Wow! A very humane story..
A story very well written and which touched my heart. The way you developed on the Liftman`s personality and character is commendable.
Keep it up. Like all the others, i look forward to reading another gem very soon.

Wow!

Dear Sheela,

Excellent story, very real characters and medical talk is authentic. The various emotions are well portrayed - maybe Ilyas` anger and frustration could have been a little more intense? Just a thought.

And although the end was somewhat expected, the narration was compelling enough to not to stop.

Welcome to Chowk. I look forward to reading `Quilted` and yes, also Gomantak, after a long time. What a place to come across a fellow Goan!

Regards

Sucheta
