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 Leo. I'm glad you asked the question. The reason considering that it is a letter written by the victim who is stabbed, raped and breathing her last. She is 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 also spills on the paper.
ReplyDeleteI can understand your frustration, that's the reason I have added the text version of the same. Moving the text version to the top to make it easy for readers. Though I prefer to 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.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is Special
heart wrenching piece and that presentations brought everything in front of my eyes as if happening in front of meMy Blogaton Post Letter of A Girl
ReplyDeleteThe story behind the story is even more painful...(from your reply to Vinay) I was just going to ask you that..the 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a painful unsent letter. Those bastards should be sentenced to death.Vinayaka Vidhya
ReplyDeleteThis is the most bitter heart wrenching fact and you have brought forward the pathos in a strong way. Speechless.
ReplyDeleteReally touching. Hope no one has to suffer this fate...
ReplyDeleteSarav,Re-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. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cifar :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm glad you liked them both. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree, Wifey. They have to be sentenced to death!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tanaya :)
ReplyDeleteI wish the same. I wish the people of India wishes the same too.
ReplyDeletePrunzaye,
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of comment that encourages the writer to explore more, and it is more than winning the BAT Crown. Thanks a million and yes, 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. 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.All the best for BAT
ReplyDeleteHmm...it is painful even to read it.
ReplyDeleteReminded 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.Good work...All the best for BATOM
ReplyDeleteAn unsent letter filled with some hard feelings about some painful events that put an end to her wishes...Also, 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 :(
ReplyDeleteYour words create a gory and haunting image, and the background adds to it. Good work.
ReplyDeletePainful! reading it tears rolled down my eyes literally.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Aditya!
