I am not an attractive face and many refer to me as a woman who came from the jungles – coarse and dark skinned, frizzy unmanageable hair, weird potato body structure, average height, thick lips and a big nose. I am not a brainy either that I can impress people even with my intelligence. When people see me with my husband, I am laughed at, more often mocked at, and asked a repetitive question – “Sudha, how did you manage to get hitched? Was it some black magic?”
And
somewhere in their deep-dark question, buried a bitter truth.
15 years have passed, I have no children and there isn’t any spark to the relationship I share with my
husband, Shekhar. Marriage moved at a roller coaster speed, faking how
beautiful and wonderful it is on the social media and elsewhere.
