Ajay, thanks for the kind comments about "Easy Rider." A career? Please, the Lazy Writer doesn't want to even think about things like careers. All he wants to do is fool around.
Hi Ajay, I am impressed at all the work you have generated in such a relatively short time on Fictionaut. Congratulations. Are you still in Mumbai? I traveled twice to India, in 2006 and 2008. What a great country, and that is putting it mildly.
Ajay, Thank you for your lovely comment on "Samurai Kitteh". So looking forward to reading your contributions, and your take on the beginning of poetry series I posted today. ~ J
Ajay, thank you so much for your comment on Hummingbird - much appreciated. I just read and enjoyed your amazing piece 'Knowing' and will read more very soon. M
re Purple Patch. Thanks, Ajay, yes, as you know in fiction the premise has to be signalled, if it is not to be the frowned upon, rabbit out of the box ending. Pleased you liked it!
Ajay! Thanks for commenting on Love, Story. Glad that Adams reference got you -- we have some things in common, I see (though I just don't get cricket, not yet). Looking forward to read your stories when I have a good chunk of time. SOON!
Thanks very much for your kind words on "Satellite Dish" -- I appreciate it.
As an aside, here's a story from India in a journal I publish.

Ajay, I hope you're getting work as an editor. Your comments on "Snowed In" were right on the money, in my view. 'course I always think compliments are right on!
Thanks a lot for commenting on 'In a Bar'. It is my first 'flashy thing' and I wrote and posted it late at night so I wasn't entirely sure it was any good. So thanks again.
Ajay, I always love to see your name on a message. Your stories are great, and even you messages are little works of art! Thanks for this little "poem." I will cherish it.
Ajay, my friend, I really appreciate your comments on Moving On. I took off a year from practicing law to write this story. Okay, that is a slight exaggeration...but I was practicing law at a huge firm and working 80 hours and every second I wasn't working I was feeling guilty about not working or feeling guilty about not writing a satisfying story about Milgram. Good times. I was happy to figure out that I needed to write a story about not being able to write a story. Thanks again, man, D
Thanks for the Robert B Parker word A.J. take a look at one of Parker's Spenser novels; he was lot better at smooth threatening than my little imitation here.

thanks, Ajay, for commenting on my Ms. Adams piece. so glad you liked it. it's actually part of a novel and related to my "What I'd Say" piece that I posted last week.
