sum off, I will tell u why u are better than us lesser mortals. "......verified the man who still looked like a young Jimmy Carter." "......asked the mercenary healer who later charged the woman for his questions." The fact that u can come up with such sentences proves that u are gifted. I cant do that and thats the reason I am not writing on sajha.There's however a very thin line between being a genius and not making much sense. Watch out for that. What i take away from your story is that: Divyeswori is the person she is, because she had a mother that she had. (Phew!! EVerything in fiction has to have a reason haina?? ...nobody can be mean on thier own account, not atleast in fiction) But the greater lesson to me from this story is the title of the story itself. Case 1273. That after a lifetime of scheming and plotting and manipulating and achieving...this is what it boils down to. That divyeswori pandey has become a case. this is what she has to show for a lifetime lived. And I also noticed that you have one hell of a imagination. That is the most important asset of a writer, by far, in my opinion. Having said all of this, is the conclusion of the story somewhat of a letdown? Yeah, a little bit. I found it a wee bit rushed. And please dont make us draw conclusions on divye's state of mind on the basis of that one dream alone. That is not enough. Especially after all that background. BUt please keep on writing. If they opened a fan club for you....I would be the first to sign up. And like everybody else I too am waiting for the .....days of nepal.
