A Teacup in My Hand

Reply to #1, #2, #3, #4:

Thanks for your comments...

#1...without Aunt Samina`s foresight, I suppose, Sonya would have `a real situation` on her hands, as they say!!! Seriously, though, there`s not much in life one can`t achieve if one is determined enough. It just has to be worth the struggle. Thanks for your time...reading and commenting.

#2...Thanks for your kind words...I`m glad you liked my piece...yep, sure do have more tales to tell!! Keep a look out. :-)

#3...yes, agreed... it was a bit soapy because life is a drama of conflicting emotions and diverse perspectives; more and more women are learning to reject other people`s definition of their role/place in the society and defining their own existance...glad you liked the basic idea, and thanks for letting me know!

#4...Thank you so much for your comments...glad you liked the piece...its a topic that affects many lives in our culture...though eastern culture is evolving and we are learning to view gender specific problems in their proper perspective, we still have a long way to go!

Predictable but very nicely written. Kept me engrossed till the end.

Really a very nice piece of work,
Heart-touching............
Well Written

a bit soapy, but thank you for a strong female protagonist!

I have never commented on fiction here but your story was a gem! So well constructed and you recreated the whole scenario in such a compelling fashion I could see it unfold in front of my eyes.

Hope you have more tales to tell.

How true!

Also, what would have happened had there not been an aunt with a bit of foresight?!
