About this ebook
A Few Words
It is an undeniable truth that we cannot recognize any person after just a few meetings. But as the encounters increase and we interact more with new acquaintances and observe their lives closely, we get to learn a lot about them.
This story of ours describes a true incident that happened in the life of an Indian educator, Meena.
When that educator meets another woman educator and social reformer in that foreign city, she is very impressed and admires her a lot. Indian art and culture have had a significant impact on that woman's life.
But then there comes a day when our Indian educator's illusion crumbles and only tears remain.
