Having spent much time in India over decades ,& having the privilege of many close connections with people & families of different social & religious beliefs & all that such relationships entail, I was easily transported into every moment.

Not just a 'story' for me but a remembered 'feeling experience' of the nuanced complexities of even the seemingly simplest of lives.
The expression of Thritys' effortless weaving of the humans who characterised this tapestry of love in all its forms, from careful , mindful , protective suspicion where cultural edicts bind its elder characters to their strong but restrictive beliefs , across to the quietly respectful bridge on which the younger 3 women have learned to walk in this new India...is something I have observed & been privy to in my own time so graciously shared within the day to day lives of Indian families who welcomed me into their lives.
Very poignant unfolding of Kismet, fate & destiny.
Serendipitous meetings of seemingly unlikely individuals who come to deeply feel & understand that they , may all have more in common & much to contribute to one anothers humanity & wellbeing than their own cultural prejudices at first, allow.

This is for me a reminder of how short & precious our lives are & how too often & too easily , we can shut out our love & compassion over a real or imagined 'slight' only to carry this burden through to the ends of out lives & living uncomfortably with this regret.
The message here for me , is that love & affection portrays itself in many varied ways & that I am reminded to give generously of my own caring feelings as consciously as I can & receive with awareness & appreciation whatever comes back to me in return.
Thank you Thrity for your depth of empathy & to our reader Sneeha for her expression of the words that are the tapestry of this story of lives we can feel as if they were our own lived experience.

A tapestry of the subleties of human connection.
