Really enjoyed the read. Please do keep writing.
P.S- Durge sounds awfully familiar. infact, i know excatly why it took him 30 additional minutes to fetch veggies from the market. geeta loved sharing with me ;)

Read as -- "geeta loved sharing stories with me"

once again, thanks for reading.

Our chilhood gives us our identity. These kids go through such a transition in their early ages that they carry impressions. Their identity are still their swinging in-between dreams and reality. That's a thought you invoke. That's what a good writer does.

Another good story. Metaphors, detail of select acts and events and a beautiful flow of lexicon are sufficient to give a vivid picture of durgey. After reading your story, I came to know durgey and his aspirations as much as you do. You are a gifted narrator. I'll not miss your new ones.

So , durgey wants Angelina Jolie. huh?

John Galt:

Hats off to you !!!

hiya dannyboy,

how are you?
shall write until I perish....but yes old pals like you visit little these days.

Sunny,
Good response begets good writing....if it is a good writing at all, thanks for your respnose, it was overwhelming.

Mr" where's the fun?"
thanks for your reply....you made a day of this over-the-hill storyteller.

Wonderful read. Good material. Above all, the way it is presented!!

thanks baraljyu,

But the conciseness limits me to expatiate the details. Wish I had more time, sajha had more room and readers had more patience.

Quite witty and nice narration. Keep it up and keep yr stories coming.

But I totally missed the end, I mean the last line. Am I the only one? If so, can someone explain the last line, the Khaireni part.

after goin over it for the second time, ok I think i understand it now
(you mean Khaireni Taar probably and i was thinking about mahila paryatak)

gud one

Master of simplicity, Johnji, thanks for a good read!
Took few minutes to get to the real name of Durgey. Read "Durgey" in English version in the first paragraph.

simple, fluent, gripping ....thanks for such writings...

mahish,
I haven't seen your for a while, how are you doing? your interpretation had me in splits, never thought about the female tourist. Thanks for reading.

Flippy,
True....i try to make my stories as simple and as concise as possible. Esoteric write-ups do not see daylight here at sajha.

Ardent,
Honored and surprised by your reply, I cannot help but ask you one question.....WHERE WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME???

Very nice story John, I always love to read your anecdotes.

I donlt get it. He didnt wanna go out with her because she was from Ambu Khaireni? that place in Nepal? sheesshhhh im so slow today!!!!
Can someone please explain?????

thanks for visiting pretty....I am obliged.

Timetraveller,
The underlying message in this story is....durgey hails from a rural part of Nepal....blends in the metropolitan life...becomes so suave and sophisticated that he hesitates to make friends ( or more than friends) with countryside people.
