I just want to thank everyone for their appreciative comments. I`m glad you all enjoyed it.

Re: Umair
Welcome back, hope it was a good break.

Re: Shahbano
Thank you. As always the soul of courtesy. I am currently working on something our mutual friend calls a ``conspiracy spoof`` in her inimitable way. Its very different tho, and going slowly because the christmas break is over and I`m back at work busily watching Asia fly out the window.

Tahnoon.

All praise to the mind that deconvolved the mind of Kehkashan. I wonder if it is possible to examine the minds of her ``custodians`` for 72 hours, and the ones before and after?

Tahnoon thanks for a beautiful and a poignant piece. It is not an easy topic to write on, but you have managed to peek inside the fortified mind of Kehkashan. I have read this twice already, and intend to be back for more :)

Brilliant work Tahnoon. The personality conflicts that Keki suffers is brilliantly done. A thoroughly absorbing read. She is truly free isn`t she. Madness offers sweet solace and complete freedom.

Tahnoon, I THINK I`ve got this mind-twister of a spider puzzle that you weaved :)-

IF:

K(K)nowledge= P(P)ower =Keki = Qasim = Asma

T(T)ime = M(M)oney = Shanna = Ali = Eman

W(W)ork = Keki`s Castle = Nasem = Nasheen

THEN:

P = W/T

and

K = W/M

Solving this equation for M, we get:

M = W/K

Thus, M approaches infinity as K approaches zero, regardless of the work done.

CONCLUSION: The less one knows, the more one makes ... finally, proof of what we all suspected!
