This is not exactly one of my favorite pieces by you. Personally I think you have been funnier and better than this. Or maybe it is just me……I expect you to beat yourself each time; you being my favorite writer.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but somehow I feel you were not completely in your element when you wrote this. The words don’t seem to flow as easily as has been your trademark. Here too I think it is my own fault. Maybe the disclaimer justifies everything….it is just guff-gaff. But what if the disclaimer wasn’t there?
You will again excuse me if I am wrong, because the last thing I want is for u to think that I am being critical where it is completely unwarranted. But in this piece you take a middle ground between humor and philosophy (for lack of a better word) and kind of remain undecided on both. But then again, in the end it is all a dream so maybe that justifies everything again. But is the dream, the excuse to end the plot or a natural progression of the story?
And now to what I love about this piece:
It has three more consonants, and an extra 500 dollars worth of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ vowels.
“The name makes it more comfortable than a sofa,†(such great insight in that sentence!)
God looked exactly like how we feel at Tribhuvan Airport when our mother tell us, “Arko patak ali chaadai aaija hai.â€
Personally, I prefer a female antagonist; they are interesting. Where is your female antagonist?†(hehehehe)
Absolute Gems all of the above sentences and only you could write them.
