she asks,

'' unke saath nhi jayenge''

''rahim chacha kehte hai ki abb mujhe kabile se alag apni duniya banani chahiye..... tumhe toh pata hi hain main kabile ka hissa toh hu par tribla community nhi hu.... toh chacha chahte hai ki main apni duniya basau''

she questions with a little amusement,

'' apki english toh kafi achi hai''

I laugh a little and say,

''tumhe kya lagta hai main padha likha nhi hu''

she immediately shakes her head and fumbles,

''nhi vo matlab nhi tha mera main toh bass.... vo kabile mein ... kaise...bas vohi...''

I reply,

''12th standard first division se pass kiya hai maine..... rahim chacha ne kabhi koi kami nhi chodi''

'' app agge kyon nhi padhe''

'' college thoda affordable nhi tha........ bss usi karn reh gya''

she sits straight and asks  a little curiously,

'' apko kis cheez mein interest hai''

'' Maine 12th non-med mein ki thi''

'' really!!! ''

I nod and she says,

'' phir agge ka kya socha tha''

'' ikk dost tha usne kaha ki diploma krlu vo thik rehta hai''

'' waah shiva!!! app ko apni studies continue krni chahiye I am sure app bhut acha karenge''

I smile at her and ask,

''tumhe kis cheez mein interest hai''

she chirps

''Maine 12th arts mein ki thi kio kii mujhe painting mein interest hai..... 12th ke baad main fine arts mein BA kar rhi thi par......''

I knew she could feel me staring at her she was fumbling with things and just trying to maintain her composure. I take a step forward.
