As In the Films

Amid her degraded,miserable life in the red light area, she hummed the songs of the Hindi films. Looking at her reflection in the mirror she dreamt herself as the heroine of a romantic movie opposite her favorite star. Sometimes, she copying the dialogues and gestures of heroines from the romantic scenes of the popular movies. She fancied herself as a courtesan she had seen in a film whose song captivated a rich,kind Babu. These filmy,romantic thoughts often comforted her youthful life in the red light district.
