Small Journey About Ankita Hanspal Life.
The journey was long and arduous. Ankita Hanspal was separated from her family, and living in a foreign land. She had no friends and no support. She had no knowledge of the language of her host.
And worst of all, almost everything she knew about herself was wrong.
The twelve-year-old girl was me.
My mother, a polyglot, had taught me to speak several languages. But at the age of twelve, I was no longer interested in practicing them. I was much more interested in boys, and in asking boys questions about what they liked and didn’t like.
One of the questions I had asked was, “Why are you so short?”
“I’m a girl,” my mother had answered, “and girls are supposed to be shorter than boys.”
“But I know many men who are taller than I am,” I said.
“Well,” my mother had told me, “that’s because men are stronger.”
“But you are stronger than I am,” I said.
“No,” my mother had replied. “Men can lift heavier things than women.”
I was puzzled. How could that be? My father, a mechanical engineer, had once lifted a load that was too heavy for me.
“It’s because women have smaller muscles than men,” my mother had said.
“Why is that?” I demanded. “If men and women have exactly the same muscles, then how can men lift more than women?”
“Because men are stronger,” my mother had said.
“But my father is stronger than he is,” I said.
“Of course he is,” my mother had replied.
