But a baby is a baby, and deserves to be swathed in the finest gossamer and adored. Really liked the idea, just wish you had let it stew a little more to get it out in all its glory. er…looks like I’m a lone dissenter, but the C-section shows quite definitely.

And like Puzo said, 'With time all heroes seem a little foolish.' So it is for the martyrdom! Reads really well.

When there are more than two people in a story, I get confused :| Not your fault, obviously. I admire the way you handle conversations. Its always smooth, is never 'over the top' yet contains such beautiful lines that one can relate to.. esp the bit about denial was wonderful .. Also liked the way it ended .. another irony and another martyr :>) It took me a while.. had to read it thrice!

That line was highpoint for me (if you ask me, and since you haven't asked, I guess its a case of me telling more than you asking). Before I get entangled in the parenthesis of my own making, let me confess that I am just trying to lengthen my comment before stating the obvious. But since I have promised I won't state the obvious anymore, there'z very little left for me to say. The C-section scars surfaced in few sections. But overall you managed to drive the message across. I won't elaborate on the 'message'.. coz that would again be stating the obvious ;-) And also, you may say that, there wasn't any message in the first place. Darn! I don't know why I am so hell bent on putting words in your mouth. Maybe I should shut up and let you say something now, for a change. p.s. : excuse the inane comment. I am just killing time at work. Or maybe its the time, that is killing me. Either ways, hope you understand. >> Everyone deserves to bask in their hard earned martyrhood.

" Denial is never successful, because when someone accuses you, she’s prepared for denial. There is an ‘I thought you’d say that’ thing about denial that makes it so impotent." loved that bit. so true :) many stories are rehashed over and over again. but what makes each of them fresh is that somehow the writer manages to convey that this is about a different set of people and therefore a different story.
