Dear Deepak.I still remember you talking about this story about 3decades ago.So finally I am seeing that your book is finally being published.Always knew your talent in writing,and I am sure after reading your extract that this book will see its way into the classrooms,as well as many more books to come.Reading your extract I thought of Conslaves,for no definitive reason,but those wonderful as well as trying days in Chandigarh where you had some wonderful friends who I was fortunate to meet.Congratulations once again and may we see many more from you.
Regards Ronnie

Lovely tribute from Kabirpaul. I second his sentiments on "your talent in writing" and that it will find its way into the classrooms. I add my congratulations as well.

Very dear my friend. I am typing one fingered but I will return to type my answers when I have my keyboard again. Be assured. I am so delighted and appreciate the questions.

@ Ronnie (Kabirpaul) - I read your feedback report with rapt attention and was so thrilled that the Ronnie we knew when we in College, always filled with such great empathy for us very young boys, who took all of us to our very first Steak in the best restraunt in the town, who spoilt us all unconditionally by taking us for billiards in the saloon, who lent his motor cycle to us when ever he was on tour .. and so may other things which were actually like a fantasy to us all, has written such a moving and fascinating and motivating feedback to those questions, And being at present the Director of Admissions of such a large university, Ronnie, makes your feedback one of the biggest honours I have ever received. Thaank you Ronnie - you were always the best in your amazing understanding of the human psyche specially the psyche of the younger generation,
@ Karol - You add the icing to the cake that Ronnie has given me to celebrate and because you are one of the really great thinkers of this super group I stepped into by accident, I send you all my love and a big bow for being so good to me, though the questions I had framed were more of a Behavioural Science awareness survey. Thank you Karol.
@ Rose - I wish I were there to be with you and hold your brushes while you paint those extraordinary masterpieces of yours - you are probably the most talented artistic persons amongst all my friends - and they are all extraordinary - so that means something! Thank you for being so wonderful and taking the time and enduring the pain just for me, by writing this message - it means so much to me and to everyone who will read this. Thanks you Rose!

I did leave my comments on the preview page, but don't see them here. Are they lost?

Honor Bright said...

I am home now. I brought my lovely grandson with me, so it will be an interesting summer.
You yourself are a wonderful artist, when you decide the brushes call, so what a nice compliment.
Now that I am home (we are taking off in a few minutes) I'll settle back and reread what I have been
given and answer those questions, which are very thought provoking. Blows a kiss.

After reading varshanagpal's comment, I'll paste my comments here too, so they do not disappear. :P

@ Rose - Save your comments on a page on your computer, Dear Rose. When you post the feedback, they send me the comments as a report, and then I copy and paste them on blog - you can read every one's comments there - see the other post on my blog and there are really nice thoughtful comments!

We have a busy day ahead of us, but I am looking forward to it. :)
