Last week, I was at Churchgate, outside a restaurant, where I met a young 14 year old girl, who was selling some goods, as a hawker. I asked her, whether she went to school. She said she did, but she sold these toys to make a living. I asked her, what she wanted to be, when she grew up, and she said that she wanted to be a doctor.
Yesterday, I was there again, and say a young girl selling flowers. I asked her, if she knew the young girl, who wanted to be a doctor, who also sold toys there, and she repeated to me, that she was that very girl.
I got lost in the 'debate' that you are not the girl I met last week. That was someone else. After I left, I realised, that although she may not have been that girl, she was like her, in the sense that she also had dreams, and dreams of becoming a doctor, and all she was doing, was trying to persuade me, that she wanted a future too.
