I wanna know more and lesser at the same time. Tara has a gift - this is undeniable, and her story is one of inspiration and abandon at the same time. I am horrified as well as gratified.
Weirdly, despite being a story so away from our lives, Tara doesn't come across as an alien when discussing about her feelings and fears and how she felt when thrown into new situations after living a completely different life for 17 years. She doesn't feel unnatural, she doesn't come across as miraculous either.
She is a woman, just like any of us, who had to grapple with so much.
