   The story is well written and has a definite fluency in it. It is certainly close to reality and would strum various strings in individuals at various personal levels.

   The narrative is so strong, that it looks like a script of a film. It won’t take too much effort to be there with Maya and Sheila.

   Definitely a hindi film story! Wonderful. I will pray that your story gets adopted by some bollywood-hollywood director…can you imagine your success then? You would be even more famous than you currently are and I will brag to people that I know you…okay?

      Lata,

      Thank you for your prayers. You have shown so much faith in this book and its contents that whether or not you brag about knowing me, you deserve a mention in the book’s acknowledgement section. May your prayers be answered. Thanks once again.

   Touching story and well written! Shows what is at the heart of being a good human being. If a Bollywood film-maker were to adopt it, and I hope they do, will they stick to this essence – I wonder.

   The story brought to mind the humanity underlying Premchand ki Kahaniyan. Maya and Sheila come alive with your energetic prose and the reader’s heart is gladdened that in the end, their friendship is transformed into kinship.

   Beautiful touching short story. Wonderful writing! Great job!
   I still wonder how such a short story can be made into a bollywood movie. It will be interesting to watch the development.

    Dear Ratna,

    I read both the stories from your book. They are really realistic. I liked them.
    ‘Passengers of Fate’ reminds me of Sudhir Phadke’s Geet Ramayan :

    Kshanik tevi ahe bala, Kshanik tevi ahe bala,
    Mel mansacha, mel mansacha.

    So why not enjoy today and thank him. Today is the best present.

    Aai
