Indian Girl

Indian Girl
The next train is to India to a big crowded city, Calcutta. I am a Desi girl called Prittima Desmona. I am thirty two and live near a small town called Kajoy. 

You may ask who I am. I am a typical Indian girl. I work in a call centre and drive a small car. I don’t own a smart phone or computer. I have a simple mobile with buttons on it and have enough of computers at work.

I’m going to meet my parents in Calcutta by train, a journey that will take a day or so depending on the weather and landslides. I lived with them till I moved to Kajoy five years for my new job. I get to see them every few months due to work. My job is very busy but the pay is good.

Kajoy is a developing town. It’s by the coast and the local government signed a decree not to allow the town to become overcrowded and polluted like Calcutta (now Kolkata but I like the old name or New Delhi). Only so many buildings can be built per city block and there is a height limit and population limit too. Time will tell if this works or not.
