H...I find it hard to get the message of the story. However, I enjoyed reading it, and the tone is serious and sad. What caught my attention is this statement ," She had prayed so much for a child, for Gopu. Why then did God give her a child if he had to take him away anyway? That is if God exists." It reminds me of Baudlaire's poem Benediction from his poetry book, Flowers of Evil. Although the tone is different from your piece, yet the question of existentialism is there, imposed. <br />Of course, the mother in your story is caring so it seems, but in Baudlaire, it's otherwise. Anyways, my point is, I like the way you set up the question. It's catchy.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334457719338642548.post-79449177771026811792013-11-28T07:13:49.870-08:002013-11-28T07:13:49.870-08:00Thank you dear!!Thank you dear!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334457719338642548.post-32014601961583596432013-11-28T07:12:41.548-08:002013-11-28T07:12:41.548-08:00Thank you so much!!Thank you so much!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334457719338642548.post-50721714892014846992013-11-28T06:26:19.282-08:002013-11-28T06:26:19.282-08:00"How ironical life is?
