    Nice story...i too many times feel like a fool who predict every reality with her illogical illusions. There are so many kinds of feelings emotions and practicality that we cannot always judge. This is life and that is why we are so different.

    I don't know what to address you as.:)

    When we are young, it is natural to have illusions and we are idealistic; that is what keeps our hopes and dreams high. It is a part of growing up. As we mature, we sober down and learn to accept life's realities far easily. I guess each one of us has gone through it. When the reality dawns, we mature; some mature with one knock or they wake up to just a nudge while some may need many hard knocks!

    Thanks for the feedback and thought share; I appreciate.

    Geeta ! You write really well ! For a moment I almost thought I had married Anmol and was sitting by the sea facing Bandra home ( eating all those chocolates as well) and watching ms. Pinky . Anmol is a good catch ! Practical , successful besides owning that sea facing apartment :grinning:.
    You capture the spirit of Mumbai exceptionally well! Maza aa gaya !

    Nice story left with a suspense. Beautiful expression of newly wed starting a new life in a big city. I too wonder about the girl in pink dress. Did she have a complete collection of pink dresses? How can someone hurt a pink flower. How it would have been if Amitha had approached Pink-y. That’s life - sometimes an unsolved mystery. Enjoyed reading an excellent write-up.

    Geets, I believe catching up attention of reader is the most important part of write ups. You do it exceptionally well :blush:.
    The story and your characters all look too realistic. Like as if they are either your observations or your own story beautifully penned. And at the end you convey a beautiful life lesson for all of us .

    Loved this story totally. The expectations and heart of a women and how most of the men seem to be emotionless . And how we women take up lighter things to heart and revolt . This story illustrates the characterisation of a women and a man in real world.
    I really enjoyed this write-up.
    Keep writing .. We all would love to sip some aam panna and enjoy reading . ;)
