He was born and brought up in a small town in Tamil Nadu. But by sheer effort and intelligence, he completed his Engineering and his MBA from a major ...management institute in Bengaluru. He landed his present job immediately. His parents were no more. He was along and single.He was invited to a party thrown by his friend, where he met his future wife Suja. Both were attracted to each other. To cut a long story short, they married. Suja was a single child. Her father passed away in a road accident. "I want to tell you about something that happened to me a few days ago, something that you know about without knowing all the details."Kirsty's eyes were still wide and looked like they were filling with tears."This is going to be hard so please just listen until I've finished what I've got to say and then I'll answer any questions you have, okay?"I sat and waited for Kirsty to respond in some way, it took a few moments but she finally nodded.I took a deep breath and began my tale. I started. I looked at the ties and there was no way I was getting free from this situation anytime soon, I guess I would just have to lay here and wait.I heard the slamming of the door and wondered just how long I would have before round two.I lay there totally motionless for what seemed like ages and all my attempts of escape drew a blank, while the cords were easy the cable ties were impossible. I heard the front door open and I wasn’t sure if I had a sense of relief or a sense of dread and then things. The ground on either side of the highway looked like a December morning, with snowy fields contained by wooden fencing. Oh, it’s cotton! Cottonfields! I’ve never seen cotton fields before! This is so cool.Rural Alabama was definitely a sight to behold. I’ll tell you this though, it’s not as ‘trashy’ as it’s pictured in the media. It was all nice little houses interspersed with trees and farms, restaurants I’d never heard of before, and churches everywhere. ‘Roll Tide’ was like their state.
