"Harsha stood before the ceremonial fire. She was in the middle of her wedding ceremony. All of a sudden it seemed to Harsha that time stood still and she could look down and observe everything.
She had the very strange senstation that she was living out a destiny; that this day was part of a life that was somehow all set out for her. She would soon have children, she would move to a nice house, she would not do all the tings she had dreamt of but she would have a good life as a mother and then grandmother.
