Thank you Sharon, your article took me to a bygone age and past memories of my grandparents and aunts. Trust is no more and whatever little is left amongst families should be cherished. Guarded style of writing is normal in this part of the world where the value of life is the price of a bullet.
Sharon have you ever looked up "The Great Game". It started end 1700 with the railways and still goes on. Players and caste is different but the goal is the same.
