Sum_Off .... this is most probably your best writing yet, atleast for me ... wow, I am finding it hard to word my appreciation to this creation. absolutely loved it... loved it loved it loved it !!! It broke my heart to see, Ashok being the jerk as youve portrayd him to be. But then I have come across atleast 5 families with two brothers of absolute opposite personalities. Your choice of characterisation of sameer and ashok is perfect ! It was definitely sad to see dhana bahadur being abandoned after his sickness. But then truth of the matter is, we are as such. I totally understand the sentiments of the mangala niwaas on the sick dhaney. Again, I know one family back in gyaneshwor that did exactly what you've portrayed here. But the line that touched me the most was: >> “Dijju, it also matters I couldn’t light the fire on his dead body. When I ran away from him, I never saw it coming, that he too can run away from me …” << Good job Sum_off .. Cant wait for your next writing !
