Review : A Tribute to my Dreams by Balachandran Kodandath 0
A Tribute to my Dreams is mainly about a matrimonial dispute, the main protagonist Abhay marries a beautiful woman Sveta after an arranged marriage . However after a few years it becomes obvious that they do not get along and they file for divorce. They also have a young daughter Adithi, and her mother refuses to allow Abhay to visit her after they separate. However Abhay is very attached to his daughter and tries very hard to get custody of his daughter while his wife exploits his weakness for his daughter to mental harass him, waste his time.
Getting a divorce is also very difficult and time consuming as Svetha and her lawyer often do not turn up in court when the hearing is scheduled, so Abhay has to waste a lot of time attending the court, only to find that his wife has not turned up. It clearly indicates how stressful and time consuming a divorce or any legal issue can become in India, if one of the spouses is not cooperating or wishes to take revenge as they will simply not turn up when the case hearing is scheduled. Abhay is luckily that his advocate for the case, Sarita Arora is a family friend and a true well wisher, who tries very hard to sincerely get a good deal for him and get custody of his daughter
One of the more interesting aspects of the book is how Sweta and her lawyer intentionally manipulate the system to show that Abhay is a hot headed person who is getting angry very quickly and is not suitable for getting custody of his young daughter. Though he has been granted visitation rights for his daughter despite waiting for more than six months, Sweta and her lawyer do not allow him to contact his daughter, giving flimsy excuses that Sweta and Aditi are not keeping well. Hearing these obvious lies, Abhay becomes very angry, and this is used by Swetha’s lawyer as proof that he has a quick temper and is not to be trusted with the custody of his small daughter.
The indian mainstream media does not write about it, however the tactic of making fake claims , speaking blatant lies to defame, harass, make people angry is very widespread in India, and widely used by the security and intelligence agencies, especially in Goa to defame, cheat and exploit vulnerable harmless indian citizens, especially domain investors. For example in a major SEX, bribery and identity theft racket allegedly masterminded by google, tata since 2010, google, tata have bribed the shameles fraud corrupt sex maniac NTRO, CBI, R&AW, security agency employees to abuse their powers and falsely claim that google, tata supplied goan SEX workers, cheater housewives and other frauds who do not spend any money online, do not do any work online own this website and others to get all these prostitutes, cheater housewives and others a monthly R&AW/CBI salary at the expense of the real domain investor
The cbi employees are the greatest section 420 frauds in the world involved in a massive waste of indian tax payer money, harassing the domain investor for years, falsely claiming tax evasion, yet in goa they cannot even verify the resume of their own employees, falsely claiming that google, tata sponsored eighth standard pass gujju housewife naina, mother of two sons, goan gsb fraud housewife riddhi nayak, who have not spent any money on domain names in their life , own this and other wesbites. Similarly goan R&AW employees sex workers sunaina chodan, siddhi mandrekar have openly boasted that they are not doing any work online , yet the shameless fraud ntro,cbi,raw,google, tata employees enjoying their sex services are shamelessly making fake claims to get the goan sex workers, frauds great powers, a monthly indian government salary. Similar cheaters brahmin housewife nayanshree hathwar, mba hr ruchika king refused to reply to the google competitor after receiving more than Rs 1 lakh as payment to cause mental stress and were rewarded with R&AW jobs by google, tata
When the real domain investor exploited by the google, tata sponsored frauds is becoming angry and complaining, the cunning section 420 fraud liar tata, google employees are using this to defame, cheat and exploit the domain investor further. The book also indicates how mental stress, harassment caused by strained relationships can adversely affect a person, and make him or her do or say things, which he or she did not mean to offend.
This book is interesting as it is one of the few fiction books detailing the indian legal system, divorce,child custody, failed marriages.
