Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Some improvements. But some glaring issues. Like my father pointed out, I clean forgot the atmospheric perspective.

I felt like a researcher on an observation trip among some native population. In front of me was a Aagri couple from the rural community at Diwa.

His wife was wearing a large amount of gilt or gold - I could not tell - jewellery. Her green net saree had gold, silver, purple and yellow flowers on it. She was past forty but carried herself well.
