    Although not all stories are same, this certainly is the bitter truth of some untold stories. Sad but true.
    Very well written Mayura 🙂

    the beauty of life sometimes gets lost in mundane, at least she has not lost the feel and sense of it! I wrote something on similar lines last year 🙂

    I guess a lot of women can relate to this one. This kind of is my story a lot of times when I really want to be in the moment and enjoy my peace but mostly I am glad to have my kids around me as they are really my support :). They are too cute and mostly I don’t mind to disturb them.

    A highly evocative piece Mayura. The familiar sort of longing evokes memories from my past, but I don’t recall anyone else with such a yearning, I am sure many people are out there, nurturing wistful dreams like hers. Loved it.

    That’s a really lovely read Mayura :). In any marriage, it’s really important that both the individuals strive to make it work. If only one makes the effort, things just go downhill. I liked the way you described the surroundings, the weather and the way these influenced her happiness only to be given a rude shock.

    The story was engrossing, read in a single sitting.
    It shows her inner feelings chorus alongwith her outer world chorus, but still she manages all.
