I saw a woman drowning yesterday. Bit by bit. Slowly but surely. Losing herself in an attempt to fit in, be accepted by the husband and his family. I saw how the guilt was being overlaid on her everytime she wanted or said anything in accordance with her beliefs or preferences.She was being too 'aggressive'. Anything which defined her was not acceptable.This woman and her husband are well educated, well employed, urban Indians. It is heartbreaking to see this in the 21st century.
