The voice of Silent suffering

''What is it?'', Sulekha asked Amar.
''Silent suffering! My story!!'' Said Amar.
''Our journal follows a certain policy .''
''But truth is truth.''
''You write wives are being raped and beaten by their husbands constantly!..''
''...And they have converted into the machines of child production and forced to carry children like...'', said Amar.
''The policy of our journal is to show the brightest parts of India...like fashion, lifestyle, movie, sexual scandals ...'' Sulekha said quickly.
''India is a country of villages. And the source of this story are villages, Gandhi Ji would believe in villages.''
''Then you must work in a vernacular Journal'', she lost her temper.
'' I am a country dog...but I want to bark in English. Have you ever seen the real conditions of Indian women? '', said Amar.
"I am the editor of this journal. I want to lead it in French style. It is sold in affluent society.''
''...Who never want to read about these Indian women....''
"No discussion. I will not publish it,'' she said emphatically.
' I have done my work, now it is your choice.''
"Never!''

"Darling! I have bought a good book of Tantrik sex,'' Raman said to Sulekha in the bedroom.
''I am not interest in it now. I need some space '' She told in a tired tone.
''Oh! no, You are always experimental with sex. Your sexual articles are read widely. My all friends say that I am very lucky to get a wife like you. Let us try this book. You will get some unique experience for your readers,'' He held her.
''But I am not ready for it, ''
"A woman can be aroused anytime with man's fingers, I know you always love my fingers around your body,''
''Please, I do not want it right now.''
''But I am very much excited about the book.'' He entered his hands under her clothes.
''Stop it.''
''Oh! Come on ! You are always a hot bitch in bed and I love it.''
''But I do not want it now.''
''I do not care. When a woman says no, it means yes, '' he said and took her in arms.

''Amar! I want to publish Silent suffering,'' Sulekaha said to Amar.
''Thanks.''
''But you have to rewrite it. I want to add more truth of the Indian women. ''
''Wonderful! ''
''The women of affluent society have liberty to abort unwanted child or use contraceptive. Would you mind to re-write this story?
''Of course not.''

'Sulekha!! You are the editor. You know our policy. We are not in favor of publishing such stories,' Mr. Joshi, the owner of the Journal, said to Sulekha, showing ''the Silent suffering.''
''But it is the truth.''
" Editorial board wants to remove you.''
''I will resign.''
''No, Our readership has increased dramatically. You have done a great job.''
''But what about policy ?''
''We are changing it. Under your guideline this Journal will be the Voice of silent suffering.''
The End.

I think you should read "The Corridor" by Sarnath Banerjee. I would highly recommend it, because you'll love it!

Hi !
I searched a lot about Sarnath and The Corridor. It is a delhi based story. I am not in mood to purchase that book from any book stall. I always purchase books from roadside shop, not from corridor....I will search him on the road side undoubtedly....I love the road writers....and I love the road book. I am not in mood to pay for delhi story, because I have seen a lot stories in delhi. I have read most of the Russian books from roadside, paying only ten to fifty Rs/. I have a wonderfull collection of Russian books in Delhi, so I am fade up with books. Mumbai does allow me to read. In spite of it I try my best to read. God knows how I am doing it and how I am reading. can I get this book on net? I have tried my best to get it on net.
