Thank you, Sravan. Do let me know what you thought of it π
Hi Renita, it is so heart touching . I recollected all our college times. When I was reading this, my daughter sat next to me watching my face and she could smell that I was deeply touched with your article. I told her how you used to be in the college and your beautiful poems that were published in our college magazine. Good work Renita! Proud to say my friend is very good author – an International author
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Sree. You made my day π

Just wanted to say I love your books and the way you write. The descriptions take me back to beautiful India! I have read them all and am currently reading A Mother’s Secret. Your books are touching and I can imagine all the characters as if they were real. I have recommended them to everyone I know! Keep up the great work and cannot wait for your next book. I’m trying to read this one slower but it’s so difficult to put down! Wishing you every success. Priya (London)
