Ganesh's Life at Fuente Grove

GANESH’S LIFE AT FUENTE GROVE

Ganesh Ramsumair’s life at Fuente Grove starts with the house received by him from his father-in-law Ramlogan in dowry. He has high expectations from the house along with the entire place and it would bring him great things ahead. So does happens with Ganesh that despite of a bad start at the place it was only through this place that Ganesh gains the entire name and fame and yields not only for himself but the entire place, a remarkable reform and positive changes in the following ways.

          Ganesh’s life at Fuente Grove gets a bad and unexpected start. The house he receives in dowry is much smaller than his expectation along with the poor road and water conditions to go on with in that place. Beharry is his only friend there from whom Ganesh takes the books for reading. In order to make income Ganesh tries the same thing of being masseur but presence of many masseurs and his way of treating patients gradually makes him deprived of the patients. Later Ganesh begins more and more reading by ordering free books and purchasing from Beharry. He plans for writing books but couldn’t do it. Nothing seems to be going correct for him but Leela’s leaving him and Beharry’s persuasion makes him write a book named ‘A Hundred Question and Answers on the Hindu Religion’ by Ganesh Ramsumair, B.A. Things at first seem to be going good for him but lack of sale of his books leaves him in despair once again.

          Owing to his current failure Ganesh is advised to be a pundit and is gives respective books by The Great Belcher belonging previously to his uncle. Gradually Ganesh shifts back to his masseur work and begin gaining enormous popularity not just because of curing a boy but also charging no fixed sum. Things grow better when he takes up Ramlogan’s earning opportunity by coaxingly buying his taxis, charging too much money from Fuente Grove’s Ganesh’s customers thus making more profit; also his ‘Question and Answers’ become successful. Owing to his fames both Beharry and even entire Fuente Grove’s condition is improved.

          Another changing course at Fuente Grove takes when a jealous man Narayan’s articles criticising and competing Ganesh starts coming up. Initially Ganesh ignores them but on being pursued by Beharry and The Great Belcher he decides taking up action against him thus in turn opening his way towards politics. He publishes his own newspaper somewhat against Narayan and even opens his own Hindu League against Narayan’s Hindu Association and by proposing his aim of uniting all Hindus along with his reputation as masseur earns him many favours. He gradually forces down Narayan to back off. At last at Fuente Grove Ganesh fights the cleanest election. Thus he leaves his career as a masseur. He wins the election with clear majority. After the election Ganesh becomes Member of Legislative Council and decides leaving Fuente Grove to Port of Spain, giving great and remarkable developments to entire Fuente Grove.
