hunk, thanks for your compliments, I wished the story was more concise....cannot help digressing. And what a surprise....where are you in south? Miss lost in translation....ni hao, Didn't I tell you I was badly mutated? I look like an amalgamation of godzilla and kingkong...I only lack their sizes. lahure jyu, Reading your reply makes me change the our old forbidden cliche' to "modesty is the best policy" . I am not certainly not worthy of such adulation....but like an avarice newbie...I also cannot be more happy to be praised by such a luminary like you. well said humdrum, I had met a few georgtownians in DC last year...all students of medicine...they asked me to get my statistic straight.. the percentage of whites smoking pot was exponentially higher than african americans when compared to their percentage in population. Happy thanksgiving to you too. Highfly, wish I had more time for the sequel...which I might...during winter holidays...thanks for reading. Sristi, Thanks for reading...I do not see you much in sajha these days...hibernating??? Hurray, you know how it is in smalltown don't you? whites despise blacks and call em names...but the term afro was just a suitable adjective for the story...had I been a racist...i would not have made friends with jermaine. your narration of small town make me go back to illinois again...how about eating pumpkin pies and visiting fairgrounds during sundays? gaule, I learn from people, I keep books aside when it comes to real life issues and yes...meeting every unique character makes me look from their perspective. anynomous, I am sorry not being able to stand up to your expectations...but then what would you expect from a newbie like me? it is all gibberish...I am glad you did not miss your train yesterday....
