    Five stops before our stop.
    I loved these lines Q. So eloquently put, hiding all strong emotions, yet picturing the pain in most subtle way.

    I think its elusive way of Q's narration. She always writes the same way. Thats why I said prose-poetry

    Shakthi really you have touched my heart through and through....how very well you knew what i meant! you picked up on so many points..each of them endearing to me :

    ...i was in a tizzy when i found that the narrative at points could be confusing but that swept away by your rescue of all the correct points...and yes isn't it horrid how much fondness can paint such a "reserved, kind, gentleman" picture of such man?

    ...the struggle between poetry and prose...it was hard not to break into lines or just keep the main points...even some unintended rhyming got in there!

    ...the sudden slap as you say...yes really wanted to end off with a jarring effect...

    ...oh my goodness i could not believe...it was like I had been talking to you about the story before I even wrote it....how did you know.... i soooo wanted to convey the immense pain by diverting it to such a blah object (the post box, the bus signal light) one that would not normally deserve such pointed attention!

    ....and yes as always...the only point that always made me dislike short story is a) wanting to be as blunt as i was in the poetry b) having to spell it all out...that you called it elusive...what all i wanted to achieve...all outlined by you....i am truly happy to have a friend like you...the words "thank you" pale in comparison to what i feel...but still they are the only words I have....so THANK YOU SHAKTHI!!!!

    PP Maam of course what is a story without your reassurance...and just as in "Indigo" and "Verbatim" you are here for me...thank you...your words always give me the motivation to continue

    Crazy, Wibha both of you have followed me throughout my scribbled ventures...and just when I think...i have made no impact...I have turn poetry into puzzling words only....there you two are with your encouragement...I thank you for this:
