m a n u s c r y p t s: The Birthday

  • garfy · 4 years ago
    *glaring at you*


    How morbid! You and Pingoo are ek-hi-thali-ke-chatte-batte (I think its sth like that!... was never too good at hindi! *grin*)



    Anyhow... morbid story but poignant... Geez... i so thought the shy reserved kid wud kill himself after board results or something!



    Ever consider writing thrillers?

    why did she die? how did she die?
    was it suicide or murder or was she sick or something?

    wait wait. what happened after that?



    he survived? what about the next birthday?



    did he choose the place this time too or invite anybody?

    memorable b'day indeed but then the memory is eternal for that 15 yr old. mothers do have premonitions about certain things and maybe that prompted her to have the "last supper"

    Hi,
    Is it autobiographical ?

    *hugs*

    Thats depressing.


    Hope its not true ...

    ... if it is, then a big hug goes out to that little boy.

    aww thats such a sad ending. but celebration of life should carry on nonetheless...
  • judy · 4 years ago
    awww...i hope that was fiction?!:(
  • garfy · 4 years ago
    Hey... *bawl* (shud have read the first line a lil more carefully!) Make that Pingoo alone as morbid and dreary! N am still feeling terrible.


    But hey doesnt the kid not celebrating bdays defeat the entire purpose???



    Also if you really want to write try the Sulekha site... they have some penguin contest going on! (er.. this is a terrible choice of space to say this.. but me really thinks you shud write!)
