AYE SHIVANI TU SAB KI HAI NAANI.........



Do not express surprise, awe and wonder when the woman you disdainfully classified as a doormat; boring and stereotypical "Bharatiya Naari" as well as a snivelling "Behenji" proves to be all this and a lot more besides........
Meet one such archetypal "boring" housewife Shivani 35; who is the living embodiment of the much caricatured typical housewife donning traditional Gujarati sarees and being contented with her blissful domestic scenario and convivial and congenial family environment........
So much for one side of the coin; now for the other side; Shivani also happens to be one of the 1,800 "friends of women and children" (super sleuths) appointed by the CID branch of the Gujarat Police and entrusted with the onerous responsibility/task of gathering substantial and life altering intelligence that reunited three Ahmedabad teenagers who happened to be missing from home and hearth for periods varying between 2-8 months or so.........
Highlighting and exhorting one of her numerous sterling and heroic exploits; a senior police officer says that "Shivani not only aided and abetted the parents of a 16 year old girl who had gone missing from Ahmedabad;s Sardar Nagar locality in filing a police complaint but also managed to trace her whereabouts to a remote Saurashtra village where she was kpet confined by the man who had "bought" her for the pithy sum of Rs. 1.30 lakhs from her kidnappers"..........
While another senior official somewhat hesitatingly revealed the news about Shivani playing an instrumental role in locating and rescuing two other minor girls: a 13 year old girl from the soiled clutches of her kidnappers in Bhind (Madhya Pradesh) as well as a 16 year old from Pune........
"in all the afore/above mentioned three cases; Shivani provided the CID branch with significant clues about the identities of the kidnappers (who were apprehended in all three instances) as well as traced down the exact and precise location/s of the victims", the senior official concludes.........
One being questioned why she (Shivani) prefers donning the nondescript role of an archetypal housewife and becoming a part of the furniture; Shivani candidly admits that she is forbidden from revealing her true identity and name as she mostly works beneath the surface or then in secret almost always and also because to the omnipotent and omniscient threat/danger to her life as a result of the role played by her in ensnaring many a "crime lord"...........
Did I hear someone say or remark; :there goes yet another stereotyped and unremarkable housewife who leads a less than ordinary life".........
