This was so good! I couldn't stop reading once I started.

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you Isha! Appreciate that very much. And a BIG WELCOME to you.

[Isha Jain]

Thanks! To you too.

[Francesca Bossert]

This is so good!!! I couldn’t stop reading! It made me think of some of my Indian friends from school, way back in the day. These things happen, it happened to me but in a very mild way when I was super young. Great writing xx

[Reena Kapoor]

Thanks so much Francesca! So glad to hear it and that this happened to you. Imitating life... :-)

[Sunila Gupta]

Ahhh - loved it Reena! Something very real about your story-telling, and of course, loved all the "hostel" references!

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you so much Sunila! Your comment made me smile.

[Lalitha Vatturi]

Thank you Lalitha! So glad to hear that.

Emotional roller coaster. I try for this sense of reality when I write. Thanks Reena

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you so much Philip. I appreciate that so much.

[Ranjani Shah]

Great memories from our shared time in college/hostel. What a captivating story, the part about desi men staring is too funny and so true. 😀

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you dear Ranjani! Yes our “hostel” snuck into the story. 😀

[Shruti Dixit]

This is really well written- you transported me into a different world. I had to read to the end- absolutely LOVED it! Thank you for writing. 🙏🏽♥️

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you so much Shruti! 🙏That was wonderful to hear!

[Priya Iyer]

There’s so much here, Reena, that it’ll need a few weeks worth of walks and talks. Very well written! Ultimately, Lopa was the braver one.

[Reena Kapoor]

Thank you so much! 🙏

Look forward to your thoughts. And yes absolutely 👍
