I think I should take this time to thank everybody who inspired me to write this post and also go public with it. This “thank you note,” feels much like how Kiran Desai must have felt after having received her Booker Prize. Anyway, without much adieu, I’d like to thank my dear friend Flip-flop without whom, I wouldn’t have enough chutzpah to publish this story here. I owe one to oys_chill for having gone public with his memory lane, sum_off, john_galt to name a few Sajha guilders that I read so frequently. And to sum it up, definitely Khaled Hosseini for having written such a beautiful novel in the form of “The Kite Runner.” If you haven’t read it, I suggest you go ahead do that. This one, I personally feel, shouldn’t collect dusts in Barnes and Nobels or other bookstores. Cleopatra— I didn’t realize I had that in me, until I wrote this piece. I feel deeply for several things: mostly nature but this time I presume it was my “jhilke’s” turn of getting some attention. Captain H— Thank you again for your visit here. You bring in that fresh breath of air that is much needed. I’d have to admit, just like you, as I keep revisiting my copy of “The Old Faithful” I assess it from different standpoint. Looks like all those years of reading Shakespeare and poems that hardly made any sense then, has actually taught me a lot. Loote K— No, I think I like my personal space better. Just like my “jhilke,” I haven’t developed an affection for spotlight. Btw, thanks for giving me ideas. I might have to explore my capacity in the four-legged creature. Khaobadi— Sorry to dishearten you. Neither of your perspectives is accurate. As mentioned before, the idea with which I sat down to write this story was to celebrate the bond of friendship I share with my “jhilke.” I wonder what made you come up with such a preposterous view. But again, thanks for your thoughts. Flippu/ Nepal ko choro— No, entitling me as “Agatha Christie” in the making might put Ms. Christie to shame. I don’t think I got such a caliber. I scribbled my thoughts in the process of becoming more expressive and affluent with words. That’s all, nothing less, nothing more. Hence, keeping high hopes might just backfire. Sajhauser— That was the whole idea. In today’s fast paced life we are so deeply engrossed in getting things done that we forget to LIVE let alone try to view the world from someone else’s perspective. Hence, here was just a small attempt from my end. Thank you for appreciating that.
