Ambitious,with dark eyes and light brown
hair...she stood 5ft3' high..attractive and head held high.A small town model,she came to the city of joy-kolkata...to chase her dreams...to become an actress.but..she failed.failed miserably.she coudn't keep pace with the thousands of other pretty faces.she was lost..lost in the crowd.completely lost.i shed a drop of tear after reading this piece...
i closed my eyes for a while...and everything just flashed before me.once again.
when I kept knocking on every producer's door begging for just one role....did they??did they even pay any heed??
when I kept running after fashion houses...just to hire me for a single show...did they??
even though i had the talent..but when my room-mate agreed for a night stand..she was offered the role...and i was declined...did they ever find out then...WHY??
when I carried my portfolio in one hand and ran about from one studio to another...every god-damn men...all that they said with a smile was ...'spend a night with me and your future is built'..did they find out why??
when my mother would call me up every night...i knew father had beat her again..she woudnt tell me anything...but i just knew it...did they find out then...why??
I struggled everyday just to arrange some money for my mother..but that too was snatched away by my father.added an extra bottle of whisky in his pocket.
my boyfriend...a rich son of a rich father...promised to get married to me..fled away.
when he found I was pregnant.
yet,i kept numb...kept struggling....WHY?
they didnt find out..
yes,i ran away.i failed.i couldn't.
wiped away my tears.
the last line of the story read..
'she was found dead today.she hanged herself from the ceiling fan of her rented appartment.'
i smiled to myself..and you call this women's day...ever wondered what happenned to women like us...
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY...to all
