Aviatorchick-- Well done for your first attempt! It was way too short for me :) Just as I was getting comfy it ended.. Hope to see more of your writings in the future. It is very unfortunate that the media feeds into the whole idea of "light complexion" is beautiful..luckily it isn't that bad in Nepal as it is in India. Like Homeyji said..I'm sure a lot of us can relate to your Ashma.
