....showing his  interest in her creative writing  he asked sipping his tea if anything new was published,  any new novel 
She also was certain  he couldn't  tell the difference between a short story,  micro fiction and a novel and  poetry but he would not reveal his shortcoming, she  was actively  an avid writer but wasn't getting enough time because of her household  chores  daily routine and rounds to appa s  , she stopped mid way seeing  his  eyes dried up of all love and warmth  ,  then she added  what else   could poor appa do besides domestic work , she  will never  be a writer  for her little  literary  experience  such women folk usually  turn  social  informers  gathering  pieces of information from  every where and then passing it on   the only way they can  spend their  time 
She could not  call  her husband's  sister  directly an  illiterate fool so she tried to wrap around  her words 
He explained  appa left her studies  to full time give her attention to their dying mother  , appa was a brilliant student  and gave up her last two   board exams   
Curious she asked what exactly happened  so she gave  up
