Sold- 7th Post
Lakshmi continues making friends with the girls. She meets Anita. I fell bad for Anita. She tells Lakshmi about the time she tried to run away. Auntie Mumtaz had these guys called goondas to find her and bring her back to the house. They disfigured her face. This reminded me of another novel I am reading. It is called "A Fine Balance." It is based in India, and the author uses the word goondas, too. From reading both novels, I have learned that goondas are not the type of people that you would want to mess with. I can only imagine how terrified of them Anita was. Pushpa is another girls Lakshmi talks to. She has two children that live in the house with her. It is interesting that Lakshmi can make friends is such a depressing situation. She is strong and tries to make the best of things.

I've never heard of the Goondas before. That's cool how you have a bit of cross over from each novel. Total coincidence, but really neat.
Again, you mention other characters like Pushpa & her kids, but don't elaborate. This post could/should be longer, and when it comes time to put a grade to the blog it's posts like this, or missed opportunities to explain characters that make it so that I have to deduct points.
