@Rit...@kavita - thank you.<br /><br />@Sudeshna - thank you.<br /><br />@Ritu - thank you.<br /><br />@Lakshmi Rajan - thank you sir.Albeit the blast was a fulcrum point in the story.the focus was elsewhere.The 3 elements - people,destiny and events, conjure up life, or does life conjure these up? i tried to highlight the frugality of life in the larger scheme of things.<br /><br />As for login - issue - i'd tried earlier, but got a lot of spam.so I guess I will stick to it.please take the effort to login - it tells me you really liked the post ! ;-)<br /><br />@Vibhuti - hmm..interesting.however, this story,as I mentioned above, is not about the blast at leopold,it is just set in that backdrop.It is more about Gaurav's story.and the angle of destiny in the decisions we make in life. You are right when you say a true story conjures up a bomb blast in our minds..sign of our times .So I take the cue, and start thinking about my next true story - not having any bomb blast at all.:-)<br /><br />But thanks for reading and appreciating.<br /><br />@lazyP - thank you am glad you liked it.Richard Bach is one of my favorites.You might want to read Johnathan Livingston Seagull.<br /><br />@Chatterbox - yes richard Bach has some wonderful quotes.I liked the caterpillar one quite a lot.
