Sitting cross-legged on the bay window at home‚ I study my canvas. A toddler sits in her pram‚ brown curly locks flying in all directions. Her cheeks are dimpled and her smile is gummy. Her hand holds a rattle‚ but she’s looking at me intently. At first glance‚ she’s exactly the way I remembered her when I first saw her while vacationing at a hill-station.

In both the novel and epic case‚ heroism can be attributed to common ideological and semiotic construction‚ subconsciously tailored to differing ends.
