Dear Vandhana,
Thanks for much for the help. I would hate to be responsible fo the glasses on the pretty faces of my IL friends.
Yes I too wish there are many more strong women like Vaidehi!
Thanks for writing in!
Love,
Devika

A really nice story. I wish more women are like Vaidehi. I adjusted the font size for you. Do let me know if there any problems reading it now.

Dear Devika,
A very poignant tale...beautifully told...
If only every woman found the courage to stand up against the injustice meted out to them, these sort of atrocities would definitely become less prevalent in society with time....
stories like this should hopefully inspire atleast some of the many silently suffering vaidehis....

Dear Devika,
That was a good story ....i wish in real life also women who face such a life with such heartless husbands have the strength to walk away. Very nice portrayal of Vaidehi and her father , not to mention the hubby and all his mistresses.....Tiara is such a beautiful name! Happy to see such a courageous and happy ending in a way!
Good story telling....you have it all Mole!

Dear Devika,

Very well written story, to Vaidehi ... most of the suffering women should have courage like Vaidehi to lead an independent life instead of thinking about the society.....

Good narration about the characters....
