Happiness In The Midst Of Pain

Gauri Sawant is someone with strong self belief.

Hates it when people pity her.

In the world ruled by men and women fighting for their rights,

She couldn't even be the spectator.

She was treated like an outsider,

Like she just doesn't have an identity.

But that didn't stop her from feeling someone else's pain.

A pain of a little girl and her helpless mother.

It takes a lot to understand someone else's pain,

It takes even more to put yourself through it.

It was not just about calling the mother and the child 'poor them'

It needed a change. It needed to change

Gauri adopted that girl and hence sowed the seeds of aajicha ghar*

A safe haven for the girl children of sex workers,

A happy place away from stone-hearted world.

This is the story of a transgender,

A transgender with strong self-belief,

Who hates it when people pity her.
