    I enjoyed the excerpt I always think it’s sad that women aren’t able to attend social gatherings only men.

    Thanks for another interesting excerpt. I’ve never been to a polo match, but it sure would make me angry to be told I could not attend an event without “permission” from my husband.

    The description of the lack of women, in this excerpt makes me uneasy. Behind a phrase such as “women of Islam were guarded like national treasures” hides a nasty view of women in general, one that makes me very sad and very, very angry. It’s like putting a bird in a cage, to stop it from flying … Unfortunately the tradition of keeping women on a strict protocol is still practiced in many countries today. The fight for all humans equal rights and same value has a long way to go yet.

    Thanks for the sneak peak though, I’ve never been to a polo match, and aren’t in the least likely to ever attend one, but it still has this exotic feeling to it.

    Is this one part of the Polo universe officially? Either way, I’m intrigued!

    Thank you for the great post. Once while my kids and I were sight seeing on the east coast of the US we saw a sign for a polo match being held that day so we decided to go take a look. However, we saw that everyone was dressed to the nines and we were in shorts and tank tops so we just left because we were so under dressed. The excerpt was a good substitute.

    Kamran’s comment felt sort of bold even if no one else heard him. Grady will get it out of him, I am sure. Thanks!
