PART XIII

It's no secret that I'm #TeamKabir! He cuts quite the romantic figure: Meet-cute in the bookstore, a date on the lake to the Taj-Mahal-like edifice, the dashing figure he cuts in his cricket whites...What do I have against Haresh? Principally, pettily, it's the fact that he chews betal nuts.That red juice staining his teeth, the ugly chewing/spitting...To me, it represents his crudeness & provincialism despite his education & ambitions.
