All I can say is I love it! Reading the story for the first time felt like watching a mini-movie of a cute and struggling Nepali couple who still believed in achieving the American dream, though their personal dreams of getting a degree and a good job for themselves was becoming less significant by the day..lol..Oh yeah..I also loved your description of the girl getting dressed in the traditional attire and ready for Teej with her counterfeit purse--hinting the "still" important status quo for her lol..--Anyhow, looks like you have observed women getting ready for Teej well too often :)! I was totally able to visualize so many ladies like Jini that I know with your description! So, Great JOB. Very realistic and well written story..enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thank you..
