Hi Dee,
I have very recently come across this forum and while checking posts just was glued to your story.Sorry I should have commented earlier but its never too late...So here are my bits for the opening chapter.INTRIGUING!! INTERESTING!!INNOVATIVE-Build up for a story which keeps you imagining every detail which you pen down.The writing is so crisp yet so descriptive,prose yet poetry..I love the intro through the protagonist's eyes kinda giving us an impression what her life has been uptill now.Lonely ,yearning and a recluse soul...Hmm wonders what has led to her being wrapped in a cocoon.Lovely writing and just cannot wait to read the next chapter...😊Will be back with my comments.

Dee,
Been through all the chapters in a go.Superb build up and then emotions while reading this are too strong.A lonely woman who is talented yet secluded,cold outwards yet the warmth of her heart seeps through her eyes and gestures when teaches those little kids .I guess it's her soul's way of giving expression to the love which might have been denied or deprived all her life.I love Roshni's character build up..It makes you feel for her.The language is fluid and the expression is lucid.Lovely !! ...I can see Roshni through your eyes..BTW I have tried something for your story...I am in love with it and this is what Roshni looks like to me .Hope you like it!!

You have such a fantastic way of writing, Dee.👏 I just read the prologue, the 1st chapter and the second chapter together, and the whole melancholy touch has left me a lil speechless right now...
I must tell you that I'm a big antisocial, and I know how it is. And you have described the feelings so nicely, in such incredible detail, you could even be living in my mind for all I know!😆 I can identify with Roshni in so many places, (listening to Taylor Swift's songs catering to my mood and things I want to say at that time, for eg). I don't know how you are, a bit lyk Roshni or not like her at all, but one thing I do know, I myself wouldn't be able to describe my own thoughts such beautifully, let alone get into somebody else's shoes and write down their feeling soo accurately. And I think that's what makes one a great writer!
The prologue about how everyone shunned Roshni, the 1st and 2nd chapter portraying Roshni's daily life and bringing out the pain in her heart through those simple day-to-day doings, it was just too beautiful for words!
And I just realised that it's a big enough post for "being speechless".😆 So I'm gonna stop here, I guess!
Continue soon!😊

To all - I am sorry for being such a late kate but I have hoards of eligible excuses. The most recent one being I don't have an internet connection. But worry not, I shall write the next few chapters in bulk and post them soon enough. Thank you for being patient those who are still on Roshni's journey. :)

Wilted || Sometimes

Sometimes I walk - unfettered by the directions of a map.
Sometimes I sit and ponder over many a things - lost and never found.
Sometimes I crave for things I had let go of - things and people.
Sometimes tears roll down my cheeks unchecked by my handkerchief.
Sometimes, when I let them, I let myself I find my vulnerability just a farce. Sometimes I find myself at fault.
Sometimes when I laugh and listen to my own laughter, why does its hollowness ring so true?
Sometimes when I forget all about it and look up at the sky and feel the breeze caressing my tresses which have come unbound, I smile - smile that real smile and want that sometimes is all the time.

Hey there,

I know, it's been so long... too long. I haven't been updating because of the internet problem and also because I have scrapped out whatever I write for like three times now. My exams get over on 15th and my board results out on 18th. I will try to be regular hence forth. Thanks for wanting to know more about Roshni. She wants to tell you more - just can't get her words right at the moment. :)
