An essay I wrote about my mother. #InternationalWomensDay

‘ये कंप्यूटर-इंटरनेट पर कितने सारे लोगों की तस्वीरें आती रहती हैं. तूने कभी मेरी फोटो क्यों नहीं लगाई?’

She's all over it now. 😷

Half time. The girls take a Kit-Kat break.

Shipra maasi says: Sheela maasi marr gayi!

Simmi laughed throughout the bathing scene.

Lakshmi says daaru peeke ladki aayi, accha laga.

Mother wept when the girls elected Gangu girlboss.

Girls just wanna have fun.❤️ Image
