What I found interesting about the pairing of Raja with Virtual Freedom is that Virtual Freedom is about two lovers whose relationship evolves despite their inability to physically be with one another. In Raja, physical separation is not the issue but there are still many walls between Raja and Fred; their cultural context, age difference, language and economic status make their union impossible despite its seemingly relative ease.

What do you think is the relationship between "Raja" and the short, "Virtual Freedom", that followed it?
