Haddock jee, hahahahah.... sorry hai.... I call anything I pen down as 'ramblings'--- a sleep of tongue bhayechha. Risaani maaf paun.. :) Ramblings - not literally, as in grand gripping tales, anecdotes, aadi ityaadi. Jokes aside, you have my full encouragement, mate and I look forward to your contributions in due course. Can I btw say that I do really enjoy reading your posts - you're one of those few Sajha writers with a gifted mind to analyse issues with precision? With original thoughts. (I'm serious). Every Place : Every Person : A Himalayan Tale from Darjeeling"? Yes, that was the one. I have yet to order a copy of the book. Pse do share your thoughts hai once read. Many thanks and take care. *************** ""his two assistants were a Rai and a Yakha."" Note: Yakha is actually a Rai sub-caste, like Bantawa, Chamling, Thulung etc. Have a good day.
