A man from our village operates a
chemist shop at a village nearby. The village chemists work more as a doctor
running a clinic. They diagnose, prescribe and sell the medicines. In this way
they fill up a lot of blank space on the health welfare map of India. I’m
having a chat with him at his shop. A man in his sixties arrives at the
counter, puts down twenty rupees, looks the other way and stealthily plucks
away the pills put in front of him. Not a word was exchanged, or even a look.
I’m curious even though I have some clue to the episode. My friend elaborates
on the matter. This man belongs to the breed of the old men whose bodies have
aged but the passion remains the same in the mind. So to fill up this gap
between the body and the mind they take aphrodisiac pills. My chemist friend
tells me that there are about fifty such heroes in the small village. Half of
them still experiment outside their matrimony and the other half dallies within
their four walls, including some who have nice amorous equation with their
daughters-in-law. Of the last category, they are primarily pension holders and
are still the main economic pillars of the family, entitling them to amorous
times with their young daughters-in-law.
