...Kalpanaa, a beautiful comment from Lee Mckenzie:<br /><br />I loved the setting and the atmosphere you created with this piece. It was a perfect place and feeling for your story. I was delighted to read it and I loved so many of your descriptive phrases, but your opening paragraph was perfect: It was a house, just like any other on that street, with wooden eaves, a red tiled roof, within the surprise of the polarity of the dark furniture against the gleaming brass. The air filled with the bouquet of herb-enhanced-sesame oil, not unpleasant, with a scent of healing about it.

It's so evocative with the excellent use of the senses along with the rituals. 'the monsoon mists spray the air...' You've given us further understanding of a world we don't know about.. You've raised questions regarding how the elderly might think, giving us a small taste of the rituals of ancient people with the way historical knowledge is shared from generation to generation. The ending is gorgeous.
