I felt I was right there in Don Shultz`s class, trying to figure out if he was one of my most inspiring professors or just a crazy, self-centered man set loose on the McGill student-body. Thank you for sharing this class-room with me...

harimau,
I told you before... I am not going to respond to your lies and petty insults...
However I am sure Aisha`s SJSU is much better than Gymno`s El Camino County College...

Mohammed;
This was a first class piece of writing, an engaging character study, humourous and perceptive. I look forward to reading more of your work on Chowk!

What you have written may aslo be considered travel writing. Thanks for a fantastic read! I have read the travel writings of Somerset...
and I also saw some of that Somerset style in your ability of conveying a wonderful sense of time and place...
Do you read Somerset?

A refreashing change on Chowk. Don Shultz! What can I say?
All the pith is in the ending... Indonesian women trying to marry Shultz, and chicken is the bait...
Ha, ha, ha...
But the way you protray it... Interesting! In fact , I really like your bow-wow way of taking some converstaion, and bloating it... I say that in all admiration... because laughter aisde, the story is written with ideas and guts -- a strong combination.

M.A. Shaikh, thank you for Don Shultz. it seems hat your life has been in poems... Lovely, enchanting language!
Fantastic... I like the binary switch betwenn the student and the professor throughout the essay.
Some liners get me ticklish:
``He laughed feverishly. His lips were non-existent, the little teeth he had were stained with coffee.``
Or
``A minute he would be muttering, “Without holding volume constant, a manager is comparing apples to oranges rather than apples to apples,” the other he would start describing his bygone love affair with a buxom girl called Tamara.``
I am glad to see that ``Don Shultz`` is told in its raw emotional form (for all its brilliance, gltter, irony and wit)... To quote Voltaire: ``All styles are good except the tiresome kind!``

Very nice.....
How was life as a music student in Tashkent? Also a few stories on St. Catherine`s Street and Old Montreal would be nice. McGill, in the summer, is a beautiful campus.....

Amusing. I was visiting McGill some years ago. Loved the place. It probably would be horrid during winters but the place itself in the background of a Canadian bright yellow fall was beautiful.
Loved the poem.

Very funny....some great lines; ``a thud of a nose``, ``A1 Hamilton product`` etc....writer, you have been reading your not-too-kindsley Kingsley Amis; this is a nice working of a North American `Lucky Jim`.
Schultz is a Germanic name.
Hope to read more on Chowk!

Is Don Shultz really a parady? Is it? You kow what Lord Byron said:
`Tis strange - but true;
for truth is always strange;
Stranger than fiction
Furthermore, superb finale: it left me rolling around the carpet, giggling and laughing in fits. You have the touch of Kingsely Amis and more!
Bravo, my friend!

I find ``Don Shultz`` most unusual and extremely interesting. It has a light quality to it that keeps it afloat.
Thank you M. A. Shaikh, and welcme to Chowk!

Great article, fun read, thanks. However, I`ve been to Hong Kong and I can assure you that even if you were starving to death, th local women there would not feed you chicken. Walk past, ignore you, try to sell it to you, yes. But free, nada. Nothing in HK is free.
Great article, though, and thanks.

Fun read!
``He was downright rude and mean to his students. ¡§Your opportunities to distinguish yourself are being provided in examinations consistent with other students and not at your inclination. You know my syllabus, so follow it``
Sometimes good teachers, also help us grow up.
Don`t you love instructors who are really enjoy, are masters of the material they teach? How lovely it would be to be in school with such masters.

Mohammad:
Warm welcome! You will be a nice addition here…almost transported me to your class…wonderful lines and characterisation…please keep writing…
regards,
temporal
PS: class assignment:
Fix the faux pas here:
[…and his balding head shone in Beryl Cream..]
[... Very soon a women came up and offered me chicken..]
[…Rather they are important because planners believe that that if the organization achieves in meeting these secondary objectives, it will succeed in meeting its primary objectives.”..]

Excellent character portrait. I really enjoyed reading it. I would have thought Shultz, however, was a Jewish name.
It left something a little unfinished at the end though? and I don`t think you should have included the blurb about it being a parody at the end. Sort of breaks the mood when you`ve finished it.
Otherwise well written and amusing. Thanks.
