Does Nishit realize how snobbish he sounds in 'A Tiff of Sorts'? Though he does go on to explain that it is the lack of disability-friendly buses that led him to protest rather than a disdain for public transportation, somehow his initial reaction had me reading it in a disgust-filled voice.
Biplap's dramatic rescue had my heart go thump-thump. If there was ever a candidate for hero material, then it is Biplap. I do hope he is cognizant of how his actions may seem to a sheltered, disabled girl and reciprocates her dhak-dhak's to an extent.
On another note, has it been revealed in the previous chapters what caused Prasanna's disability? Had she been born without the use of her legs or was it caused by an illness. I am sure this has no bearing on the story at all, but I was just curious that you had a character that was disabled and that led to me wondering about her legs and the lack of their use.
I love how you brought out the complete disregard India has for disabled people. Nowhere I remember seeing disability-friendly buses or trains while growing up. Of course, it's been years since I've been on any Indian public transport and things may have changed now (at least, according to the Malayalam movie 'Bangalore Days', it has. If you haven't watched this one, I highly recommend it.)
I feel this chapter revealed another layer of Nishit. I actually saw him as not just an overprotective brother, but as a person who loved his sister deeply and wanted to protect the loved one from imagined, and perceived hurt. Woe betide Biplap if he ever hurts one hair on Prasanna's head.
