Interesting. Strange it is moreso for women than men who are more into WWF. Nice parody piece, if I can say so.

Jingu morphed into Sid N? Nice strolling style. Mama not existing have anything to do with her failed marriage? I liked the nostalgic analogies.

sometimes i think people forget that writing is not always about the correct grammer usage, perfect paragraphs and in consistancy in a piece of writing (cohesion-i wish i could italicise it), its about how well you communicate and how your work has an impact on other people.
its also about writing what comes to you naturally. if too much concentration had been placed on the technical aspects, than that piece of writing would not have been from the heart and therefore, would not have been ``real``.
i was affected by your writing. ``touched`` if you may. and i hope you continue writing the way you do.

People who write such a LONG e-mail can become candidates for divorce right away!
Serves them right – if they can write so much, can any one imagine how long they can go on talking – in person! Good grief!
What REAL men do is to talk all by themselves – and only about themselves, of course!
Was the end in reality a new beginning?
(What she perhaps should have done at that point was to forward the reply to the original intended destination. That would make the ex-husband jealous (unless it makes him feel highly relieved (and sympathetic (for the other guy.))))
Kidding aside, this story is nice – at least the twist at the end!

OK this is the first time i have posted my short story in Chowk and it is nice to be interacting here!
About this particular story I do agree with you ahi441313, that the story sems to be wandering around. The idea behind the piece was to have a kind of a bitter-sweet thinking out loud happening by the individual, who happens to be writing an email to her ex-husband, and due to an error in typing of the email id, it is send to someone else instead.
It was a piece that was meant to reveal the truths and untruths of the person through the means of words.

some nicely drafted sentences in an otherwise unwieldy train of thoughts. cohesion becomes even more important in a short story and it seemed that you were wandering around too much.
