Dear Mr. Mukherjee,
I have just finished your short narrative of Ku Jhik Jhik. You have taken me back to my childhood. Although I did not get chance to travel on all of those railways in India--- But the thrill, sense of adventure, wonders of eagerly anticipated change of sceneries all came back.
Thank you would be too little but thank you anyway.
I have read all your other articles too and always enjoyed your writing, but this one just reached the secret corner. Please keep on writing.
