Sheldon,

Once again, your story held me spellbound and captivated. You managed to cover to many topics in so little time and it was all done so well.

Homosexuality ( sexuality in general also) and chemical abuse are not topics that south asians usually talk about or discuss within their households. Most south asian parents, it would seem, feel that by defualt, their children will be ``normal`` and not give them such ``issues`` to cope with. Lovely piece.

Zehra.
