Thank you all for reading and putting up with my errors, typos and fat-fingering. I shall make a solemn effort to proof read things a couple of times before I post again. Flip Flop: Thanks. That was a mistake I made and you are right in figuring out it was Reema. I am contemplating publishing this in the blog section and will make note of this error if and when I do re-post. Old Maven : Thanks. Glad you liked it. Thapap: Thank you for reading and pointing out my mistake. I fat-fingered that one. It should have been Form 1040. Ashu: Thanks for your comments. I have a deep lurching suspicion that you might be one of those "super-achievers" too :) More power to you if you are. Lootekukur: Bhow, bhow , bhow from me too :) Thanks for your encouraging remarks. That's motivation enough to write the second part :) Cerine, Juggy:: Thanks :) One or two more parts are probably needed to complete the story that has been brewing in my mind. SNDY: Thank you for dropping by :) Mr. Hyde: Thanks for your remarks. Glad you liked that bit :) Sunnydev: Thanks for your comments. When you say "Hope you are honest with us in this story", I must clarify that this is a work of fiction. Like some of the other stories I wrote on Sajha, the characters and events may be drawn in part from real life , but all in all and overall , this is intended to be fiction and is not the story of any one person living or dead. Any of what I write should not be taken as my story or the story of any one person I know. Rythm: Very nice of you to say that :) All I can say is interpret it anyway you like. Maybe if I can get part two out, it will clear any doubts. Cerine: You are right, there is nothing extraordinary about this story. Especially in terms of the plot. I am not good with plots. This is just another person's pursuit of happiness and meaning in life. At least that is what I was thinking when I started putting it together. Disco Dancer, Mr. Hyde : Talwar is a Punjabi name. I had a similar reaction too the first time I heard it :) When you write on Sajha, I guess you got to make sure you pick names that do not belong to people you know and I know a few Dr Singhs and Dr Patels, hence this name. There was a girl in college with that last name if you really want to know where I got it from :) Nepalonmymind: Thanks for the feedback. That very thought crossed my mind too. When I built the framework of the story and came up with the six or seven segments, I realized I had to focus on one because of the nature of Sajha. The way I see it, this forum is a bulletin board where anything beyond light fiction might not draw much attention. There was a debate going on in my mind on whether I should focus on the marriage before it broke down or after. I chose the latter (a) to be as concise as I could be under the circumstances and (b) because it potentially provides a bridge to a second part which I think is needed to complete the story forming in my mind. But thanks for the honest feedback, I knew that was an area I was neglecting at some risk. Amazing: Thanks, please don't hesitate to jot down what you think after you read it. As hard as I tried, it did get to be a bit long. I would hope justifiably so but that is for you and the rest of the folks to judge :) Tamang Lady: Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comments :)
