“It is not really my son’s fault, after all what can he do. Gambling is an inherited disease, who is he to fight it. Generations before him have succumbed to the rush of excitement, the lure of teasing fate, the brief moment of uncertainty and the prospect of an easy win. It needs no skill, not much effort and certainly no talent - only a deep wallet and a strong heart.”

“What will he do?’
‘Every man has different needs.’
‘What should I do?’
Chumki shrugged, ‘Lie under him and count the stars.”
