Shadow of misery.

                             

Chandani  winked and gyrated seductively to the Bollywood 

number. At the closing bell she was adorned with garlands 

of currency notes. There was enough to send her daughter, 

Pinky , to a good boarding school to ensure a bright future 

for her. The shadow of Chandani’s misfortune and misery 

would never fall on her daughter.

    1. Feel sad for Chandani as she is a mere object of lust for the men And society brands these ladies as indecent but the men who go for entertainment are left alone.Paradox.

  4. But she is earning her own money. She is not begging someone. I find that we should respect woman of such kinds they made a choice perhaps not a happy one but its better to live your life on your own terms..I pity the wives of those who come to entertain themselves through these women more..

    1. Chandani earns her own money and is independent . She is not dependent of anyone else for her 2 square meals but is she happy with her profession? She tries to earn more to keep her baby away from her misery. and Yes Chandani should be respected.
