Those must be the two saddest words in the world." - Mercedes LackeyHey Swathi thats such a poignant quote and yep those words must be the saddestReading your portrayal of Subbu and how his life changed with a wrong and selfish decision reminded me of it. Regret is one of the harshest and undeniable phases of everyone's lifeVery difficult to get over and get on with life as you keep doubting your self after taking a wrong stepRegret is truly harsh since it is inescapable and undeniable and what makes it harsh is you know you are wrong and that you cant change things, it gnaws at you until you either do penance or ask forgiveness - neither of which is an option sometimesIn all your posts I have noticed that you have a way to pen emotions without going overboard and its very difficult to just be ON the line.👏☺️ thank you going OTT is really not my thing 😳But you superbly achieve it everytime. God bless you for that(with much much more valuable things than charged batteries of course😆)😆amen to that and thanksThe way you used pathos in your writing shows how good you are at controlling your reader's emotions. You really are gifted my dear.☺️ thanks SwathiI purposely didnt point any particular line which stood out, as for me, it was not one or 2 lines but the way it was written, the flow of emotions, which stood out.I dont know if I am making sense but hoping you got what i meant😕😆 dont worry you made perfect sense
