Saaz Agarwal Hi, Priya Nice. And true. And well-written. Anisha Both the poems are impressive. Reminded me a bit of Stevie Smith's poetry though these poems are not as idiosyncratic in tone. Shamik Nag Very simple read but yet makes u think about simple things that holds deep inner meaning, which is really fascinating to me and to a whole lot of other people, a very nice poem indeed. Shantanu Sarkar Both the thoughts and the rhythm of your style appeal to me. I would read more. Sam Very simple read but yet makes u think about simple things that holds deep inner meaning, which is really fascinating to me and to a whole lot of other people, a very nice poem indeed. Shantanu Sarkar (Jay): jay_sarkar2@rediffmail.com "and Where the hell is Narnaul anyway" Indeed! Difference causes knowledge surely but I fear the poem inspite of the "noble" intentions is about indifference It is all too nice to pity the condition of women in places you dont even know the location of while self-assuredly patronizing Lakme in a airconditioned flat in Pune! Maybe its time to find out where Narnaul is before you with the brown (liberated) woman's burden are concerned about women there... just a suggestion you might look into when you get time from giving tips about sunscreen lotion. Sagar Khare: khare@email.unc.edu Too short! The story did have limited possibilities which could have been expanded upon. Like for example the personality traits of Siddharth. Also some snapshots of the protagonist's life would've been valuable instead of the bland opening paragraph. Mayurica has an easy style but I think she needs more practice in writing fiction. A little less introspective pieces are reccommended. Sabyasachi Biswas : sabyab@yahoo.com Marriageable Age deals with an interesting story, though the effect which a theme like this should have produced did not come into being. Perhaps too many words flattened the poem. The poem stars with words difficult to pronounce. The end seems common too. Muhammad Saiful Islam : bsaiful@yahoo.com
