What more to say John, one more milestone in your writing, nice as usual, just one question>>>is that real incident??? if it is it reminds me of my family saying to me when i was leaving home for job, "केटिहरुबाट बचेर बस्नु है, फेरि तँ फस्लास्।" had been more than year now, seems have no lady luck wid me...:oP...am happy to be single I think.. Single forever... ur incident was morever tragic one, feeling so pure yet "नेपाली समाज" as they say... hope Neema ji is happyly wedded as u say. Keep writing, निर्माण
