Worlds Apart

Re: # 8

I find this response directed at my comments ajeeb...esp. considering several interactors have pointed similar observations...kindly comment about the work and not about the personal lives of the interactor, thanks.

Nembu has never tasted happiness so she cant believe such things happen in most unlikely places that she either forgot to look
or passed up on
or never knew existed

Re: # 6

Re: # 3

I don`t doubt that Pakistani men and husbands who are attentuated to their marriages exist-they do. However, in addition to your observations, this piece does not reflect the nuance and real interiority of marriage. Fast forward to three wonderful children later? Life does not work like that.

You need to factcheck if you are going to reference cultures/places you have not been. (`social services sector`...ouch!). Bit pink and fluffy for my liking. Also, I suspect, as far from reality as it gets. But nicely written and observed.

Nice fantasy anyway!

Good story. I thought it was going to end up as a `East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet` horror stories of forced marriages...but it didn`t! Also a bit too slushy for my liking but well written!
