Clad in a printed pink synthetic sari, Meena stands listlessly at the entrance of Lane 10 in Kamathipura, mixing tobacco and slaked lime in one hand, observing a couple of drug addicts arguing close by. A pinch of the well-mixed tobacco goes into her mouth. Of indeterminate age, her face may have been an asset a long time ago. A commercial sex worker, Meena was sold to one of the brothels several decades ago. Since then, she has lived in the lanes of Kamathipura, soliciting clients every day. Until last year, she had owned a kholi, but was forced to sell it after a developer forged documents and demanded that she leave.
