Since her arrival in India in 2014, her perception changed due to her day-to-day experiences, friends’ true-life stories and the news she read. This book emanates from a draft of a short play she wrote, which was to be performed for a literary event in LPU. Written in a simple style and language, it captures some intriguing realities of what being a female in India is like.
