Sorry!<BR/>kids in this case might end up with leucoderma having read up on the disease being genetic.<BR/>I don't feel sorry for Parvathy; I am just glad she can share the rest of her life with a person and they can help raise the kids as a family. To hell with the norms or rules of society. Seriously if you can't help; just keep away is what I feel off late. Can't help be reduce the pain with understanding and support, one might as well not get involved at all. :DAparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459588797233471651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14833628.post-82634647343910090092008-09-25T18:17:00.000-07:002008-09-25T18:17:00.000-07:00Well, honestly midway through the story, I did thi...Well, honestly midway through the story, I did think Partvathy should marry Raja; raise the kids together. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/vitiligo-common-cause-loss-skin-pigment" REL="nofollow">Leucoderma</A> is just a skin disease. May be if Vani had diagnosed her cancer earlier, she could have been treated as well. I do understand as you said life has different strokes for different people. It is just that others mostly end up judging your actions and you eventually; not understanding what goes into each. Not everyone reacts to these strokes the same way.
