I was 7

I was about 7 years old (in winter of '97). We lived in a safe (supposedly) railway colony, in Lucknow.

Maybe I wanted it. But I was five.

I was between the ages of five and six, sometimes it's hard to remember. It happened for quite a while and in my head, time stopped making sense. All I can really remember is it happening over and over again. I used to live in Mumbai, in Andheri East. ...

I was at a party, pretty drunk so I had the need to sit down and close my eyes a little bit. I fell asleep for no more than two minutes and I already had one "friend" grabbing my breast while filming. I was shocked and asked what ...

As is my wont, I placed my school bag on my lap and sat down in the window seat.

I was in secondary school in Madras .  I used to take a bus number to reach a stop and walk to my home. On that particular afternoon, the bus was fairly crowded and I got a seat near the bus stop. The person next to me was my teacher ...
