Dupatta - Veil

A mellifluous and mettlesome veil, the dupatta wreaks havoc into the lives of the two J's, Josh and Joshi driving them to act on impulses not experienced before. He is Burmese Chinese descent and she is Fiji Indian descent. What they have is special, magic; they are good together. Can they perfect these invisible threads drawing, interweaving into this deepening, cementing bond previously unknown. Do they belong together?
The dupatta's sheer fabric delicately weaves a romantic coming of age to maturity drama, piercing the very threads of cultural traditions, questioning of values, racial attitudes, fiery confrontations and fierce independence. Blind stupidity, distrust, betrayal and blame to unravel complexities of new experiences, relationships and pursuit of happiness.
Do they find answers to their whys?
Is a forever 'us' possible?
Do the threads of their relationship strengthen and cement with every breath, each heartbeat?
What is this intercultural rollercoaster of romance, love, laughter and tears?
