”Our journal follows a certain policy .”
”But truth is truth.”
”You write wives are being raped and beaten by their husbands constantly!..”

”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….”

”Oh! Come on ! You are always a hot bitch in bed and I love it.”
