Comment on In Short Stories - Weeds By Sudha Narasimhachar, Bangalore, India

Thank you friends for those encouraging comments. I leave the end to the imagination of the reader because just as Mahima, I too am not interested in the verdict. Anything is acceptable, since she has achieved something that she wanted to achieve. Since I am not a legal expert, I really do not know how such a case will be dealt with. My intention was to express how a mother of a child who undergoes such a trauma must be feeling! In fact, whenever I travel by buses and see injustice being meted out to helpless women and children, my blood boils. I really get very upset with men behaving cheap in public. Aren't such men weeds in a beatiful society? I definitely do not advocate taking law into one's one hands. But I have only portrayed the state of a frustrated and helpless mind of a loving mother.

your blog reminds me of bartan(untensils)sellers who would come to our place and my mother used to buy steel bartans by exchanging old disposable clothes.

Shail,
wait for some more years, and you will have mobile (literally) vendors, selling mobile phones! :-)
Thanks.

True, they are there, but diminishing in number. Thanks Irene, for reading and commenting.

Thanks, Sneha. Nice to know that you have painted the flower pots - these days, no one really cares for mud pots - in salem, I have seen mud pot vendors crossing over to cement pots! :-(

Regarding publishing my writings, thanks for the compliment....my job allows me very little time. I hope my wife, who is also a writer in this website, decides to publish her writings and mine together (like Colleen and Hugh Gantzer)someday!

Thanks again.
