re: temporal

Aaah, I see there are two sobias! I wonder which one temporal was referring to! I`m going to assume it`s me because the other sobiaa has not been published on Chowk, as far as I can see. T, my short story, `A day in the bazaar`, was published about 8 days back on Chowk and is archived in the Leafyglade Inn. I was looking forward to reading your comments/ suggestions, but looks like you didn`t get a chance to read the story!

Arunima, really well-written piece!

//He felt sick, but sad too. He too wanted a slice of this dreary, dull life//

This sentence stuck in mind, in particular. I love the idea behind it.

Arunima,
An excellent article.. One can feel the pain as if you are part of the story.

``True, he was almost dead, but right now, he was almost living``

You conveyed your point very well. Keep on writing..

Arunima: A Hearty welcome to Chowk. This was a beautiful article. I loved the discussion of emotions and thoughts and the gradual/sudden change. Hope to see more from you - from my childhood city of Delhi.
