Beautiful writing. Your mum is my friend. She showed the same beauty in school and college that you so beautifully portray.

Jeevika your words brought me to tears. I would love to read this book. I love way you brought your isolation experience to the characters in the book. I was able to visualise you in your room. Keep up your writing and there is a powerful message here for all of us. Beautiful work ❤️

I'll lend you the book next time we meet! Would love for you to read it - the reason I decided to share my writing on an open platform is the hope it might inspire people to read the books that deserve being celebrated x

I am a batch mate of your mom's from WCC. I love the parallels you draw and I absolutely treasure the introspective space forced on me by the pandemic, in spite of the technology intrusions...Spent almost 5 months alone in my apartment sans any contact with another human. Well written. Keep writing.
