Once upon time there a lived a family in the Slopes Hilka. The nam.docx
Once upon time there a lived a family in the Slopes Hilka. The name of the family was Feroze. Feroze family had a daughter whose name was Sasha. Sasha was beautiful and full of life. She was the light of the family. She was eloquent, and had glimmer in her eyes that could send men asking many questions. She was the love of that village. In fact many men admired her even the older men. Sasha used to go to her daily practice of choir lessons she enrolled in six years ago. She used to sing. Her voice was sweet as that of a bird. One day on her way to her station, I met her and as usual became curios and also we interacted. She was the prettiest girl had ever seen. Sasha became curious about and that she had not seen for a while. We talked for a while and made a promise to meet again the next day on the same spot.
The next day came, I was already at the usual place waiting for her. I was lost in love. She had taken all my senses and captured my attention. After a short period she approached and, there she was angel of all angels. This was the day to propose to her because I had no minute to waste. We greeted each other, talked a little and there I gathered all my courage and proposed to her. I had to go an extra mile and seduce her. The girl was quiet for a moment, and she moved few stepped ahead of me. My heart sunk in disbelief. As I was contemplating how to rise up and carry my heavy heart, she ran back to my and embraced me. There I pulled her and hugged her closely. She whispered, “I love you too”. I was the happiest person. I felt like the only man alive at that moment.
The word about the affair spread like wildfire in the bush. Soon I was summoned by my parents about the illicit affair. My mother was a staunch Christian and she was furious. This is because had eloped with my little “flower’’ was Muslim. I personally created excuses that she was just a friend but the village snitch had captured all the information about our secret meetings.
I was warned and the parents of Sasha also intervened. They also were against the affair. I had loved her and I knew she felt the same. The only thing that kept the spirit was that I tried to be adamant but I ended up losing.
Two weeks later I was taken to high school in another state. This was the end. Though I could not shed more tears, she was the one who wept but no one was on her rescues. The once love, lively story that Sasha and I dwindled and finally ended.
The narrative.

Ice candy man
Bapsi Sidhwa's novel Ice Candy Man presents a feminist perspective on the partition of India in 1947. Through the character of Lenny, a young handicapped girl, Sidhwa narrates the story and highlights the suppression and marginalization of women in a patriarchal society. Several female characters like Lenny, her Ayah, mother, and Godmother are depicted as strong yet face exploitation by men. The novel captures the violence and brutality faced especially by women during the religious riots of partition. It provides a neutral view of the events and their impact on inter-community relations, in contrast to male-authored works of the time.
