Mr And Miss Anita Sarkar

There she lied in a pool of blood in an unconscious state... with no one around to attend to her, with no one around to care for her.... and why should anyone care..?? For she had given birth to another girl to add to a brood of 5 girls and 2 boys.... Slowly she gained consciousness, cleaned the baby... and realized there was something scaringly weird about the baby... she received a sudden bolt from the blue when the reality that her baby was born neither a male nor a female dawned upon her.


Her heart would never accept that her child would grow up into what society terms as an eunuch. And she cried as everyone else showed false sympathy.


But this story is not about her, but her baby whom she lovingly named Anita. Anita was a  playful and chubby child having equal number of friends from both the sexes, and would find it extremely difficult to understand why people treat her so differently... her mother would weep silently away from her child, hating herself all the more for giving her child such a world which gave nothing more than hatred, insult and contempt..


One day, a gang of eunuchs came to their village for begging... and they insisted that anita be given to them, as she belonged to their community. And the villagers too forced the family to oblige with the gang.


And the unthinkable happened......... Anita had to go with their gang.


Slowly days passed by, and anita's parents left no stone unturned to search  for  their  child and were  finally successful in doing so with the help of some local goons.


They brought their child home, made her finish schooling with great difficulty.


And today she teaches kindergarten kids in a local school and is lovingly known as Anita Miss. She still is reluctant to live without the  fear of being abducted by the gang again, is very conscious about the beard that keeps growing on her face denying every faint feminine feeling to her, and equally conscious of her female features that make her continuously  face the cruel reality that she hangs somewhere in between, that she is neither a man nor a woman.


But she at least lives with the satisfaction that she is not a burden on her parents, and is proud to have got such loving parents.




Guys, I may be horrible at story telling.. but is our society fair and just to everyone...?? we may hear a resounding yes from the urban population.... but the fact is we need to do something concrete and meaningful for this section of society for they too are born with every human feeling.
