my oh my captain, never meant to embarass you hehe..i hope your nose is intact and in proper place now :P. your modesty knows no bounds. i am sure my opinion about you resonates with others who follow your articulate writing style. i have found that there are quite a few posters who have equally genuine views over a subject matter but not just as good way of expression as you or some of the other posters have. as they say in nepali "sunar ko dus prahaar (?) ra lohar ko ek" full marks for your understanding over the pyschology of nepalese living in US and elsewhere. to be really honest, threads like those you create make sajha more versatile else it would be a monotonous podium for politics, women, sex or kids only hehe :P and yes, i will take 2-3 extra drinks for our freindship, that's for sure....hehe...sharabi ko bahane ki talash thi re ke! :P (guff di halya ni :D). Shrish, LOL. i did not mean to direct a derogatory remark on your affinity for ghazals. although not a regular reader, i have found myself in awe with some of those great pieces that you come up with. you've got a talent. keep it up! have a great weekend ya'll LooTe
