  1. You are right we should never let anyone define our limits. Unfortunately we tend to blaim our responsibilities or people around us when we fail to reach our goals or fulfill dreams.

  2. I’m in awe of you, Shilpa. You are an expert in crafting so much in so few words. I’m attempting a really tiny tale today with inspiration from you, of course. 🙂

  3. When people talk about being contended with whatever I have in life, I tell myself the same ‘No use discussing an ocean with a frog’s No offences meant to them, but so many do not know the need to dreaming in others.

  4. People think that after the world’s approval they can easily move further, but like the elephant and the chain they are always held back by something or the other. Nicely used prompts!

  5. This is so realistic. Each one at some point in time feel trapped under the burden of responsibilities and expectations, And limits are manmade mostly from fear. Very nice.

  6. brilliant with two prompts and u made it so effective with 100 words. I have been reading your day1 and day 2 too. quite amazed how u come up with two prompts in 100 defining words.

  7. The last line says it all! Concise yet packed with a powerful message.
    You really have the way with thoughts and words. One more reason for me to fall in love with your writing!
