Don Shultz

Shows some literary genius. I must say that your keen sense of humor go a long way to making `Don Shultz` an unrivaled success.
kudos to you

I felt I was right there in Don Shultz`s class, trying to figure out if he was one of my most inspiring professors or just a crazy, self-centered man set loose on the McGill student-body. Thank you for sharing this class-room with me...

harimau,

I told you before... I am not going to respond to your lies and petty insults...

However I am sure Aisha`s SJSU is much better than Gymno`s El Camino County College...

Mohammed;

This was a first class piece of writing, an engaging character study, humourous and perceptive. I look forward to reading more of your work on Chowk!

Welcome to CHOWK, Mohammad Ali Shaikh.
I sure hope that we will be hearing more from you here. More Humor and imagination are much needed here.

What you have written may aslo be considered travel writing. Thanks for a fantastic read! I have read the travel writings of Somerset...

and I also saw some of that Somerset style in your ability of conveying a wonderful sense of time and place...

Do you read Somerset?

A refreashing change on Chowk. Don Shultz! What can I say?

All the pith is in the ending... Indonesian women trying to marry Shultz, and chicken is the bait...

Ha, ha, ha...

But the way you protray it... Interesting! In fact , I really like your bow-wow way of taking some converstaion, and bloating it... I say that in all admiration... because laughter aisde, the story is written with ideas and guts -- a strong combination.

Our debutant has cetainly the talent, the knack and the wisdom to produce great literary works. Coherent and explictly descriptive, much is to be looked forward to.

All the best in your future literary endeavors!!

M.A. Shaikh, thank you for Don Shultz. it seems hat your life has been in poems... Lovely, enchanting language!

Fantastic... I like the binary switch betwenn the student and the professor throughout the essay.

Some liners get me ticklish:

``He laughed feverishly. His lips were non-existent, the little teeth he had were stained with coffee.``

Or

``A minute he would be muttering, “Without holding volume constant, a manager is comparing apples to oranges rather than apples to apples,” the other he would start describing his bygone love affair with a buxom girl called Tamara.``

I am glad to see that ``Don Shultz`` is told in its raw emotional form (for all its brilliance, gltter, irony and wit)... To quote Voltaire: ``All styles are good except the tiresome kind!``

…really enjoyed this…i love the way you brought out the varied nuances of the professor’s personality….

good article ....................mcgill huh how are the french girls.........sorry had to ask.......

Very nice.....

How was life as a music student in Tashkent? Also a few stories on St. Catherine`s Street and Old Montreal would be nice. McGill, in the summer, is a beautiful campus.....

Amusing. I was visiting McGill some years ago. Loved the place. It probably would be horrid during winters but the place itself in the background of a Canadian bright yellow fall was beautiful.

Loved the poem.

Very funny....some great lines; ``a thud of a nose``, ``A1 Hamilton product`` etc....writer, you have been reading your not-too-kindsley Kingsley Amis; this is a nice working of a North American `Lucky Jim`.

Schultz is a Germanic name.

Hope to read more on Chowk!

Is Don Shultz really a parady? Is it? You kow what Lord Byron said:

`Tis strange - but true;

for truth is always strange;

Stranger than fiction

Furthermore, superb finale: it left me rolling around the carpet, giggling and laughing in fits. You have the touch of Kingsely Amis and more!

Bravo, my friend!

I find ``Don Shultz`` most unusual and extremely interesting. It has a light quality to it that keeps it afloat.

Thank you M. A. Shaikh, and welcme to Chowk!
