THE HOUSE HOLDER (1960)

The Householder opens with the account the concerns of an ordinary young man’s slow attainment to a status of the householder. Prem is married to Indu and is fumbling to find his foothold in his personal and professional life. He wants to be impressive just like his father and wants Indu, his wife to imitate his mother while she is treating her husband (Like her mother would treat her husband with respect and reverence).

Prem along with his wife Indu has shifted to Dellhi and by virtue of his late father’s influence got a job in a private college. The comic element of the story lies in the concept where Prem though married his mind and heart at his mother’s feet. His attachment with his mother, the food she prepares and the comfort of life where the responsibility of the house taken by his mother and shows his desire for ‘the state of plentitude’ and comfort. So he imitates his father expecting his wife to imitate his mother in respecting him.

Prem and Indu are like little cherubs who have been tied into a nuptial knot – a situation they are mentally not mature enough to be in. Prem belongs to middle class and is depicted as a man in battle with his personal and professional life. He is yet to come to terms with his economic conditions, work environment and is also fumbling to act as a man trying to bring a balance between two women his mother and his wife.


The present small piece of story, A Tea Party is taken from the novel 'The Householder' where the newly wedded couple was invited for a tea party by the Principal Mr. Khanna. His lack of confidence in handling situations was brought to the reader in the most comic style.
