Life is a gamble between
fortunes and misfortunes There are people who are fortunate and prosper And others whose lives are shattered by misfortunes I still don't know in which category we belong By 'we' I mean Nila, Nancy, Ganga and I I, Revathi Nambiar am a TV channel reporter 4 isolated women This is the story of our fortunes as well as misfortunes lam Nila Lucky to have married the man I'd been in love with for many years Love is like a mountain climb, the thrill ending when you reach the top It's a just small misstep to fall into the depth of a hell called divorce I am Bhavya No...Now Nancy I never regretted convening from my religion to that of my lover Not only that, today prayers are the only relief in my life I used to think the mother-in-law tortures seen on screen were only injest But just one month of married life I realized they were all a reality Shibin who is in the USA hardly ever calls these days Divorce is his latest demand I try to console myself that my faith will save me Girls are beautiful, be happy and laugh only for a brief period in their life time It was only a brief life span like that of a colorful butterfly Among us, the owner of such colorful days belonged only to her She was our most favorite person in life Ganga Now, coming to me My profession gave me the wings to freedom in life In fact, what rescued me from a first broken love affair... ...was the thrilling chase after stories and scoops for the TV channel A live-in relationship with a colleague and moving on contentedly in life... ...I was proud of my mature decision But...! Get out woman! I know we have the freedom to move out of this relationship any time We had agreed upon it But I can't Please, don't hurt me I will go Just give me 2 minutes Each one of us had a hidden volcano inside us But when the 4 of us came back to the apartment... ...we carried on with the little joys in life I know we have the freedom to move out of this relationship any time We had agreed upon it But I can't Hello No I will call later Ours was a much stronger lover-affair We got married without our parents knowing I even convened for his sake What an affair it was! 5 long years...Romeo and Juliet Now do you know what he says He has no sexual feelings with me alone Modern love, no restrictions Living together for 5 years It was only to get what he wanted without spending money... ...which he tells me 5 years later Nowl am neither here nor there My loved one's hobby is to send me pictures of him with other girls in town And you want to be in love?! Like this we made Ganga back out of that affair We even got her a different phone number Although it was difficult at first she accepted and adjusted by and by What happened? Will it work? No! Our channel will do nothing based on your information The other party is tightening screws in higher places ls there no other way? Your 'quotation' job is dirty But ours is dirtier than that I often wondered which was better Forget it sister Please see my name doesn't come in If that viper comes to know I am finished okay That was the day when Xavier, Nancy's husband's cousin... ...came forward to solve her problems Hey!
