Saravana, I love the idea to show the letter as images, but red font on bloody red paper template (to indicate the grotesqueness of the incident) is difficult to read. Can't make out a thing. :/
ReplyDeleteThanks da. Glad you asked the question. A stabbed girl using her blood to write on a paper that flew to her from the road side. For sure, it will be dirty, and since she is using the blood to write, it spoiled the paper too. I can understand your frustration, that's the reason I added the text version of the same.
DeleteMoving the text version to the top, hope people will like the idea and read the image, which will show the grotesqueness of the incident.
Someone is Special
Intense piece! especially in the face of Nirbhaya and everything happening in India .... all the best for BAT. :-)
ReplyDeleteBitter truth. Thank you so much Shreyasi.
Deleteheart wrenching piece and that presentations brought everything in front of my eyes as if happening in front of me
ReplyDeleteMy Blogaton Post Letter of A Girl
Thank you so much Cifar :)
DeleteThe story behind the story is even more painful...(from your reply to Vinay) I was just going to ask you that..
ReplyDeletethe story kind of tugs at your heart, and though you are mentally prepared for what is to come, it still punches you in the face.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked them both.
DeleteThis is indeed a painful unsent letter. Those bastards should be sentenced to death.
ReplyDeleteVinayaka Vidhya
Yes, they have to be sentenced to death!
DeleteThis is the most bitter heart wrenching fact and you have brought forward the pathos in a strong way. Speechless.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tanaya :)
DeleteReally touching. Hope no one has to suffer this fate...
ReplyDeleteI wish the same. I wish all the people of India wishes the same.
DeleteSarav,
ReplyDeleteRe-reading this for the third time, I've read many posts from you on similar topics but this one would ascend them. You certainly creatively and thoughtfully weaved the use of blood stains on the paper. And the unfinished word is highly symbolic.
For once I secretly hoped, this letter wouldn't be unsent.
Good luck for BAT. =)
Prunzaye,
DeleteThis is the kind of comment which encourages the writer to explore more, and it more than winning the BAT Crown. Thanks, you made my day!
As you said, the unfinished words are more painful in this letter. Think of the situation that the guy gets to read the letter, for sure he would go mute and mad. I, too, hope the same.
Thanks again for stopping by!
Sarav
That's an awful presentation which adds to the essence of the letter. A social curse well depicted in letter.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for BAT
Thank you so much, Aditya!
DeleteHmm...it is painful even to read it.
ReplyDelete:( Same here.. when I wrote :(
DeleteReminded me of the Delhi rape case... one of the rapist a minor.. how cruel can a person get.. what happens to their soul.. there are so many whats and whys... it is really sad.
ReplyDeleteGood work...All the best for BATOM
Thank you, Megha :D
DeleteAn unsent letter filled with some hard feelings about some painful events that put an end to her wishes...
ReplyDeleteAlso, this post had me moved *till I scrolled down to reach this comment section*
Dunno what to say about such illicit and shameful events happening in this country :(
Same here bro :D
DeleteYour words create a gory and haunting image, and the background adds to it.
ReplyDeleteGood work.
Thank you so much, Gunjan Mam!
DeletePainful!
ReplyDeletereading it tears rolled down my eyes literally.
:( Same here :(
