Luck, fate and destiny differs from people to people so does the misfortune. Therefore in the battle of fate, people even fail irrespective of his/her quality deeds. At the end of the day one has to bow in front of the altar of time. Life is mysterious and should spread the pseudo smile concealing the inner most pain. If you are brave enough to face the misery of hardship despite their strong veneration in almighty throughout the life, please summon on my dreadful recounting of the couple, Rudra Bahadur and Tankamaya Lamichhane of Ladavir-1, Sindhuli.

For the illiterate peasant class family to get involved in agrarian activities and raring cattle's is their profession and their ultimate end of life. Rudra Bahadur, the lone child of his father, overviewed the world so narrowly within his horizon of sight. His plights chased him in his life after he married with Tankamaya three decades ago. Then the days passed in the forms of day, months and year and their life also get tangled with irresolvable problems which can steal their sleep from their eyes. For the couple to hear the babbling tone form their child as "papa" and "momma" will be the proud moment so the couple suffered the potential threat, started to get involve in religious blessings for the sake of gaining children in their life as practiced in our mythical stories. Different shaman, spiritualist were called and 'Balan" dance was performed along with snatching various creatures' life for the means of offering to god. In the due long attempt, Tankamaya gave birth to a child amid the hassle of harvesting crops in the year 2053, Asar 24.

After their dream come true with the offering of lady child from almighty the couple celebrated among the neighbors' joyously. There is a saying avarice ruins our life, then the couple started dreaming about son, without who to dwell in heaven is impossible according to our Hindu, religiosity. The name Guna Ratna keshari, itself shows that how the parents have poured oceans of love on her Child. The subtle description of Guna Ratna Keshari reads:

Very secret glance, slightly pug nose, frequently  fluttered eyelashes and her cherry red cheeks, which could easily entice any outsiders and moreover, her bashful nature, adorable smile, soothingly behavior with snigger could make people  go crazy .In 2069 , SLC result get published and she secured second division. But the most hapless thing is that she felt sick and get down unconsciously. Say whatever luck or the blessings from God, she became conscious, but most worrying thing is that thereafter she started suffering from a peculiar disease she frequently lost her consciousness. Apparently, there we never see any sense of illness but inertly she was harshly affected. Time and again she was taken to hospitals- Bir and Ghopa camp but nothing works as per their expectations.

Couple exhausted with the treatment and medication on their child and to take resort of Christian's religion only came at the fore for the couple to get rid with such relentless problems. Therefore with the blind faith on Christianity they were asked to burn the photo of Hindu God and Goddesses, the patient was asked to visit church for praying. Fortunately, it worked for short instance but Lamichhane couple were deceived and unknown about the nature of disease was periodical and Tankamaya started to revile the Pro-Christian sermon. She came to Kathmandu with Durga Bahadur Karki and Shyam Ghimire, and was admitted to Model hospital after gaining some health improvement; she was backed to her home with child. She was unknowingly suffering from depression which was not deliberately uttered from the medical practitioners. Guna Ratna Keshari starred and her health condition became more wretchful and Tanka Maya take her daughter on her lap and headed towards okaldhunga without consensus of her husband to see the famous shaman named khatiwada, he was not able to recuperate her previous health condition and returned home agitating.Rudra Bahadur fumed with the conduct of his wife, and started grilling his wife and their  controversy added fuel to the fire to the person suffering from depression but their cold relation leads to worn out the very fabric of filial bondage.

In the month of Jestha 9, 2071, sultry and severe draught  deteriorated the condition and without caring the situation Tankamaya left her home to carry lunch to her husband in the field, leaving her daughter at home and wasn't worst to her health at the stage. Eventually, after she returned she call from the door and couldn't get answer of her call and moved near the door and peeped through the cracks of the door and couldn't believe her bare eyes and repeatedly saw to ensure it, and spotted her daughter was hanging in the ceiling with the help of her blue shawl and Tanka Maya yelled and cried in mess and fell unconscious. People hurriedly arrive her home and was taken to katari hospital with the bleak hope of life. But doctor confirmed her death and her body still has enough warmth we could feel. Tanka Maya couldn't believe and semi-consciously murmured her name while she was buring in the pyre. Her brother in law Bhim Bahadur was asked to perform the funeral function according to Hindu system. Lastly, the religious faith which was imparted to other people with the vested interest always tear the very fabric of the society and questions religious tolerance and such ruthless practice is asked to withhold and cowardice motive is condemned.
