“It is what?”the man asked , naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is,” she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen . But the following week she received a call. It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one.
