Hello Mr. Madani,
Are you the editor around here?
Then, pray tell me how to get oneself published here?
This is Tariq Siddiqi, aka inpursuit

Dear Mr Ahmedmadani

Thank you for your appreciation.

I detest the fights that go on in Chowk between India and Pakistan. I feel that our nations can get together, or if not, our ``fights`` should be between Sachin and Shoaib, with bat and ball, not guns !

My purpose of writing on Chowk is to introduce an element of humanity - sharing emotions, memories, tribulations.

This particular story is one I read long ago, as a teenager, so long ago that I couldn`t even remember the title of the story. However, since I remember the story after decades I thought Chowk readers may like it too.

Thank you for your permission to ``write`` on Chwok, even though this piece was a mere loose translation, not an original work.
