My Call Girl Friend


I know the title had created an anxiety in your mind. To reveal the same i need to tell in detail about west bengal. The beautiful state of West Bengal ......




During the period of the Vedic age Bengal was called Vanga and is said to have been inhabited by several groups of people belonging to various races. During the Mahabharatha period this area was divided into small kingdoms and principalities ruled by chieftains.The proximity to the sea also resulted in the influence with the foreigners -- the Portuguese in the early 16th century,followed by Dutch, French,Danish & British.


The British later brought forth the Dual system of administration In 1905 the English partitioned Bengal on the basis of religion. Calcutta remained the Capital of the British empire in India till 1911. After that the capital was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.It was transferred mainly because of the people of Calcutta & their habits. Lazy by birth !!!




After independence West Bengals economic & political theaters were dominated by Marxist,terrorists & trade union. Even if a meagre industrial & economic growth happened in the period of 1980s to 2000s it didn't do much in terms of GDP to the people of bengal.Iron & steel rose up as the main industry, followed by jute & leather.Kolkata emerged as an IT hub which embarked a hope for international exposure of the state.




The dilemma lied in the interiors of West Bengal. It never stayed focused in the agenda of government. It stayed idle with farmers & their cultivation. The farmers were too much exploited by the CPM mediators & localites that they could hardly earn much as the Jhameendars of other states.The interiors follow the same state now also.




I met Konkana during one of my 'Teach India' campaigns. She works in a contract of Rs 510 per day.She may handle 15 to 20 customers per day.Konkana got married 2 years before but her husband could do nothing but to sell her off to an industrialist in Kolkata for need of money.Even if she had escaped from the brothel she could find the way of a prostitute only. The most difficult way for a living.I could only pacify & advise her. My advises will do nothing for her.Shan't it do anything in future too.I gave her some knowledge on contraceptives & her baby's education.


She represent one among the exploited poor lot of bengal.May be thousands of ladies like her adopted the same job she had taken.That even made West bengal the host of Asias largest red lighted are!! My eyes got watered not by hearing the story of 23 year old Konkana but her words while I was leaving her "I have been with lot of men in my life..but not with a brother like you" Yes she may be detrimental to many,but at least for a second I loved her..a love from the core of my heart. Long live Konkana !!
