Sitara - Very nice piece. Well written. Your reference to an "aquiline nose" reminded me of Samrat Upadhyay's "The Royal Ghosts" - he too has used that phrase to describe lots of noses in that book :). Although, as I imgaine, this is fiction, there are important socio-political conclusions people can draw from the story and you have done a great job piecing the two together. Great stuff - keep it up!
