@ Vipul Grover:
lol jus realized i crossed it by 3 words :p you are a number man ha ha !
But the credit for me attempting this 55 format should go to you ! Infact I came to know about this 55 thing through you only
ok am editing 3 words to fit it exactly into 55 -

Well you have perfected it at the first try it seems.
I was not aware of the 55 fiction thing until now and hence thought that probably the story was truncated during editing by mistake
Anyway very good start, I must say!
But if I have to write a story someday, I would not limit myself to 55 words for sure. I know it is kind of talent to tell such stories in limited words, but I did not like the concept(but then, that is just me).

Very touchy story. I liked it. I think this 55 fewer is very contageous like swine flu.

Its a good concept, i liked it very mcuh, and it has conveyed the feelings, to what it is intended to.
I felt a bit surprised after reading, because a few minutes before, i was reading a thread somewhere, where it is written that Indian writers are not so good in expressing feelings in a novel..
But look here, we have someone who has done it in just 55 ….
i ll also try this -
