“You will not remember, but you continued to cry and cry and I hated you because when you cried, I had to hide my tears. After all, Dadi would have a hard time managing us two.”
I felt that above is her life in a nutshell. A six year old girl with a scream locked inside her. Who put up a brave face and went about life. I really love how you have etched her, she is real, human with her set of flaws. What I like is that she is aware of it, she tries to correct them. At the same time I love her spirit of wanting to carry on, of not giving up, to try all she can to make her circumstances better. And she has a big heart too, in wanting to give a safe, normal life and love to a little girl.
