Hey Sum_Off, I don't think you need to insult yourself or your prose by asking affirmations from all sajha readers. I take the immense liberty to be the voice of the sajha and sajhi users to declare that you write fabulously fantastic (just trying to immitate your writing using an adjective after an adverb in sequence!). I have seen the reponses on your earlier 'Nepali Marraige' prose and that is the source of my logical deduction. Anyway, since i am no good with words and even worse to apprecaite good work i would stop blabbering and fully encourage you to post the II part of the journal and keep writing. We need some Kiran Desai and Naipaul coming out from the Gorkhali land. BTW,,,is Manoj a fiction or there is some parallel to your life or the life of someone you know? My best wishes.....
