Well, I thought it was pretty well known… black tends to make anyone look thinner. I guess it makes you a bit invisible too, but I guess that explains the effect

So, I guess I’d advice you to stick to the pastel shades

Hey, this is something really nice …… quite a budding literary figure. Really happy to see that you’re making good use of your time in neverland.

@Jason:

Fact is often stranger (and harsher) than fiction, isn't it? I really hope you wouldn't end up in that not-so-envious situation

@Suchi:

Glad to know that you enjoyed it. As you have correctly pointed out the lack of an ending makes this post a ’slice of life’ account. Yes, a piece of something bigger.

Again, I’m just starting out, so wish me luck

Dear A,

I am just amazed at the amount of detailing that you provided. It is like a chapter out of novel, so maybe u shd try your hand at writing novels or maybe novellas for a start.

>>She wouldn�t know what it is like to be home at Diwali. More importantly she wouldn�t know what it is like not to be home at Diwali. An ignoramus. A cross cultural freak. A word that�s stripped of its etymology. Pathetic!

These were by far the best lines in the story and seems to speak of a certain literary buff sitting in you.

But then as an audience , as a reader of the writer, you expect an ending, a happy ending, a sad ending , you cannot just wait to hear that things are as they are and that life simply moves on. So i was kind of hoping mid way through that something would "happen" between the two of them ;).

But on the whole a nice experience. Keep more of these flowing.
