Dear Maya Gautam:

Good to read back from you, more than 5 years and 10 months since you last posted!

“still waiting to be heard and freed. Meanwhile my mother had a fatal accident leading to hip replacement surgery. Mentally it’s been a lot. Court proceedings are extremely slow here. It’s killing my enthusiasm for life”

– I assume your mother’s accident was not fatal (that is, resulting in death). I hope that she is recovering well from her hip replacement surgery! I am sorry that your country’s legal system does not allow you to be free from your marriage sooner than.. whenever your divorce becomes legal. Are you living separately from the man who is legally your husband, living an independent life separated from him, practically (although not legally)?

Congratulations for you job promotion, and I hope to read more from you!
