There was consternation in Heaven. The Divine Counsels had requested a meeting with the Devil’s Advocates over a technicality. “Technicality, my foot,” twittered the imps and the cherubs. “It is all about gender equality.”
Sulochana, the matron in charge of the Kosmic Kanya Klub (KKK), was having a tough time keeping her kanyas under control. In her time, Sulochana had been an apsara married to a gandharva called Chitragreev. She had spent a goodly number of years on Earth, carrying out Divine instructions.
Angira, one of the kanyas, came rushing in. “They are not even honouring the astrological configurations,” she blurted out in disbelief.
“I know, isn’t it blasphemous?” Mithra had joined the conversation.
Angira was swift to agree. “It is!! When I was born, they took me away from my mother the same day, saying that I had been born to become a widow. Any man who married me would die. Thus, to protect its citizens, the State could, and would, take me away.”
