``````Chatter, chatter, chatter – that’s all they did. His wife, his mother, his sisters-in-law and these days even his daughter. It was something in their blood; their lying, manipulating female blood that called out for the destruction of an honest man and all his dreams and simple pleasures...........``````

Ref kaurasach #3

[I read this twice. Will someone please explain this story to me.

He butchered an animal while thinking about the nagging of his family members. And the Moral of the story is??????]

Oh, is THAT what it is?

I looked at the title and figured it might have something to do with the rupture of the hymen during a non-virtuous act.... you know, that would be something an Indian Libby transplanted to the US is likely to write about.

burpinder - i love that story. glad you liked this one.

kulsumbeig - thank you but you are much too kind. great for my ego though. :)

jang - you should! i think you`d like it. but iowa? i know its a great program and my friends who went there tell me they had a great time but... its still iowa!! but maybe you`re not such an urbanite?

cayenne - knock yourself out.

harimou - still firing blanks online as well as offline. tsk tsk, better luck next time.

subs - now thats a great topic for an article or a peice of memoir. ragging, i mean. werent you a boarding school kid? all the more grist for the mill methinks.

This is quite good, although overdramatized. But then a lot of fine literature is built upon overdramatization.

You write quickly and well. That is a great gift.
