You ask me what is wrong with me? I'd reply I am fine... Because I really am My reflection is perfect for me... I am more than a face. I am more than just physical beauty. I am that fire which will someday burn down this typical society..." ________________ Anindita; her name means 'beautiful and virtuous' She has been the center of her father's universe and the reason of her mother's smile.
