Story Writing

Sads,
The concept that i am thinking of involves 3 teenage girls (of course!) and the way their life changes over the years.....Inital chapter has some introduction to these characters ...

1. One girl goes abroad to study meets a young man and  falls in love. But fate takes her back home to take care of her ill father. She never marries and through letter knows the progress of her lovers life. Though many men fall in love with her, She refuses to part with her memories of the past.
2. Another one moves to europe (to study or work not decided), falls in love with a girl. Marries a guy following parental pressure. Goes back, mental conflict. Divorces. Comes back as the other girl refuses to be a part of her for life. Meets a young man, who has his own reasons not to marry and finally settles down with him for the society.
3. The last one moves to middle east and am not sure of an exiciting story to pull through
Ending:Something feel good...:-)
Let me know what u guys think, I dont think i can let most of the people i know to reivew this book:-) [and that includes my mom!]
Love
Shon

Last Letter


P,
Phew - been a long day, just wrapped up my work. The bed looks inviting and my body aches, but wanted to write this email to you before I crash.
Ok. It looks like I am not going to be getting the call-log of my mobile after all.
As I told you a few days ago, I wanted to bring closure to this issue AFTER I had sent you the log. But looks like I am not getting that log.
I am writing this out of respect that I have for what we shared and for what it has meant to me in the past. 
I feel I had been treated very unfairly. I feel hurt that you chose to believe something about me without checking with me first. I am disappointed that you didn't have the courage to talk to me honestly about it. I am disappointed that you continued to pretend, perhaps even to yourself, that you "never doubted my integrity". I feel foolish for talking to you about what I was going through in my life.
As someone said, it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. This time I was lucky. I am afraid that the next time I won't be. One has to go through it to understand the pain and turmoil it causes.
I have always brought a high level of authenticity, compassion and empathy to every relationship. Perhaps you don't value these things. What has happened is gone, and no amount of wanting, wishing, or regret will undo or change what's already happened. However, I am finding it hard to accept that and move on.
In a way whatever happened may be for my good too - because it clearly helped me see people in perspective.
Please understand that I am NOT trying to blame you or be judgmental about what happened - I just want to tell you what I feel. So - I am not looking for a response or discussion or argument from you. I am not asking you to FIX anything. It's all about me and what I feel...
All I ask of you is not to get involved my life and I too will not get involved in yours. 
Wish you all the best,
- M

Miracle Moment


Every moment is a miracle. Though we often take this world and this life for granted, the fact is that we exist, experience and even thrive against unimaginable odds.

You're already a winner because you are here today, living and breathing, capable of making decisions, thinking thoughts, taking action and accomplishing great things. A whole miraculous universe is available to you here in this moment. Those people who are able to tap into just a fraction of their potential enjoy stunning levels of success and achievement. Imagine what would happen if you were to do the same, right now.

Though you've made mistakes, though others may have hurt you, though you may be weary and filled with regret, still this life is full of positive possibilities for you. Step back for a moment and look at the whole picture. Consider the boundless magnitude of your good fortune. Live every moment as if it were the most miraculous thing you could ever imagine, because it is.
