Girls and Pictures
A morning in village
A young girl getting scolded for being talkative
Her sisters washing clothes
Wife in ghunghat following the husband
Vultures hovering over girls
bathing in the pond
In afternoon...
A secluded road
Schoolgirls passing by
The group of hooligans whistling
People worshipping a goddess idol
in a nearby temple
Evening in town
A news flashed on TV
“Rape victim’s father committed suicide.”
A lecture on women emancipation in a university
A porn film’s poster
on the wall of a widow’s house
The midnight
in Metropolitan city
wolfs roaming on the roads
a group of old men reading an old book
two teen-age girls have taken shelter
beneath a wall
on which is written
“Yatra Naryastu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devata”
(Women Are Honoured Where, Divinity Blossoms There)
