But what would (most probably) happen in the above case would be parents/relatives/well wishers swooping down to tell her she is too young to make such decisions and once she starts living with a man, things would change. I can almost hear it. :)But that's something that would start where you have left off.<br />Well written.

We moderns, in all our infinite wisdom have created prejudices and prudishness.

The whole aspect of my writing revolves around experimenting and challenging my skill sets to explore unchartered territories of my mind.In the process, if someone appreciates the outcome of such an experiment - am glad, if not, am glad as well. And it is not to do with arrogance or indifference. <br /><br />In this world where being diplomatic is the best form of expression, and I am an active member of the clan on most occasions, I felt a need to do something which sans a need for approval.It is more like a vent to all the facade we put up all day long. Somewhere we need to tell oursleves,it is ok to be foolish, it is ok to be stupid,it is ok to be not perfect...it is ok to be ok not the best all the time, it is ok to be you - only you.<br /><br />As for the story - the nature of a distressed mind does not allow structure or clarity.The poem Rachna scribbles is just a reflection of that. Not sure what you meant by being repetitious. The poem does not capture what she wants to say - and that is by design.In life, unlike popular fiction, some stories remain incomplete.<br /><br />the objective of the story was to try and capture one evening,perhaps a few moments in time, from Rachan's life,which would go on to define her existence in the future.The unstated possibilities of such a life changing scenario needed to be kept that way int he context of the texture of the story.<br /><br />The dialog was with her father not mother. Am glad you could identify some scenarios.<br /><br />Please continue to visit ,as and when you can and share your thoughts.<br /><br />Cheers<br />GBaayanmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14881273343571611950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36714657.post-89453907160075703362011-12-16T13:56:14.009+05:302011-12-16T13:56:14.009+05:30Gayanban,

Diverse, well, allowing much to enter. It may appear that I am trying to make you blush, quite the contrary, I see that you are building a fantastic foundation and I wish to see it build. Yes indeed your writing may need work, but it alludes to a greater potential. Fantastic indeed.<br /><br />In reference to the story, I caught myself reading the letter through very fast as though I was wanting to see the end of it. It didn't really catch me. It wasn't until Rachna tossed the paper, when the message of the piece was beginning. It felt too repetitious, then again from another perspective it really depends on how you look at it.<br /><br />One could see her letter not capturing what she actually wants to say, obvious with her tossing it. I think that this story could be elaborated, you have a great setting I wish to read the majority of the piece. <br /><br />But I really enjoyed the dialogue with the mother and her, I could could really see it in my mind.<br /> <br /> I enjoy reading your blog every once and a while, especially when I can of course. <br /><br />Great to see your writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36714657.post-7923887919488991102011-12-13T10:56:03.594+05:302011-12-13T10:56:03.594+05:30The society today is much too diverse to be even t...The society today is much too diverse to be even thought of as becoming progressive. But hopefully, in the years to come, Indian society learns that new kinds of relationships are here to stay and that there's nothing 'queer' about them at all. It's just a way of life. <br />Excellent post, GyanBan.D2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04659198938158373406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36714657.post-74928985313327646492011-12-12T20:47:38.945+05:302011-12-12T20:47:38.945+05:30Hmm....Sensitive thoughts indeed!I liked the after...Hmm....Sensitive thoughts indeed!I liked the after thoughts about the most difficult part being breaking the news to the family.The poem is very nice and so is the story.Sudeshnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412186863493636778noreply@blogger.com
