Nepe jee, Many thanks for you reply. Will look forward to Ashu's update on the cultural side of life - cheers Ashu. I see no reason why you cannot fulfil your 'khwahishein' of rejuvenating the burning artistic fire in you. May I add that your grasp of literature - let's say, Nepali and Hindi/Urdu - is phenomenal. I have greatly enjoyed your original insights on many things - not to mention, literature - this being my ever consuming passion. So, thank you. Also thanks for directing me to the thread with images of one of Sajha's foremost stock characters in the form of Poonte, actively playing the role of 'King Lear'! Though not quite in the Shakespearean sense! May I also add that he is by far the funniest man I have come across in the Sajha land. There was this thread on why-I-am-not-gonna-have-sex-b4-marriage or something to that effect yesterday, and one of the posters had the gall to tell him off by asking him to go and masturbate. Then, lo, all hell broke loose! The Poonte adrenalin kicked in massively, and he came out with the best lines of humour I have yet come across. Doubtless, sent me to smithereens! On my drive home from work, I was still laughing! Oh, my. Thanks Poonte jee. :))) ******************* Jhon, good to see you again mate. And likewise John, if I can copy you verbatim - alway eager to read from the gem of a writer. Carpe diem
