Usually, when I am ready to thank all who read my stories, I can’t find my story in the first page. So, this time, I want to make sure I thank everyone before the thread vanishes. Samsara – Genius? Wow? Isn’t that word reserved for those who teach at the Aero-Astro Department of MIT? I am not deserving. It gave me goosebumps. Thank you for reading, sir. Gahugoro – Thank you again. The translation is ‘olive’—correct? Try telling that to an American; chances are he has not even heard of it. You have always encouraged me to be better. Bless your heart. SNDY/ Tamang_lady – Sometimes, when I am in a theater watching a bad movie with bad acting, bad plot, and bad dialogues, I think about all the compliments I have gotten in Sajha—and I wonder, what those people would think of this movie? I wish I believed in me as much as you guys do. And, I wish I believed that I am a writer. I seriously don’t. God bless you and your family for being kind to me. I always wish you the best. I know you two are friends. I browse Sajha here and there. I find your Nautanki Land and Chautaari to be the two most peaceful places in Sajha. Too much harmony there. Nepalonmymind – Your opinion is very important to me. The reason is simple: You are the only person in Sajha who has constructively criticized me four times. All those four times you were right on the money. I love the way you tell me how I can be better. Besides, you care enough to decipher the tone of the story—and you have never dismissed me as a loser who freelances in Sajha. But, here is a big but … why didn’t I talk about Dipesh in the end? Just read the second part of the story where the three men talk about ANA. You will read Dipesh’s desperate attempt to guard himself. Dipesh knows he is not as proper as Nirmal; so he accepts (or pretends to accept) what is not as good as Nirmal. I did not feel like spelling that out. Through those young people at ANA, he defends himself. Also, women are women’s biggest enemies. Suman is not judgmental. The only thing that bugs him is that Pratibha did not do ‘eeni mini mini mo’. It was Amrita who was judgmental. If I am taking a moral high ground by saying what Amrita says, then why not give me some credit for Suman Joshi’s neutrality? I really don’t believe there are antagonists in this story. This story, in my opinion, is totally faith-driven (most probably, even the affair part that does not concern the story). Please don’t fight with me. I can’t afford to lose you. Ratobhaley – Thank you as always. So, you could not provoke nepalonmymind? She is tough to crack open. Khusi – Thank you for reading my ‘In Sequence’. You were one of the 11 people who read that piece. When people dismiss something that you truly believe in; for lack of a better phrase; that sucks. Cowboys – Thank you. I can only hope you are not what I think you are (NFLwise). Like most football fans, I can’t stand them. Seriously. Dissident – ‘Good one’? Is that it? Isn’t that what you say when your co-worker tells you a lousy joke? I want more. YACC – Thank you. You have always been there. I can always count on you. Prakash_ji – lau na lau google maa testo ke phelaa paarnu vo ta? 2, 3 din kurnu vayo vane, ehi story nai return garchha google le. Thank you. Drop by more often. San likes that too. Kina_kina – If you keep on commenting, I will keep on writing. Thank you for taking your time to drop a line. Meera – People don’t kill themselves out of love, they commit suicide out of confusion. Have you ever read a suicide note? You will be surprised to know how little sense it makes. Thank you for reading. [Comments are unedited, I apologize in advance for typos.]
