"Dhriti burst into laughter, ”Then you are one of the Strawberries and Cream Personality. You know, these people are introvert, easily made to feel guilty, irritable, cranky, and pessimistic. I read about this Flavor logy thing somewhere.” Hey Amber - Strawberry's my favorite flavor too , and with the exception of irritable (like when I dont get enough sleep :D), I am quite the opposite of what that "flavor logy" says - or so I like to think :) :P Enjoyed the story. I liked your narrative style and the way you have constructed the characters and the plot. And ooops looks like you touched some raw nerves (and I commend Samsara for speaking up - I wish more people would do that the way he does) . Caste/race/ethnic dynamics are some of the hardest things to potray in a story or other pieces of creative work. I have always wondered how a writer should draw the line between the behavior of one individual (or a number of individuals) and that of the rest of society when he or she writes a story that may step on cross cultural relationships and dynamics. Should a writer try to explicitly draw such a line (and risk distracting from the flow of the story) or leave it to the readers to interpret as they please (and risk his or her intentions being taken out of context)? There are arguments both ways and I will leave that discussion for another day. That said, I think I might now have an inkling for the thought behind the title. The lines are indeed getting blury and am waiting for the next part(s) to see where it all leads to. Good luck. :)
