I've read your two lovely stories within a few days and you've proved that you can cover a diverse range of subjects. I guess you were raised in Kathmandu but you have a good idea of how hard life is for women in rural areas still today. I wasn't expecting ramesh to marry bhagwati but you cleverly made him do so with her beautiful smile . "the only intimate moment shared was at night and that too without any demonstration of feelings from bhagwati", god, i love this line.. Rhythm, do keep on writing more and have a lovely holiday weekend!
