story on the news came as a pleasant surprise
Answers
The news came as a pleasant surprise. I was full of excitement and very queer to see the new born baby next door. My Mom told that our neighbour, Shanti Bhabhi had given birth to a little fairy, the lakshmi of the home, a baby girl. But suddenly this happiness curve on my face disappeared with the thought of her husband. Shanti's husband, Raju bhaiya who was not a good man. A drunkard by nature, he had never provided that space to his wife and his male chauvinism was fiercely aggressive. I once heard his words in the street to the little daughter of our neighbours that studying and playing doesn't suit girls. They are meant for bangles and making rotis, just like a common male chauvinist. The prevailing awareness of the maltreatment of girls in the media, shook me again. I just wished that this liitle fairy should not face such a treatment and should be brought up on an equality basis with the sons of the same house. But somewhere in the heart the thought took place so firmly that I went to Shanti Bhabhi's house and what I saw next was unbelievable. I saw Raju Bhaiya with his little daughter in his hands and saying that he wished to grew his daughter with all the best education that he can afford. The love and incredibility of the moment rolled down tears from my eyes. I got back to my home relaxing that really the little fairy has brought happiness and a positive change along with a pleasant surprise.
