Suhas to was in a catch22 situation. He wanted to study but knew it would take him to a dead end as he would never be considered for a high position. As boys are not taken seriously and generally rubbished off as dumb. Suhas even dreaded speaking to a girl who had taken genderocin. He was approached by a few girls but he blatantly refused to encourage them. He always dressed in jeans and t-shirts thereby earning the name of tom-girl. But he did not give a damn. He had decided he will never marry a girl who has taken or has plans to take genderocin.

As Vijaya was thinking about all these Nirmal came back from work. Vijaya felt like someone had squeezed her heart. Nirmal was wearing a maroon saree-type dress, since the dress did not have any pockets he had to maintain a purse which had his identification and also light make-up materials like mirror, powder, creams. He never ever had the courage to try a lipstick although his younger collegues were completely at home using them. 

He was wearing 2 inch heeled backless slippers. Whenever foreign clients visited the company it was the job of the receptionist to do the aarti and welcome them. When they do this the receptionist is supposed to be in Indian tradition and hence wear a silk saree or a saree-dress along with accessories like bangles and also jasmine flowers in the hair. Due to this Nirmal was forced to grow his hair.

Vijaya welcomed her husband with a smile. She had always been the perfect wife. She saw it to that her husband and son felt comfortable and could relax at home forgetting all the pressures they faced outside.

“how was your day honey?” she asked him as she took the purse from him.

“It was fine” Nirmal quipped. The uneasiness in his voice did not go unnoticed. Nirmal went and changed his clothes and wore a t-shirt and lungi. He felt relieved getting out of those clothes. He put on the news. Just then Suhas too came home.  They had a quiet dinner and all of them shot to bed.
                                    
            A few days passed by. Almost all of Vijaya’s female friends had taken genderocin while their spouses had taken it too. Not only that but also all of the women had landed in plum jobs. but Vijaya did not even have a fleeting thought of taking genderocin as she knew Nirmal would not like it.


            One day Vijaya had finished her shopping and as she was near Nirmal’s office she decided to drop by so that she could surprise him. Vijaya entered the office and as she was in the lift she heard a couple of women speaking amongst themselves. Both of them were discussing about a receptionist. One of the women wanted to sleep with the receptionist but he had been ignoring her advances. Hence she was torturing him. He was currently still holding on as there were very few opportunities for men.

            As Vijaya was about to enter office she got a call on her mobile. After answering it she entered in. She saw the women who had been with her on the lift. The woman who wanted to trap the receptionist was scolding the poor receptionist. The receptionist was none other than Nirmal who was bearing it by gritting his teeth and watery eyes. Vijaya was shocked seeing it and she silently came out from the office. She was still shocked at the happenings.


            She initially thinks of asking Nirmal to quit but then realizes that he is the bread-winner of the house and there are hardly any good opportunities for men nowadays. That was the reason he has been bearing the humiliation. Vijaya thought hard as to what she can do to improve the situation. That is when she decided that she would go back to work so that she can also support the family.
