adamkhan:

This was a treat indeed. This is the kind of writing in the english language which should be part of our school curricula & not the westoxicated or farangi-infested ``literature`` which is posted here by the fat-laden behinds--a.k.a Ba ba Blacksheep.

Urstruly is another great story-teller. Read his stuff , if you have not already.

great job ADAM!
its a magnificent piece of work!
It is one of the few pieces that I could i feel i was experiencing myself. i came from a very similar place, but in punjab. Your article really paints the pictures, and shows the colors of a typical ``mohallah``
good job.. keep it up! good luck!

This is a masterpiece indeed! A splendid depiction of the prevailing soceity and its grotesque norms.
All the characters have been beautifully carved out and though some might seem redundant in the beginning, seem to build up well towards the end. It`s been a while since i read such a brilliantly executed piece of fresh prose.
Looking forward to read more from you.

PS. Can`t help agreeing with kaptain...constantly repeated same old political and diplomatic BS keeps adorning the `Main Page` on this website while such exquisite literary works are cast intto these inferior-looking sections hardly noticable when one visits the main page, unless he scrolls down. I find them really pointless and condescending for the writers.
