A lot of interesting discussions. This story has taken a centre stage leaving rests a mile away. A great achievement for the author.

A stream follows it's course until forced or a relatively easier less resistance path is opened up. Can human life be compared with stream? What the readers think?

Based on majority reader's common perceptions let's assume

1. Krish is cuckold.

2. Meera loves her husband.

3. Meera's sexual extravaganza is solely to please Krish.

4. Meera is pushed to adultery by Krish.

Some interesting observations on Meera.

1. Meera almost committed first adultery without knowledge of Krish.

2. We have knowledge of some of Meera's encounters where Krish was nowhere in the field when the incidents occurred.

3. Out of all her sexual partners, only three are long termed and all three are over aged. They are very very rich.

4. Ashish was influential and a fantastic character. He was young. Meera didn't find him acceptable though Krish had acceptance. Meera had to quit job though with Das the treatment was different.

During all of her previous sexual encounters with other partners, Meera had never shown her concern about Krish. I presume, she had confidence in herself about her love as well as on Krish. However during night stay with Desai, she ventured out to inquire on Krish. What message she was giving to Desai? Was she testing Desai?

Is river changing it's course on its own? If that happens, it's too difficult to accept.
