Well written piece. We fully apprecite the hard work and shear determination of girls in Pakistan to get education. This is a scene that I have been part of and belive me I can totally relate to Karishma. Poor hindu girl in a sea of uneducated mullah led ignorant creatures.
Thank you Hamidah.

A moving short-stotry with a pinching touch of reality. It leaves the reader with a sense of a painful wonder!!

This is an everyday scenario for girls living in Pakistan. One thing is for sure...no matter where in the world you are...being a women is always hard.
