. svengali - What a vivid and lucid portrayal of the valley, which I have almost forgotten! I could literally hear those morning bell-ringings of temples, could witnessed going through hassles to get packets of milk, reminiscence of collecting ten soap wrappers to get a free soap, hustle and bustle of vegetable market - so transparent! Very well descibed and lemme tell you one do not need to include 'dialogues' to make a story good if you are Aesop! :-) Also, thank you for keeping up your word, much appreciated!
