BLACK SATIRE
AN ANGLO INDIAN WEDDING RESTS ON SOCIAL MANNERISMS
AND EVIL BETRAYAL
The next day the sun rose like liquid gold, the burning rays of the summer had been cooled by the monsoon rains. The bats were coming in to roost on the banyan tree near by, their fluttering and raucous cries filled the bright morning air, adding to the excitement Norah felt, as she sat up in bed and stretched.
She put on her housecoat and walked out onto the veranda, she smiled as she watched the colony of these little black creatures, jostling with each other. Each trying to find a niche on the branch where they would hang till the night came once more.
