Hi Hinna... 🤗

It feels weird to say thanks as a reply to this comment so avoiding it. But I'm happy that you took time to read this. Means alot.

Can you tell me more about your Khala, if it's not too much. I want to know about euthanasia, how it happens in a real life. May be in pm. If you don't mind.

well I dont know much, I wasnt there at that time to witness everything.

But basically she was in last stage of Hepatitis C, her liver had failed and she was basically lying lifeless in the hospitalsince a week or so. She couldnt talk even or eat. Then she eventually slipped into coma and doctors said she is very close to death, doesnt have much time left and they suggested for us to put her on life support machine, even then she had a very small chance of survival for long. Her children couldnt bear to see her suffer more especially knowing how painful and uncomfortable life support is so they said no. It was a very difficult and heart breaking decision for them and she was gone within half an hour. They cried for days after.

Thanks for sharing that though I feel I shouldn't have asked, don't know how to react.

I can't even imagine myself in a situation like that. We all can say that, they are in pain and we should let the petson go but it's too damn difficult.

In the story also, Raghav is going to drawn himself in guilt.

I hope her children are coping with it well. 🤗

@Bold : That's huge Priyam. Huge responsibility. And you know, I am a pro at running away from it. 😆

Yep. Definitely got mixed views about it. I changed a bit there though. 😉

And about a second part, right now I'm not sure as I will be busy next couple of months but I will try if I get breaks and I would really like to give an answer to your questions.

What do you think about Pallavi 's supposed death and euthanasia?

Your slender shoulders can take much more! But, yeah, these are what is spinning in my head. You will not be boxed in - you can write as you seem fit; I/we will lap it up. And write when you could, though not two months. 🤪

Why do you call it ‘supposed death’?

Euthanasia. Am this cat, who thinks the world is dark, when it closes its eyes. Not thinking about difficult topics, lets me believe, it doesn't exist. I live in this bubble, when its too hurtful. The cat!

I am torn, actually. When someone dear is said to ‘have no life left’, the lifeless is in immense physical pain. The living is in pain too, mentally more than physically. The decision to take is painful; and to decide for someone else, more so. Once decided to let-go, the pain shifts. It shifts to the living, to haunt forever. I do not see anything that can make it less painful. Yes or No, keeps the pain intact. Not a world I can imagine!

Nope. Not two months, may be next year. 😆

I called it supposed death because, as everything is possible in a story I can bring her back from her death bed. 😎 May be she is not dead. 😉

I like that cat who closes her eyes to make the world dark. How easy it all would be then?

If we go with yes then the physical pain of patient is temporary, but for others it's permanent. We can never grow apart from that guilt and regret. We will constantly be thinking of "what ifs" which is going to eat us alive through out our life.

I agree that, yes or no, the pain is there. Just the person feels it differs.

I also think that, we don't have the rights to make the decision for them.

Evil. 😡 This is for your first two paras.

Getting her back alive, dont ask me why, I am upset. 😞 Upset that I am not jumping with joy, at the thought!

Cats are ❤️

‘Don’t have the rights to make the decision’. Lets discuss. And lets talk about the ‘have-nots’. Someone who has to labour a whole day to have two meals, who cannot let the living be hungry, who cannot provide a 24x7 support, who cannot do anything for themselves and be tied down with pain, guilt, and ofcourse immense love. And now lets go back to the beginning of this paragraph.

The pain, the what-ifs, the dilemma, the catch22, the dead-end. Truth is always stranger than fiction.


To rein-in, move over fav vegetables! The fav pet-animal is Cat. 🐈

Since you called me evil, I should show evilness so, why you don't want her alive?

Why are you upset that I may bring her back?

I support euthanasia if there is a living will, and if the patient is in pain but at the same time I feel that, what if the person really don't want that. What if the person thinks that we are giving up on them which I don't want.

See if my one of close persons is in the place, and if the doctor says that it's better to let them go, when I will let them go. But that guilt and regret will be there till my death. It's kind of a very difficult situation which I will never want to happen in anyone's life.

You are a cat person, I'm a dog person. 😆

Told you! 😈

Fine. This unhappiness, well not even that; its more a lack-of-happiness, if you get what I mean, comes from me, as a reader.

The story has taken me to a zone; though painful, there was a sense of serenity that was there, with hope. To erase it all and start again is something which is not sitting well with me. Again, thats just me. The greedy me.

I have never liked to read, where the author, just pull a fast-one (more so, for the need of a twist). Unless it was leading to it, naturally through the story. By placing subtle hints that the reader cant catch and etc. The end has to happen; not written.

Having said that, your writing has always kept me tied; so, will give you the benefit of doubt (to surprise) and will be ready to read! 👍🏼

On the E topic, agree, no one, just no one should be put through that ordeal. This is one where there is no right way! We agree!

I know its the dog’s world! 😭

I understand that lack of happiness you are feeling. With the first part, we went to somewhere, we accepted her death, his pain and Sai's pain too and their helplessness too. And now to feel that all those are for nothing, it's a not a good one.

The end has to happen, not written, I like this. I like the unpredictable ends. Which is why I can't finish my fiction I think. 😒

Surprise will be there if I'm writing. 😉

I am not a pet lover, never had one but I would prefer a dog over a cat anyday.

Do you have one?

unpredictable ends, I love them too. But, not like in many thrillers that I have read where, the end is so, so it cannot be predicted. It should make the reader slap themselves, for leaving to register all the clues left through the story, to reach that unpredictable end. Thats yummm, for the lack of other words (or hungry).

Waiting to be surprised.

I dont have pets now. I have had both dogs and cats. And love both.

I like that kind too. Throughout the story we keep making connections but at the end, "damn how did I miss this? " I enjoy this reaction.

I once read a book and till the almost last pages I couldn't find that one thing missing and when it was revealed I was gobsmacked. Never thought of that end. This kind of unpredictability I love.

Now I'm worried if you will be surprised it not.

OK. I am kind of scared of cats even if they are pets.
