Newuserji, kata gayab ho? aajkal ta pattai paidaina!!! Xena, it was not a sacrasm...I was merely portraying an act of "stupidity" which I probably shall never do it again, I was more concerned with your decision of celibacy. Cheers. Lahure, Look who is talking, your reply has made me believe you could be a far better narrator than I am. I collect bits and pieces, some memories and incidents, I blend them together and gestate something which I am thankful readers like you find interesting. I feel blessed when people like you read my anecdotes. Thanks for reading. Also, thanks for mentioning Jhumpa lahiri, I haven't yet had a chance to read " the interpreter of maladies" but will do as soon as I am done with classes. Sitara is a writer par excellence, as you mentioned, she has a making of katherine Mansfield and many other famous writers. tenga un d?a bueno
