It reveals an inherently optimistic mindset of the writer, coz according to the story, everything would've been perfect had just the guy talked to the girl. She felt plain, but he found her beautiful. Doesn't need to happen like that in real life. She could be plain, and go about all her life without finding the guy who thinks she's beautiful. <br /><br />Secondly, isn't the girl a bit self-absorbed and selfish? She only wants to be noticed, but doesn't notice the guy for 17 months? Had he talked to her, is that all she wants from someone, just that she be noticed and be called beautiful?<br /><br />Very interesting story. :)Arslanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884863554367332429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835959360693086550.post-2461292923320524962010-03-26T12:42:55.818+05:302010-03-26T12:42:55.818+05:30@Nic,

Appreciate the honest comment! :)
Well ...<b>@Kanishk,</b><br />Appreciate the honest comment! :)<br /><br />Well to start off, I DO have a fairytale view of life.. At the same time, you will be suprised at how much the people around us have to go through emotionally, hence the dark mood of almost all my stories. :) <br />About the suicide part.. to each his own I guess. :) There are people who are strong enough and then there are some who simply arent. Anyway its just a story :) I like to think that I write dark brooding stories better than the mushy ones, hence I naturally gravitate towards such themes :)<br />Lastly, yes, Im not in that mood anymore, because I dont stay down for a long time anyway :) Writing about it gets it out of my system and then Im good to go :) <br /><br />Thanks anyway,<br />Annie.IceMaidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667516172075286778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835959360693086550.post-78688963372899153702010-03-17T13:16:55.995+05:302010-03-17T13:16:55.995+05:30Well written of course !

Hence the abrupt comment.<br />Also I'm quite appalled by the ending. I can imagine how it might feel like being invisible but the idea of a suicide I can't comprehend. I like your writing and all but hope you're no longer in the mood that made you reach that ending.Kanishkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365474342244813031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835959360693086550.post-83240606108377930722010-03-17T12:40:05.620+05:302010-03-17T12:40:05.620+05:30@Anupam,
