I found it interesting how at the end of the reading for today Omishto grabbed her things and walked out on her mother. It was not surprising considering the relationship she has with her mother and family but I do not think she really thought this through. Where is she going to stay? What is she going to eat? She does not have anywhere to go; Ama is not at home. She does not have an "outside mother" at this point. Omishto is like many teenagers though who leave when something does not go their way- so it will be interesting to see how long it takes her to return home.
