  can you explain the title in your story's context?

  Ramji,
  
  the editors removed the two lines - that justified
  the title. I had the maid refer to the Gowthama
  muni who doubted his wife Agalya and made her a
  stone.
  
  I do not know whether to ask the editors why they did this..!

  sathya,
  I like the last twist in the story and the 'smooth flow' of the story.
  However, the theme of the story has been over exploited by most of the commercial writers working in the Tamil-fiction-writing-industry.
  I will be happy to see you weaving a story around a less used theme.
  Keep it up.
  
  P.S.
  As a writer of your story, you can and have to ask the editiors to explain why they did so.

  Sathiya,
  Congratulations on your first story publication. Since you have my e-mail comments on the draft form, I won't repeat them here. Continued good luck to you!
