Story 286 Background Notes.

Index of Letters                      Return to Story 286.

Hello from Julie.

            Sarvesh and Shanti go back to the early stories of Letters. Over the years she has been a challenge for him but like a moth attracted to light, he can't keep away from her. I wanted to pick up this theme again so I did some research on both these characters and with Shandra's help, I found some interesting stories. It seems their differences really comes down to a cultural thing. Shanti, while being Indian, was born and brought up in a Western country with a very Western attitude. Meanwhile, Sarvesh comes from a smaller Indian town where traditional values still apply. Sarvesh is also very wealthy and used to getting his way when he wants something.
            While Sarvesh tries hard to bridge this cultural gap, Shanti tries to tease and bait him. She will often go out of her way to annoy him and there have been many occasions where Sarvesh has struggled to deal with this head-strong woman.
            But when they get together, the sex is great. Perhaps you might see it as a struggle to dominate the other person but it often ends in some wild aggressive sex. When Sarvesh sets out to discipline Shanti for her bad behaviour, who is going to win? Neither will willingly give in to the other.
            Understanding this was where I sat down to begin writing this story. It was written quickly, almost in one sitting as the idea flowed through the keyboard and onto the screen.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Julie and Susan.
