“Saugandhi wished she could spend all of her life in a box like that so that those on the outside could continue looking for her. sometimes the should be able to find her, so she could in turn become the seeker. The life she had led these last five years also constituted a type of hide-and-seek. Occasionally she found someone and often someone found her -- her life continued to progress in this manner and she was happy. Every night there was a man by her side on the large teak bed ans she, show knew many tricks to keep a man at bay. she who had resolved not to let any man take advantage of her, she, Sangandhi, overcome by emotion, would find her resolve diminishing and would begin to flow with her emotions and this remain, to the end, a woman insatiated.”
