In My Land

Looking through the window pane the world outside seems burning like hell…….. No less, is the fire in her heart….. There is no hope left in her tattered life….. Can’t find a ray of hope even in her kid’s twinkling eyes…. With each tap on the door her heart skips a beat….. May be he is there…. May be he has come back…. Her sole breadwinner….. Her life, her love….. Keeping those stony eyes on that door….. She waits for this dreadful life to pass…. This is the torture she goes through everyday….. In my land he is the ‘MISSING PERSON’ and she is his ‘HALF WIDOW’….

yes,Mandy....it is sad to see their plight...it worse than being a widow...Atleast a widow has closure but these women live with uncertainity about their relationship status..:((
