(Patna) “I have studied designing and am preparing for competitive exams. I want to do management. I am facing a lot of challenges. I lost my father in July last year. My mother is all alone so she wants me to get married as soon as possible. Even I want to settle down but I want to continue studying too. Had my father been here, I could have easily convinced him.”

(Patna) “I work as a domestic help. My husband left me when our children were very young. I have raised my two sons on my own.”

                                                   (Patna) “I take care of new born babies.”

(Patna) “I am a mehendi artist. Sometimes I get 10 people in a day and sometimes no one comes for 2-3 days. I have been putting mehendi for last 15 years. I was the first person to start in this market place. The shopkeepers around are very helpful, they keep my stuff in their shops when I leave in the evening.”
