Very catchy piece. Couldn`t move my eyes off of the page. Didn`t like the way you ended it though.

Plus the moral ambiguity of the piece is the kind of brave leap you dont see enough on Chowk these days. Credit to the writer for having narrator sympathetic, intelligent, Pakistani and law breaking at the same time!

This is pretty good. Clean, spare language, good time shifting. Stay away from the triple exclaimation marks.

More, please.
