Thanks Anup for your comments. Just a few quick clarifications: a) I harbour no animus of any kind toward Nepe. He and I have been through a lot on Sajha together for better or worse. It's just fun, once in a while, to poke him in the rib by administering a taste of his own medicine to him, and watch his reaction. Tetti ho. :-) b) Ditto for HKP editors. They could have honestly introduced you as a DC-based Nepali music fan. As a result of their intro and based on what I knew about you, I expected more from your piece, and came away somewhat disappointed. Then again, I am just a mere reader giving you my comments. c) You will disagree with me, but let's be honest here: Your piece was not much of a 'bislayshan' in any sense. It was , as you right said, "a celebratory piece". And that's FINE. As a reader, I can live with that, while expecting MORE reviews from you in future. More later, oohi ashu
