okay i did NOT expect this thread to go this long when i posted it. i don't mind the length of the thread, but some of the postings here have made me feel really bad and i have started to feel guilty now. 1) Pratistha is like a sister figure to me and being a nepali, i happen to care for her just like most of we do. 2) i wrote this letter in mere excitement of her safe return and i wanted to thank estes park police and all other concerned local bodies as well. 3) i am not sure and i don't care about the reason behind her escape. what is most important is to find her alive and in good shape. i made this little sarcastic remark just in case if she happened to escape on her own will without been dictated by any illness (god forbids). 4) the intent was purely to express the excitement of her return and nothing else. i hope people don't extend this thread with assumptions and conspiracy theories. 5) Lastly, I apologize to Pratistha and her friends, family, well-wishers or anyone who read this thread and was hurt or felt bad about it in any way. I reiterate that the motive behind the letter was just to thank and nothing else. May lord bless Pratistha and protect her from any undue harm, injury or risk in the future. Amen!! Thanks. Loote
