Wonderful! And hey ... I've just been reading translations of Ghalib by Tony Barnstone & Bilal Shaw, and just now it strikes me how much your wit is Ghalib-like. Behind the humor, a bracing humanity. Or maybe it's just something I ate too late last night....
So good of you to compare my stuff to Ghalib's wit--now if I can just approach his massive output before signing off for good, I'll have something to chortle about in my twilight years! Take care, old friend--nice to know you're still keeping tabs on me.
