I had missed. I’ll not respond to Dr. Rajasekhar’s derisive comments on my opinion, but will counter his assumptions about literary criticism.
He said literary criticism is like a scientific pursuit. However, the scientific tradition I’m quite familiar with encourages anyone to question, irrespective of their academic qualifications.
Dr. Rajasekhar compares literary criticism to medicine arguing that just as we want only trained physicians to practice medicine, so shall only certified literary critics pass judgments on literature. I disagree.
I contend there’s a fundamental difference between science and literature. In principle, anyone can understand and enjoy a literary work, but the same cannot be said about papers in “The New England Journal of Medicine.” It’s because of this egalitarian nature, even ordinary readers with no special training have some opinions on literature. Just because they are not learned does not make them irrelevant.
The professional literary critic should not bemoan such a democratic impulse, as such participation is not only praise-worthy in the readers but also healthy for the critic’s discipline. A competent scholar will answer even a layman’s questions while only a condescending scholar will frown and question the layman’s credentials.
