Lily on the Northern Sky - Aurobindo Ghosh - Bog

Lily on the Northern Sky are images of human behaviour and a humble narration of existential paradoxes, though, without love and emotion, life becomes meaningless. Superstitions must not supersede our living being. 'Twins in the womb' gives a classical narrative of the killing of a girl child who resists dying. In the womb of the mother, when the sister asks her brother, 'You go first, dear brother, They will be happy to get a boy. Then I come to be overlooked, Perhaps I shall not die as a coy.' She puts a question mark on the very existence of womanhood. Similarly, the girl 'Laxmi' who was born and brought up on the platform of a railway station and destined to become mother at the age of fifteen, finds hyenas everywhere. 'Alice' has described how 'Fooling others' is a big-time lucrative profession in India.
