I would like to second Camoflaged [hey there ,Camo!:)] on this one. Why not a second post. It would be less tedious for us readers,eh? Having said that. I must say..this is the best-est short story i have come across in a while. I could swear i knew Mangala Devi... and Dhaney too. Ashok and Sameer..all too familiar. You practically breathed life into these characters. Waiting eagerly till Friday . :)
