There you go again. Another awesome piece. Smart authorship with Chitrika Fupu's outstanding wit. Humor is still alive while tedious rituals and meaningless flaunts bugging you.This makes your character so much interesting that we can't miss even a single word he says. I envy your ability to observe, analyze and explain people, remarks, events and actions down to the minor details. Creating those people, remarks etc so that the reader can comprehend them as you wanted is also your another expertise. Speaking about our tradition, I don't have knowledge resource and enthusiasm to explore the origin of all these rites. I don't know whether they are symbolic or scientific. I can't avoid those rituals because of that very fear of failure. And this fear is making me walk through the same sequence of events my dad went through. Eager to read more.
