Many of my group of friends, all from Bangalore, have commented on how they knew similar subjects that Ms Mushtaq writes about. A friend of hers tells me she is a humble and lovely person.
All my women friends have loved her work. All my male friends have lamented about how sad they felt reading her works. A few of the more emotionally attuned of them said they feel such shame at the patriarchy and helplessness portrayed.
I loved phrases such as: baba suit, 28 out of 24 hours, it is not like that, blow a whistle and direct traffic.
