Beyond Satanic Evil: Rape of minors I had written a post here but then as an after thought it turned out to be one that does not quite fit in  with the rest of the blog and have deleted the content.

He planted a few new flowers in my garden and has now gone to his village with his mother, with instructions for me to water his plants everyday.  It was portulaca he planted that is good for the summer heat that is still on here in Jaipur but we expect cooling monsoons soon.
