Born with a silver spoon, she thrived in the ample space of her home that resembled a castle.

Living like a princess, she never had to bother about having a hustle.

Built in stone and archaic style, her home was surrounded by barbed wires.

She also had a guard dog who reminded miscreants of hell fire.

But then she had to move to an apartment with limited space.
