                    Disrepute, disgrace, ill repute, disrespect, disregard, insolence or impertinence is such pain that person feels self –pity and self-pity is always hurting for human.

          Umesh goes to Delhi with Mohan Singh for getting employment and parents of Umesh were feeling obliged to Mohan Singh. However, Umesh ran away from there and there was no sign of Umesh anywhere. It is Apjas on Mohan Singh. Later, after many years, younger brother of Umesh Vinod is returning to village from Delhi with Mohan Singh, Mohan Singh is again worried for new ‘Apjas’ (disrepute). Umesh returns to village from Vanaras as professor and they all meet in village. Now everybody is clean slate. Now, nobody feels self pity.

   The story deals effectively with the pain of self pity due to disrepute.
