Why do you do this to your poor readers?
why do people do this to me....
it is all part of life's infinite challenges.
when you think you have major comples life, then this kind of thing puts lot into context.
i have not even written about how vulnerable the kids may be to HIV. how much trauma it is to see one's mother dying. the feeling of helplessness.
and podhakkuraikku (in the middle of all this mess) the reckless fight for property.
not pretty.
Really not pretty.
Life is always complex. The more you try to simplify things, the more complex they get.
This one reminded me of the saying - I stopped complaining about having no shoes until i saw someone with no legs.
