SNDY, Deep, *: Thank you for your comments.

Avani : Appreciate the feedback. You seem to be way ahead of me when it comes to Hindi serials  but thanks for that piece of trivia. Happy summer to you too!

Rythm : Thanks for the kind words.Time apparently heals everything they say, even infidelity in this case.

On a different note, I have often been asked about the source of this and  previous stories. At first I thought it best to disregard such questions but that did not stop them from coming up again. So I thought I would wait till the end of the story to clarify. There are two questions that have repeatedly come up:  how much of this is my own story and why did I chose to write it? 
 
All I have to say is being semi-anonymous on this forum and a generally private person, I have no desire to tell my life story to people I don't know. Like anyone else writing fiction, I start with an idea or thought, tap into my imagination,  draw from events, places and people in my life to give those ideas anchor and then mould them into something that I find enjoyable and rewarding.  

I write for the love of writing and the latitude of thought it gives me. I get to create my own reality and live in it, even if it is  only for a few moments. I get to research new subjects and explore the corners of my mind that I otherwise hesitate to reach. Things we all do in our own ways everyday. To imagine, dream and fantasize is only human I suppose. To type up those thoughts and fantasies might be borderline insanity, that I can concede;)

But it sure is fun .

Thanks again to everyone for reading and sharing your thoughts. My apologies once again for the delays, typos and grammatical errors and any feelings I might have inadvertently hurt.  Hope to see you all another place, another time.
