The author successfully weaves the story around the relation between a middle aged woman and a young man which is destined cause pain as well as pleasure to both. The story reverberates the predicaments in such a potentially explosive relation in which the boundaries between friendship, emotional dependence, flirting, love and lust are drawn deliberately diffused by the protagonists for the convenience of reducing their own guilt. The high point of the story lies in the author�s attempt to analyze the relation from the perspectives of all the key stake holders, including the daughter of the woman and the mother of the young man. The final decision to keep the relation stunted in the present form while allowing it to grow into a spiritually higher echelon appears pragmatic.
Incidentally, I had read this story in another web magazine named Chintha a few months ago.
Anyway, the story is excellent.
