It pains me to read about the incident that you have mentioned.

Anyways, glad to see you back here :) <br /><br />And you are always kind with your comments. But reading them always make my day or more like, my entire week :) Haven't penned much fiction in a while. So I was getting scared about losing my touch. So glad that you liked it :)<br /><br />I have had such wonderful teachers in my life and it's thanks to them that I'm able to pen the little things that I can today!<br /><br />And no, I'm not really missing anyone that badly right now ;) Why?Aathirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048064214070902294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026821776804720213.post-32584755209310590562014-09-09T13:19:29.160+04:002014-09-09T13:19:29.160+04:00Thanks a ton, Soumya!

Three kids died, and recently the father of one wrote an article in the leading daily newspaper, advising parents to be careful while kids use other modes of transportation and ensure safety etc. His other kids are still so affected badly by the death of their super playful sibling that they refused to go to school for four months, and the parents let them stay home. It was heart wrenching, and so was this.Anita Jeyan https://www.blogger.com/profile/05657647923285324813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026821776804720213.post-87178224456438691032014-09-08T20:37:12.512+04:002014-09-08T20:37:12.512+04:00What a twist!!!
