Shanbagappoo is a beautiful flower with a heady and lingering fragrance and Thija uses it as an apt metaphor in this story featuring a young woman and an older couple observing the sudden turn of events in her life. This story is rich with some of Thija’s quintessential and vivid descriptions that stay on with you much like the fragrance of the flower. Listen to the reading by Uma Shankari and the discussion between Uma and Samyuktha. Share your thoughts and comments.
