Good read

It was a good description of the south indian way of living. The story depicted painful emotions of a child who's parents are going through separation. On the downside, I felt it dragged a bit in the middle and then rushed by the end. It almost felt the writer is trying to wrap up and finish the story asap. I think writer could have expanded more on how the emotions of a young child transformed when Rocky turned into a an adult and then reflect back on how she felt about them when she was a child.
