'beta' here means 'boy' in hindi right? I loved this one!

[Zainab UF]

Gosh, I didn't realize it could be interpreted in that way! Always being overshadowed because everyone thinks you're just a kid...

This just goes onto show that people interpret art in ways the creator didn't even dream of. Actually, I meant 'beta' as in the second letter of the Greek alphabet - always being outshone by the "Alpha." :)

oops! when i looked at it, i was like 'Beta - pronounced 'Bait-aa' in hindi, and it was like.. you know.. the girl child, always overpowered by the 'beta' in a family. silly me!

[Zainab UF]

It's not silly, actually, it's a very good interpretation! I'm amazed! :)

[Aehr]
