Dear Nandu, "She is my own new version;" They are the same at the core; both of them struggle and fight for their survival. The best feature of a woman is her dogged determination to better her family and self through love, sacrifice and hardwork.
Dear M, Our near and dear ones (from whom we expect validation) may not praise aloud easily but over a period of time when the understanding deepens, these acknowledgements do come out. Some may say it out and some may put it across as veiled comments. Unless one is stuck with a really horrible person, the appreciation and acknowledgements do come. Have patience.
Nice dedication to the original article by Periamma. Beautiful choice of words and nicely expressed. As Satchi says both bubbles and Pebbles are unique and much needed in their own way. Enjoyed reading
