SL - "Whoever said poligamy was out of fashion! " LOL!! Yeah, its "gamy" that's out of fashion not "poli", no? :P Sitara - I am not sure what exactly you mean by "magical realism kinda-wanna-bes" but based on my reading so far of the book, it is anything but. But I suppose one man's khasi-ko-masu is another man's cardiological nightmare and two people can look at the same thing in very different ways, ya? :)
