Chapter 11: Look after your buttons

1. Do you think Prakash Rao was right in giving his wife all what she wanted?

Well, I don't think it was a problem, and even more if we take into account that men in India are not too considered with their wives...

2. Is that a reason to steal and betray your own family?

I don't think that any reason would be enough for betraying and stealing your own family.

3. What is voodoo and in which country do people usually practise it?

Vodoo is an indigenous religion that takes place from Togo to Nigeria (West Africa). It is practised by the Ewe people, Kabye people, Mina people and Fon people of southern and central Togo, southern and central Benin and the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria.

4. How did she make voodoo to Prakash Rao's brother?

She was given a button from one of his brother's shirts and some hair. the she stuck them on a doll, she killed a chicken and put the head of the doll into the chicken's blood. Then she started sticking pins.

5. In your opinion, who was more cruel to each other, Prakash or Arvind Rao? Why?

Prakash was more cruel, because he stole to his brother's business, and the only thing that Arvind did was to be honest and fair.
