"మనమిద్దరమే ఉందాం!" పుట్టింటి మమకారం మరియు పెళ్ళయిన తర్వాత వచ్చే మార్పుల మధ్య ఉండే మానసిక సంఘర్షణ !

"Let's Stay Together!" by Muppalla Ranganayakamma Garu This story reflects the changes in the behavior of girls who marry and go to their in-laws' house in middle-class families when they return to their birth home, and how those changes hurt the hearts of their parents. The eldest daughter Padma, who returns to her birth home after six months, becomes a complete stranger to the environment of her birth home. The main features of this story are her aversion and boredom towards her younger brother and sisters, whom she loved so much as a child. Due to the wealth of her in-laws' house and her habit of comforts there, she despises the poverty of her birth home and the dishes cooked by her mother. Addressing her in-laws' house as "our home", her mother Kantamma sees her birth home as a foreign place, which makes her feel sad. The mother, who had been waiting for her daughter to come with great hopes and made many meals, is deeply disappointed by the pride and selfishness in her daughter. Padma's unwillingness to give even a piece of ribbon or nail polish to her siblings makes her mother think. Here, the author depicts the loneliness that parents experience when their children grow up and their priorities change. There is a kind of disillusionment and anguish in Kantamma's thinking, "They will change.. Now it's just us (husband and wife)." Analysis: This story is not just about a family. It exposes the personal selfishness and changing human relationships in modern society. Through characters like Padma, who gives importance to the status of the in-laws rather than the affection of the family of origin, Ranganayakamma has very directly and clearly explained the decline in moral values ​​in society.
