It was ten o'clock in the morning. A car came and stopped outside the main court. An impressive middle-aged woman named Vasantiben Parmar got out of the car. The city's highly acclaimed lawyer. His presence only undermined the confidence of the opposing lawyer. His strong personality, confident eyes and accurate arguments frightened even the lawyers. He was accompanied by his assistant Katak.

As soon as he entered his office, Vasantiben asked for today's case schedule. "Mem is a new case," Katak told him. The narrow alley behind Hanuman Chowk. There was a pain in his eyes. But in order not to understand his feelings, he started wiping his glasses with the edge of his sari and said to Katak, "Today's case is in the afternoon and now I want to pay attention to it." Please order tea. Gee, mam kahi katak walked out. Vasanti stood politely in front of the mirror. It is as if you have to argue with yourself and start saying that the way of your life has changed from that narrow alley. So why the trouble? Again, he started beating flour in the office in Gamthal. He sat down in his comfortable chair and closed his eyes. His intuition drew him into his past. While it was not the famous lawyer Vasantiben Parmar but Masum who was fifteen years old.

Vasanti, who was getting ready for school in the morning, looked in the mirror, filled the ribbon with chotla and sang some song. Ma's voice was heard later. The spring star has placed a snack bar and a bicycle key here. Hearing the name of the bicycle, his face withered. What happens in the mind is to go on the same road once again. But he got out without saying anything and his bicycle crossed Hanuman Chowk and turned into a narrow alley. Sweat rolled down his face and what he had feared happened. As soon as a madman entered the narrow alley, he brought his scooter near him. He started approaching her from time to time to make dirty gestures against the small spring and started making dirty comments. Vasanti panicked. He had to endure this ordeal until the whole street was completed. As the alley was completed and the market started, he disappeared into the crowd.

For Vasanti this ten minute bicycle ride was like the torment of hell. He had to suffer this torture twice a day. On the way to and from school. This had been happening with Vasanti since last week, today she made up her mind and told her mother to give her this. With the hope that Ma will get him out of this predicament. But when I heard his words, I started getting angry at him. So now you have to build a rickshaw to go to school? You know, your father's waist has turned as soon as he deducted the tuition and tuition fees of both your brothers. That's what we teach you. Vasanti looked in front with something shocked and surprised. "I am studying in a government school," he said softly.

I get study books for free and I don't even have to pay fees. What happened if I stopped him in the middle? If you weren't studying today, you would work in a factory like that play girl and bring home two paise. But, no, you had to study. How many times have I told you that standing in the house with beggars, you don't even have to understand. Then I grabbed the flute's arm and said angrily, "Leave it and be aware if you have said anything to your father." She already has a lot of worries, and listens, she doesn't go to school for four or five days. Whatever it is, the aphids will get bored and age.

Vasanti says my exam is near, how can I study if I don't go to school? What is to be boiled down by speaking in anger? What is going to become a great lawyer or collector? Amasti also has to marry you in two to four years. Understand that such people are everywhere, learn to be quiet and tolerate a little, go do the housework. Vasanti was very disappointed. He could not sleep all night. She thought that the brothers were not interested in teaching at all.

He should get good school tuition, everything and everything in the house and study by himself, he should get good marks. So why isn't my mother interested in teaching him? Vasanti's small mind could not understand the difference between a son and a daughter. That is, learning to be quiet and to endure. Vasanti felt that she was all alone.

When Vasanti woke up the next morning, her father was leaving for masonry. The brothers went to school. Vasanti also finished her work and got ready to go to school. Seeing her getting ready for school, I said, will you go to school today? Vasanti said yes. My mother told him to go the other way if he had to go. Vasanti quietly took the bicycle and went out. He knew the other way was too long. If he goes, he will have to go the same way. So she moved towards the road in a panic. As Hanuman finished the chowk, he turned into a narrow alley and began to tremble with fear of spring. The madman again followed Vasanti with his scooter. Vasanti's silence had emboldened her. He went very close to her and tried to catch her.

Vasanti was terrified !! Gathering all the strength of his body, he started pedaling. But the bicycle was old, so the chain went down. Vasanti fell to the ground. Seeing him read like this, the madman gave a perverted smile in front of him. The madman walked away. Vasanti also reached the school by bicycle. It was a mouthful. Went to Kang's Miss Class ?? Were. Vasanti stood by the door. Kangna Mise called him inside. Lovingly, he turned his hand over his head and asked, "What happened, son?" Vasanti said, nothing Miss, the chain of the bicycle came down. She went and sat in her place. Kang's miss was turning her attention to Vasanti from time to time. His bloody knees are covered with dust and his face is covered with sorrow. The experienced eyes of Kang's Miss were seeing a lot. He had seen a lot of difference in Vasanti for the last ten days .She was quiet.

Vasanti's attention was not focused on teaching. Even now she was looking out the window with a sad lost look. Sitting in the staffroom in the recess, Kang was thinking only of Miss Vasanti. Deciding something, he sent Pune Raman Bhai to call Vasanti. Miss came in the Vasanti staff room and put medicine on her knee. And said, today your bicycle Raman Bhai will reach your house. I'll take you home on my Scooty for you. Vasantineto knows God met. He immediately said yes. Sitting behind Kang's miss while going home in the evening. And Vasanti was showing me the way to her house. As soon as the main market was over and the narrow alley started, Vasanti started flying. She put both her hands on Mem's shoulder loudly.

Her every move was watching in the mirror of Mem Scooty. As usual, the madman came. But he saw Vasanti sitting with someone on the Scooty. He got angry and started driving his scooter very close to the Scooty. Kang's miss immediately understood. Or what is happening He kept driving the Scooty at his own speed. The madman came closer to say nothing. That's why Kang's Miss Scooty took a break. And used all his strength to kick Pella's scooter. The madman slammed hard. Seeing all this, Vasantito became very happy. While leaving him at home, Kangana Mis said, "Vasanti has hit you on the leg, so tomorrow I will take you home. You don't take a bicycle. '' Vasanti immediately said yes.

The next day Vasanti and Kangna passed through that narrow alley on Miss Scooty. The madman came. But he did not dare to come close .Vasanti was happy today. Without it, trouble reached the school. Today again in the recess, Kangana Mise called Vasanti to the staff room. And he knew what he wanted to know. He took Vasanti with him and said very lovingly, Vasanti, why do we remember Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi? Vasanti immediately said, he fought against the British. He was a great warrior. He fought the war. So Kang's Miss said yes, that's true, but there was something special about Emma. They saw that it was extremely difficult for them to win this war.

The strength of the English army is a hundred times greater than their army. But he did his best to achieve his goal without fear. That passion is his self-esteem which gives him a special place .And every woman has Lakshmi Bai somewhere inside. What is needed is to discern the passion and bring it out. Then Mem said, Vasanti Chaal, today I want to show you something. And Kang's Miss took him to a small, seemingly old building. A lot of women, girls, college girls were given self-defense training here. Has been victimized many times.

All the little ones going to school. Different types of training are given here. So that the woman can protect herself. Here is a special type of spray that can be sprayed into the eyes. A special kind of pen that anyone playing feels like an electric tweak. These items are given to women for free. Because not all women can learn martial arts. Learning all these techniques takes a lot of time. Also a few self-defense maneuvers are taught. Vasanti was very happy to see all this. Decided to come here every day after school. As he left, Kang's mistress gave him a spray and a pen and said that no difficulty can defeat a person who fights silently. Today Vasanti was very happy.

The next day Vasanti took her bicycle to school. Hanuman Chowk was completed and a narrow alley started. But Vasanti was gone without any panic. The madman came and started riding a scooter near him. Vasanti suddenly braked and stood up. He looked back at Vasanti again. So many times Vasanti took the spray in her hand and rushed towards her with full force and sprayed it in her eye. Pella had severe inflammation in her eyes. Before he could do anything, Vasanti kicked him in the stomach. He fell to the ground screaming in pain. Leaving him there in agony, Vasanti returned to his bicycle. A triumphant smile appeared on his face. Today Vasanti does not have a crown on his head or a sword in his hand. But her passion was no less than that of the Queen of Jhansi.

The madman never saw her again in that alley. Vasantini rode the bicycle that tormented her in hell. She now began to give him the joy of joy and the happiness of success. The same Vasanti became the famous lawyer Vasantiben Parmar today. But even today she fights for free for women victims of ep teasing, sexual harassment, cyber crime against women, dowry etc. Vasantiben recognized and understood Lakshmi Bai hidden inside him.
