Reena, this is a story about finding who you are, who you have always been, even if you didn't know it. You write beautifully, with sensitivity and a straightforward kind of expressiveness that I find both easy to read and appealing. I think story telling is your thing. Thanks for this one.
Thank YOU so much dear Tim! I’m so thrilled that you read the whole story. And comments mean the world. This story is my longest yet as I’m learning how to write so I appreciate your words even more. 🙏
You are a skilled storyteller. You keep the reader guessing, anticipating and interested. And were able to tie things together quite satisfactorily at the end. Can be a challenge when one has built up anticipation. The choice of names KNOT, Maya, Krish, I think intentional, were clever. Enjoyed reading it. Thank you!
Sandeep — Thank you first of all for reading the story. That alone makes my day. And I so appreciate your vote of confidence. This is my longest story yet as I learn how to write better so I’m really encouraged.
This is a fantastic milestone for you, Reena, and one for which you should be proud. It takes courage to write something different than your usual. It's worth it to contemplate what you think worked or didn't, and then apply it to all the great things you'll write next!

“Within a year his doubts multiplied like algae in a stagnant summer pool. “ - I love this line,I’m reading Steinbeck and this could be one of his.
