"I thought I could comfort you, when you said that your family was too controlling and orthodox. I wanted to think that your family was the problem but I was wrong. You are the problem, Miss Seshadri." **** "As the word goes now, seems like the wild one has been tamed." **** "You aren't mute, Tanu. I have spoken to you before, in case you forgot." **** A short story based on two Indian-origin individuals, from affluential families, in the 1960s Texas and their short-lasting encounter, in the midst of religious and societal orthodoxy and moral boundaries.
