That Aradhna, Ruchika’s friend should fight all these years against a hostile establishment so that her friend’s rape and suicide would not go unavenged…
That Aradhna should work so that the perpetrator of Ruchika’s violation and her family’s subsequent torture, SPS Rathore, should stand before justice and be punished…
That she should come all the way from Australia for judgement day, 19 years later, and stay on when the courts frustrated her fight once more…
That she should stop playing tennis, because every stroke would remind her of the grace that her partner Ruchika could bring to the game…
That’s more than what friends are for.
Luv ur pic. U look like a no-nonsense girl. New hair-do eh?
hey Ms.Calamity, welcome here! yeah, new hairdo. looks diff everyday though.
My salutations to Aradhana. People say true friendship is a lifetime investment, she has infact gone much beyond the lifetime of Ruchika. I dont have words to describe this friendship.
I was quite touched by Aradhana’s genuine commitment to make Rathore accountable when i saw the news item for the first time. (stayed away from the news item once the over kill started…at some level i think i didn’t want to see her make some media instigated dramatic statement, though he seemed quite level headed and true to her self)…
Unrelated, why don’t you write so sparingly here?
err, i meant ‘why do you write so sparingly here?’
