Also, mama..if my GK is right Mumbai airport is Chatrapati Shivaji Intl airport. I guess you a big fan of Gandhi family? Get it right before Shiv Sena puts your blog on fire. Jai Maharashtr...

Sis is pickin him up anyway - no particular reason why parents didn't come. 2. Priya's educational background is superfluous to the story. The intent of Rakesh's background was to explain why he was away for 3 years. [I generally avoid flab in my stories] 3. When I built up the scene, I didn't want the reader to imagine that they were sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, arms on one another like typical lovers. 2 ft distance, and that would be stranger-like. 1 ft distance suited the story - giving enuf clues but not giving it away :) 4. ....let's see...why specifically August 16th 2008 - coz, that's rakshabandhan day this year :) 5. Am sooo sorry...reply ichedanu, ivallo repoo..aapeyadam uddesam kaakapoyina, ghoramayina anyaayam neeku...nenu reply ichedanu sure ga! @Pavani – haha, thanks! too many surprise short stories kill the fun, so not every short story might end up in a twist :)

Why did their parents not come to the airport? 2. What was Priya's educational background? 3. Why exactly '1-ft' distance? 4 .... 5. kashtapadi raasina adhrustam/dhuradhrustam email sequelni dharunamga aapadam nyayama??
