John, I hate to be a critic where I write myself, so I won’t play the role of one. The only reason I am responding is because my name is mentioned twice in your reply. John, you will have a hard time convincing me that ‘falaano’ and ‘dhiskaano’ are better than you. You write anecdotes, and I read them as anecdotes (not short stories). If you choose to do it professionally, you can be one the best in Nepal today; if not the best. Then again, what do I know? I am just a reader. I have a feeling you too are an engineer. We want stats to fit, we want the number of hits to match the number of responses—that ain’t so—or, maybe, you are just a writer who craves for one response that is all about your writing—that ain’t so either. I deleted my last thread out of frustration and I did not feel bad even for a second.
