Thuldai, man paraidinu bhaeko ma dhanyabaad. Nepali ma nalekheko 8 barsha bhaecha, tei pani ali ali koshish gareko thiye.

Riddle, I'm humbled. I don't think my amateur piece and a literary masterpiece like Palpasa Cafe are even comparable, but I am glad you liked it.

Thank you serial, vasu, Awara, and junkyfunky.

Behoove, thank you for the nice words. Its always nice to hear encouraging words from great writers like you. I had been struggling with Nepali for a while myself. As I started this piece, I started to "think" in Nepali, and then write down my lines in English (unlike my other pieces where I think and write in English). Somehow, that process wasn't doing justice to the lines, say, a Nepali mother speaking in English in a village near Ambu Khaireni would look hilariously awkward. It was an amateur effort, and I am glad you liked it. Amen to your thoughts on them "patriots" as well!

Adventurer, thanks! I've noticed that you have been very encouraging to several writers on sajha. Admirers like you enthuse us writers to come back and write more. Thank you!
