Retirement, love, ambition, refuge: What a night shelter in Delhi provides women

Sitting on the floor for she does not want to dirty the mattress, Dhanyabai holds her leg and narrates her trouble. She had apparently entered the premises of the night shelter with wet feet after coming back from the toilet; and the caretaker had scolded her for that. "At this age, I have severe problems in my knee, and if they tell me to get up again and clean, how do I do it?" complains the 62-year-old.
