in the news

there was mention of a couple who had fallen in love but were unable to marry because they belonged to the same gotra. so they eloped, only to be put to death soon after by their relatives. in fact, they were fed pesticides, tied up, and thrown into the canal.

the news was not shocking, no, because one is no longer surprised to hear of tales that belong best to times long gone. still immensely tragic, is it not?


i have to admit i was not aware of what gotra meant, before i read this article, let alone know my own gotra. every day one learns something new. i am now on a mission to discover all my brothers and sisters across the world.

um... yeah...
