Shirishji, thank you, it gives me real pleasure to know your read my anecdotes, still. And the super fast reader that you are! ;) Bhauteji, I remember those Thailand days and having to improvise ways to venture around town. Thank you again for reading. Kalopaniji, you did not read the end obviously. As to the origination of your interesting question, they say, "if you ain't getting IT, it's always on your mind," hoina hajur? ;) Thank you for comment. Camoflaged, "Welcome to the Club ho ki, the Band Wagon ho ki, the Circurs ho" :) I think it goes through all those phases in due time. ThapaP, you always make me smile hajur. I am one of those hopelessly impulsive, moody writers--lekhna man lagyo ya gunaso garna man lagyo bhaney, it is therapeutic kya. Nails, "Sounds Again" is certainly the one after my heart because the premise on a child's hopelessness. But I take your comments for this one too, any day. Manvi, you can call me dijju, Sitara or "You Can Call Me Al" It's great to know you sometimes read my writing. Aaja badta naak phoolcha kya. Killerspin, thank you for asking--Yes, I am very happy with my marriage. With so much going on around me, I just feel like a Rookie Juggler who's still learning the act. As for blame in marriage, to paraphrase what Khalil Gibran said, " How can you blame/punish one whose remorse is greater than his misdeeds?" Khusi, those bygone days are the ones that allow us to make the choices we make in life; at least, we can laugh at it in the company of friends. Lovely to see you here. Atlian, thank you for your kind words. It's my day that I see new names here.
