Indisguiseji, Thank you for your kind support and compliments. >P.S: I hope I/We would not have to wait >much longer for Sitara's considerable >expertise and creativity in "pandulipi." :) The work tells a story of some "Sitara". So I would say, readers are probably going to find a shadow of Sitara in it ;-) ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** Nails, It will depend on Nepali readers affirmative responses. Even then, you will have to wait for several months, if not years. But thank you for your interest. ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** Gunaraj, Thank you for your support to a good cause of HeNN and also for your earlier remarks in a good humor on our initial confusion about shipping thing. Thank you for your understanding regarding our inexperience. Everything is now taken care of and they are going smoothly. Thanks for the support. ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** गौतमजी, व्यग्रता यता पनि उत्तिकै छ हजुर । दोनो तरफ आग है बराबर लगी हुई । ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** Lahure-jyu, You are so adorable. Thanks a lot for your delightful note. I have had chance to read your remarks to Samrat Upadhyay's works. So I am both scared and curious about how your cogent readership is going to find my humble work. I gathered you particularly look for a depth in character building and complexity of characters. One of the commentators on the book has made a special point about that. He writes, although the story, a monologue of the protagonist, flows in one direction, there are more stories than one developing and they move ahead in parallel. One is told and is meant to be obvious. The other is untold and subtle. One is based on what the protagonist says or tries to believe. The other is based on what protagonist says do not mean or what there actually are. One is about chemical medium- the substance that facilitates the reaction but does not get changed itself. The other is about the reactants and the chemistry building up. One runs amok on ad hoc assumptions. The other moves patiently as an undercurrent. These parallel stories meet at one single point at the end of the story as a grand encounter of two fierce opponents. These two opponents, however, face and look at each other and go to two different directions quietly without a fight. Did they not really fight ? Who is the winner ? These are questions left for readers to decide for themselves. Okay, not everything was the commentator's words. I spiced it up a little bit. I hope that's fine. Happy reading to all customers who are going to get the books in a few days. Nepe
