Dear Hasita,

Let me first tell you this.You transported me back in college time by calling me Devs,I loved it .

I am glad you liked the story.

A little late though but let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on your win.

Yes I thought Nayana was apt and had a choice between Nayana and Dristi and then decided on the former.
I am glad you have decided to pledge your eyes. Thankyou so much for the wishes.
Cannot say about the beautiful heart of mine but i surely am glad to have beautiful friends like you here.

Love,
Devika

The title is also apt and, somehow no one has mentioned as yet, but the name of the little girl is even more apt! - Nayana (a version of "Naina" meaning eyes),
just lovely, Devs.

I loved the story.

It has made me want to pledge my eyes now, something which i have been putting off since many years. I wanted to do this since a young age, when I once took part in a contest about eye donation where we had to draw a poster. I sent in a couple of entries and won on one of them.

Congrats on the nomination as well!
best,
hasita

Dear Babita,

Thats a wonderful way of looking at things, When one door is closed another opens. Having the faith helps.Nothing is forever, Conditioning our minds accordingly helps in combating situations.
I am sure you can put into words whatever you feel like.We are all here to support you and I know theres a writer there waiting to set free and explore the wonderful world of writing.Please release it . For yourself and for us and let us witness your soaring success.
Thankyou so much for the appreciation.Glad you liked the story.

Love,
Devika

All the time many thoughts go on in my mind,but putting it into words is difficult for me.But you have inspired me a lot.Maybe I can atleast try to pen down my thoughts now.But reaching your calibre may take many years for me,but i can keep trying.

Keep up the good work and let it keep coming on.

Love.

Babita

Dear Kamalji,

Thankyou so much for those encouraging words. You portray a tough nut but you are a person with a very soft inside something i mentioned during your wedding anniversary too.

Havent seen Dhanwan but shall try to catch it if available.

Well Kamalji,If a movie producer signs me I shall request them to give the scripting of the comic angle to you. Im sure that will be a real hit.

Thanks once again !

Regards,
Devika

There was a similar story long time back a movie called Dhanwan, Rajesh Khanna and Rakesh Roshan, father of Hritik Roshan, similar theme.

But u really write well.Wish some movie producer catches hold of u, and we could say proudly, see the titles of our friend Devika.that will be the day.

Regards.kamal

Dear Sir,

I shall be very honest and say I was missing your presence here.But glad at last you showed up and I am blessed.
Those words of encouragement shall live in me forever. The best i have ever heard and read. A treasure!!

It is indeed an honour that you found The Adopted Vision worthy of a nomination.
This is one of the most over whelming moments for me to witness the wonderful praises you have showered. Thankyou so very much Sir.!!

Love,
Devika

With just a few hours left in May 2008, I am also going to do the same thing. Yes, I am going to tell the truth. Call the finest post actually so. Call a spade, a spade.

I knew that you were a good poet. Never did I know that you were such a good story teller. A very gripping, non-intrusive narration, with the correct dose of sentiments. Your post has the message of a documentary, but sustains the readers interest as only a thriller movie can do.

I salute the story teller in you.I bow down to the love that resides in the depths of your heart, that manifests as a post like this one.

I wish they had a category for the all-time finest post of IL. If they had your post would have a place of pride there.
May you and yours be always blessed.

Love,

Devika,
A very nice one with a message....
My uncle and aunt gave their eyes for donation....I had also made up my mind long time ago...and I surprised to learn from my daughter that she would like to donate her eyes and each and every organ which can be utilised...

Why can't we donate to others and make their life happy....after our demise what is the use of such organs...mm...
