Comments on: A Puja Story http://indianwriting.blogsome.com/2006/10/22/new-clothes-for-the-puja/ "That was the beginning of the century; this is its end. I have been thinking not only of the people who lived there once, but also of the generations of dogs accompanying them in their everyday bustle, and one night— I don't know where it came from— in a predawn sleep, that funny and tender phrase composed itself: a road-side dog." - Czeslaw Milosz, Borderlines.

There are some small dreams that might cause more heartbreak than others. But I feel more sorry for the mother who slogs so hard and still has to face this than for the girl who wants new clothes and doesn't get them. I wish someone would have told the little girl this, so that the next time her mom can't afford somethng she doesn't run away again. Anyway, its a happy ending, good for all concerned.

When you have nothing much to look forward to and be thrilled about, a small dream keeps you going. If it breaks, it might hurt bad. So it might not be anything to do with clothes at all..what do we know i disagree Neela. When you have nothing much to look forward to and be thrilled about, a small dream keeps you going.
