great narration! brought back the memories of those days when we used to be the "permanent" residents of freak street. indeed, the owner of snowman is/was really "orthodox".he used to keep an eye on our every action. mr.stern face, square. like father like son. i heard that the son is more or less the same. once my frens were thrown out  of cafe for smoking X inside the restroom upstairs.i've really fond memories of that place. instead of chaotic thamel, we always loved the laid back shadowy streets of Jhonche.
looking forward for the next part.one more thing, a famous mathematician once said:" Keep it complex, stupid". but here, i would like to say. " Keep it simple,genius"
