The Ring

For the record, I was a Taxi wallah in NYC for my first semester as a grad student at Columbia University. I have a lot of sympathy for my fellow brethren Riksha wallahs in Karachi.

Liked your character. I really thought he was real. The only point it began to sound unreal was when he found himself as an inmate next to a Harvard-inmate. The story then became cliquish, if you know what I mean. No offense. And while on the subject of rikshas, I rememebr reading once a children`s event sponsored by PACC or something in Pakistan, where kids were asked to draw their dream career. Girls drew nurses and teachers; when they were instructed to be free and draw what they really wanted to be, many girls drew rikshas!
