Dear Gupta,

The sense that I had after reading the story was that of incompletion. I can see that you have the makings of a good writer... but still the ideas seem to need a bit more baking in the kiln of heart and mind. The major problem of the story is that in it `Salman` and `Suleman` have still not become complete symbols. You have however a depth of feeling and sincerety which are charateristic only of artists.

I knew it. It was all Salman Khan`s fault!

He deserved what he got! A mouthful of tea!

But what did I do to deserve this write-up?

Wait - I don`t want to know!
