The way the mummies are being resurrected right in the glaring gaze of the Giza Sphinx is truly remarkable.

After all, the Dalmatians, from the Colonized & cantomentized minds, might not have earned the stripes yet, but can they be trusted not to lose their spots?

P.S: Explanation:just see how many dead interactors have been brought back to life to give credence to tis sura#2 descended`` on Rafi-Aamer from the the resident Shrink who has now shrunk & shriveled into ignominy of being Dr.Ooon Pooon.

Unflinching IDOLISM..indeed!

Rafi,

I would have commented on this in my earlier post, if time had permitted to read the entire story, but this is a rather good piece of work. I was dreading something much worse had happened to Shazi, but even if some readers think this might be cliched, and even if this does remind me of an hour long PTV drama, or what I have read of Raja Gidh, I know this happens in families, in our communities. And so it is not surprising that some of us can relate to various aspects of this.

Thank you for replying so graciously to my post, especially since I wasn`t certain of my own graciousness when I asked. :)

Arre, in using ``real`` writer, you`ve opened up quite the box there. Who is a ``real`` writer? Is it only one who writes according to certain peoples` standards, and gets published? Someone only an ``elite`` group of people decides on? I don`t know, I think Rafi is already a real writer, or well on his way to becoming one, and all writers, real, virtual, or imaginary hopefully do have other avenues open to them, including this one!

Agli vari tikker! :)

wow!! I loved it. Very nicely told without the fancy analysis and descriptions. The character of Shazi is fascinating. And the story teller's voice is rationale but there are hints of hurt and emotional involvement which made the story mysterious and meaningful.

Minhaj, ana, thearsalanarshad, TahirQazi, Kulharee

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

Kulharee,

That's a perfect alternative ending :) One that hardly requires any change in the rest of the story.

echoboom,

Your explanation in your identical posts #49, #51 and #52 needs an explanation. Sura #2 descended on me from, presumably, Dr. Sohail?

Well the inordinate resurrection of the mummies certainly would let one to wonder about that.

Hope you don't feel hurt by the innocent aspersion.

P.S: and I am glad you kept the community-standards in mind..and mad charas a means to mutual understanding.

P.S.S: The test of a good story is in its delivery & its acceptance. You have done well. If I had said this earlier, I would have closed all doors. thanks for being a good sport.
