'Come Dhara...Don't be shy!!!' Shobha Kaaki called me yet another time while I stood at the door of her bedroom. I was feeling a little hesitant. Subroto Kaaka had to let go off his comfort for this ritual. I insisted that I'd sleep seperately but they wouldn't let me. Apparently during our dinner time, I tried to convince them but they had a lot of orthodox beliefs. When I said I didn't believe in such things Beena Maa said 'You may not Dhara!!! But we do. You are a newly wedded beautiful bride and it's believed that evil forces always eye newly married beautiful brides. And you are so pretty Dhara' Shobha Kaaki said as she took a little kohl from the corner of her eyes and made a little dot behind my left ear warding off evil. I blushed.
