Hi Jacqueline, Bit late here, but thanks for your critique of Torvald's Troubles. I appreciate the insight!

I appreciate you taking the time to read and critique my short story.

You commented on the protagonists distinct lack of masculinity in certain points of the narrative. The observation was astute as that's the trait I was trying to bring out in him. My aim was to make him slightly more real by giving him a combination of the masculine and the feminine. So many of us are the very same way.

Thanks again for the time you gave. I'm glad you liked the story.

Sure, i will do that. Thanks a ton!

Thanks for the wonderful comments on the untitled story. I am very sure that my friend would be truly motivated by your feedback. Thanks a ton!

Thanks for sharing your feedaback to my short story...with the kind of response that I have been getting to this story, i think i will definitely revise it and do it properly. It was just something i had scribbled on computer while working in office coz we have so many birthdays celebrated in office than at homes these days....a basic sketch of a story formed in my mind and i jotted it down, really, it didnt have any personal vent to it. But yes, you are right, it needs a lot of revising and structuring. Thanks so much for point out the grey areas. I think i would love to revise it and get your opinion on this again.
