A quick tale 24

Photo

They were surprised by her decision not to have father's photograph in the house. They didn't know that she wanted to remember him as a complex human with capacity for infinite love and a foul temper that made him a monster to live with. And not just as an old man with a benign, toothless smile beaming down from their living room wall.

அன்புள்ள அம்மனிக்கு,

நினைவில் நின்றால் போதும்........
நிழல் வேண்டுமா என்ன?

என்பதை
இப்படியும் எடுத்துக்கொள்ளலாம்

நிழலைப் பார்த்துப் பார்த்து
நினைக்க வேண்டாமே...!

என்றும் அன்புடன்,
ரங்கநாதன்

Y'know Ammani, leaving a comment for your short tales is getting a bit repetitive - all I seem to keep saying is "NICE" ;)

Oh allright, of COURSE I'm not complaining... just my attempt at being funny-haha. :)

And as always, love the story. I check your blog every day for more!
