``Alot of Punjabis (other communities too maybe) have this thing called watta satta, where the brother and sister marry another brother and sister set. I believe, it provides some sense of security.``
And exchange of hostages?

MonaSehgal:``They don`t marry out their cast let alone marry someone outside their religion. If someone dares to defy the community norms, the person is ostracised from it. That is how staunch they are. ``
Me: Wow, that can`t be too good. How many generations more before this starts to adversely affect them ?

Peace.

Pathan Mother?! I guess, you don`t know much about the Rajasthani (or the Rajputs) that is why this error. They don`t marry out their cast let alone marry someone outside their religion. If someone dares to defy the community norms, the person is ostracised from it. That is how staunch they are. Even in the Moghul era, they would marry their daughters to the Moghul royals but would never marry the sons for the fear of not being able to reproduce pedigree children in their family.
However, quite interesting.

This story is primarily written by Omer Rafique. I only provide some of the technical details, a few overviews, and a some ideas. It should be by Omer Rafique & Umair Raja, and not the vice-versa. So I will let Rafique answer the questions on where everything is going, and how he is pacing the story.
It is true that many of my replies are longer than each one of these chapter. However, writing an interesting chapter is twenty times as difficult as writing an uninteresting reply.

Umair,
Cessna Citation X is quite an aircraft isn`t it... I knew you would like it... I have been eyeing it for a very long time... eventhough there
isn`t even a ghost of a chance that I`ll ever be able to buy it. It is a the fastest Business Jet Mach 0.95, that I know, but I don`t know about the `fastest plane built without government dollars.`
But where the hell are you going with your story...

Romair,
Great going so far. Most of your posts are longer than this, so might as well submit larger chunks of your novel.
also
Rafi Quereshi sounds like Safi Quereshi, is this intentional?
Including San Rafeal is stretching Silicon valley too far.
[``Yet this small piece of land is the engine driving the whole US economy.``]
Duh!? Did you write this before 3/2000? which is when I sold my M3 and Vinod Khosla his Lamborghini and went into hiding from his investors. Smell the coffee dude, or do you still order your groceries from Webvan?

Needs more suspense to maintain continued high interest. This segment was possibly too short to thicken the plot.
We want more...
