		<description><![CDATA[Beautiful story, Shail! 

I agree with the first comment that people should learn their own worth and not live as extensions of others.

However, in practice, this may be difficult for many. To want &#039;to be needed&#039; is a fairly universal emotion.
&lt;strong&gt;
Me: Yes Manju, that is the ideal condition. But real life doesn&#039;t work that way. Humans have feelings and the &lt;em&gt;the want to be &#039;needed&#039;&lt;/em&gt; as you rightly pointed out is universal and what is more, compelling enough to make one lose perspective and take one&#039;s own life. 
Thanks!&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brilliantly put.  All of us have been through something similar I guess!  Yeah, the thought of the child should have come earlier!  But the thought play is brilliant

&lt;strong&gt;Me: Thanks Ritu. Ideally it should have come first. But how many of them leave kids and go away unable to face life! Just recently I heard of a woman who gave up her life leaving behind a five-month old. Reminded me of this one that I wrote.&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Husband is the jerk, but why did the thought of the baby come in the end it should have been the first thought! Shail, this is a good story.

&lt;strong&gt;Me: Yeah there are some like that. Hmm.... people forget children all the time Chirag. In this case the man has forgotten the child when he treats his wife thus. And she in her misery forgets the child although for a short time, till she hears him cry.
Thanks!&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

The pain has been beautifully worded.

		<description><![CDATA[This one had me on the tenterhooks, and I actually resisted the urge to read the last line first, for a change. 

Beautifully expressed. And so very real too. This is the story of so very many many women.

&lt;strong&gt;Me: Yes it is the story of very many women. Thanks Usha! :)&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
