As usual, another great piece. Giving these situations a REAL perspective.


A suggestion - Increase the font size of the title of the post, it's almost invisible! :)

thought u would have reacted to the flood scam before this one- oh well, shattered dreams and shattered livelihoods not to forget that some homes were shattered too not long ago in mumbai...

sqrl/NT · 4 years ago

hmm interesting.. it appears as though u prefer the dance bar profession to the extra..

Nice post! U shud campaign for the cause... and prolly send the story to a newspaper! :)


Yes you do need to increase font size... Using explorer, n its still painful on eyes! :(



do they find a way out? Does sth nice happen?



Why does fate always seem to win between fate and free will? :(

Arrey Yaar Manu - where's your great imagination buddy - they start a dance school, and the women power NGOs give them funding, and they churn out amazing talents, and NDTV covers them and then they do a show for the president and... whew I am exhausted.
