A North Indian Girl

More about the book

"Maa was standing silently at the window. She seemed to have left everything to God. Her eyes were wide, and it looked as if she had forgotten to blink. Though her lips were not moving, she seemed to be saying something to me through her eyes. She was looking intently at her daughter. She seemed as if she wanted to sweep me in her arms and kiss my forehead, cheeks and head but there was huge wall between us. Perhaps she was trying to say to me to exchange our places. Perhaps she wanted to take away my pain-my tears-but the wall, a literal one, was between us." A Rajasthani girl, Meera Rajpurohit, expresses the most painful moments of her life. Meera has everything-looks, wealth, a loving family and her horse, Kaali. She speaks of how she came back after touching death. Meera speaks about her love life with Kunal whom she was going to marry but Kunal, on the day of the marriage, stops his cars and talks to Meera on phone, and says he does not want to marry her, and goes back. The world stops for Meera; she tries to kill herself. She locks herself in a room but when she tries to kill herself, she loses her mother instead. Meera expresses her feelings about being a girl in very painful words. There is a mystery behind Meera's horse Kaali, who has ties to Dubai. The story is a saga of love and emotions.
