Such delicacy in the details... like a soft breeze tickling the leaves of a tree.<br /><br />I also feel for Abin. My dad had acted similarly when my mom had passed. He didn't want to change ANYTHING. He let the place go too. So this hit home for me.<br /><br />Well done. I always enjoy your writing and I Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-28212899372704992412013-05-27T08:33:16.749+05:302013-05-27T08:33:16.749+05:30You set the tension well right from the start Nila...You set the tension well right from the start Nilanjana, right from when Abin reached for the letters. Letters from beyond the grave is a very poignant theme which you have weaved with your usual gift for imagery - the flaking paint - nice touch, says so much. It was a great touch to have two different interpretations of the letters. Created just the right amount of conflict.
