sum_off it was another good read, finally the invisible man was alchemized to a palpable pedophile as someone wrote. i didn't by any means anticipate the ending. i presumed that the woman was deluged in her tale of woe (she wouldn't be seen with someone she should be with enroute her maiti).but i comprehend she had a caring better half- who would jump off a building to handicap himself. seemed like some hackneyed indian flick. i haven't read any of samrat upadhyaya's and it would be inappropriate to juxtapose your writings with any other. but i still have to tell you your writings give me RK Narayan influences as imi rightly said. Not a voracious reader, i had this affinity for RK Narayan's journals couple of years back when i used spend some time in a murky school library. The reminiscences still afresh, your postings jolt those memories. Anyways keep writing and sum_off why dont you go for black and white, i wouldn't buy them but i assure you that i would borrow and read them. sum_off, you bet everyone can correlate to your stories. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts
