Little White Pills I for one, took the story for what it was,eliminating the Indian/Paki implications, but would have preferred if the author had built a better understanding of the characters...otherwise i liked the idea.Calling back home was quite natural, if we take out the fact that it was to his mom (which as someone has suggested signifies the character to be a momma`s boy).Its natural, because whenever in trouble, or we are feeling low, we turn towards our roots.Anyways thats my two cents:))

Maut Ka Kuwaan (Well of Death) Rozaiba:

Wonderful read!

Really liked the description in the following para...

* * * * * * * * * * *

Sharmelee and Maulvi Assadullah remained in the embrace with the former weeping at having evaded death. The Maulvi, with arms still around her, tried to realize what had just happened but was unable to. The hormonally charged teens could only stare. The photographer took a barrage of pictures in what was a truly remarkable story for the chattering classes. Rozaiba felt as if he was somehow responsible. The crowd outside, who couldn’t see the accident, gasped at the sight of the figure present in their Maulvi’s arms. The only person who took the whole episode lightly was the 12 year-old man who began to laugh like a hyena, danced obscenely and started singing a lewd Punjabi-filmi song.

Keep writing!!
