SMART GIRL( single -page stiry )
===========
1940-s summer time in Bengal ; Calcutta , well -packed bus
The smart girl returning home ; after winning a college Debate
the ladies seat by her side yet emptywas
A middle -aged weak man ( perhaps from hospital )
asked ; if he could seat .
-' Dont'y you see this for Ladies , Sir'-- she demanded
' but if you allow---'; and could not finish ----
' Go ahead please "--- welll she spoke with Smart accent
The nervous man stepped ahead ;
No match for a Debate - winner of English -Medium- World.
She was enjoying her Ego and personality sharp
and was ruminating her orations while debating with style !
***** *****
She was back home --long tome and after refreshing was enjoying now
the novel she was half through and now the evening rolled down .
'But why dad is not yet back ' ---- she asked her mother wondering
Just then the bell rang and father entered in now
with a head- bandage stained with blood !
-'what happened to you Dad ' -- she almost cried !-----
'Nothing ; you don't worry my girl, so much
the educated girls, these days are so rude and almost without heart
I asked for the seat beside her in the speeding bus
She told me --'go ahead ; it's Ladies seat and sternly rejected my urge
These are now the educated type --------what !! what happened to you m my girl
it is not much hurt that is paiful to me --- but .....well,where you goingso fast '??
The daughter ran and left the room crying ; father did not know
where was the wound and who was hurt more than him that day does anyone else know !
