She wanted to be a renowned dancer.When she danced,one would instantly be reminded of a peacock dancing during rainy season.She danced like a swan ;completely engrossed in the act. Anna happened to be a girl of strange ideals; atleast the people of the remote village of Malappuram thought so.The narrow- minded people couldn't understand the feelings of Anna for whom sky was the limit.
It didn't last long.Unfortunately for Anna,dance was considered a taboo for girls in her backward village.Had she paid heed to the elders,the tragedy could have been averted.....
The village Panchayat asked her to stop dancing ; otherwise she'd have to face its repercussions........
Anna's parents forced her.They feared being abandoned by the society.
But Anna was unstoppable.The dance,the music,the rhythm was her life...............................................................The parents succumbed to the pressure..............................
....The charred bodies of three persons found were unrecognizable.
Yes, I am a Girl! I don't like fine clothes to refine myself. They give me beautiful looks- And take away my freedom to move. Give me coarse cloth so let me fly. I don't like fine clothes- Yes, I am a girl! I don't like bangles to adorn my arms. They remind me of restrictions- Without any question, all girls should imply. Give me tools to build new wonders. I don't like bangles- Yes, I am a girl! I don't like jewellery to define myself. They illuminate me for what reason- But I have the right to claim I am not a thing on display. Give me education so my identity I can portray. I don't like jewellery- Yes, I am a girl!
