5. Such a thoughtful message in such few words…lovely 🙂

6. Only in six sentences? Thats something Shailaja 🙂

7. what we miss out on in life…
   nice story, Randy

8. When she finished the book and looked around for her daughter, she was disappointed as the little girl had replaced her with a book of her own 🙂 Does it sound right? 🙂

9. OMG! There’s so much captured in these few lines! 🙂

10. Happens a lot. Nice take.

11. Feel sad for Lila as she needs more attention. Real fun takes a backseat with pages getting more importances than humans.

12. Lost moments! Sigh, happens in many lives. Nicely penned.

13. Ah touching one Shailaja! And we need to be more careful in balancing our interests and the feelings of our loved ones.

14. Thoughtful, touching & true story, Shailaja 🙂

15. Everything happens for the best of reasons, Swathi. So glad something positive came out of your experience 🙂

16. Thank you very much, Vinodini <3

17. Very true, Beloo. How much we choose to be present in others’ lives is determined by our interest. Now that gives me an idea for another post 🙂

18. I am sure you will, Pixie. Aren’t we all writers first? 😉

19. Thank you very much 🙂

20. I wish she had too. Going forward , I hope Lila doesn’t do the same , of course.

21. Thank you kindly, Indira! Welcome to my blog <3

22. Thank you so much, Priya. I can understand when you talk about missing many prompts. Don’t worry about it. Things happen. 🙂

23. Ah, you caught me! And I have changed it now 😉 Thanks for the comment 😀

24. It happened with me once that I was reading a novel and my brother was trying to get my attention! I refused to budge from the book! He got so angry that he had stopped talking with me for days saying its the book that matters for you! After that incident I am very careful as when I hold a book and when I socialize!

25. This is such a common occurrence in our day to day lives. We often forget our priorities while getting engrossed in our interests. You’ve captured it so beautifully in these few lines Shailaja!

26. That can and does happen so often…not only with our children but even with adults in our lives – partners, friends, parents….when we get too engrossed in a book or something that is deeply engaging for us and we miss those moments when the other person is trying to show or share something that is deeply meaningful to them at that point of time. A thoughtfully written story, Shailaja!

27. Awww!! that was just sad.. but I guess this happens inadvertently as well, doesn’t it?
    I really wish when my time comes, I put down that book.

28. its lovely take of the prompt 🙂

29. Aww… That can so happen to any of us. But some things are way more precious than any novel on earth. I wish she would have put down that book.

30. Beautiful story and nice title.

31. Awesome, somehow i can relate with you in every post that contains a ‘mommy factor’… the reason why i miss many prompts is this.. when i set to write, i get totally engrossed leaving them aside and that hurts them and me, later! lovely, post, dear!

32. Well, it’s six sentences, but I liked it! 🙂

33. Thanks Uma. This is one thing that I consciously try to avoid with my daughter as I watch her grow up before my eyes 🙂

34. wow..that was a quick job on the prompt! And a nice take too..how we immerse ourselves in the fictional page and miss out on the real page!
