Some news from Rochester
Hey everyone,I won the second prize in a local writing contest here in Rochester. The picture above is from the award ceremony and shows me posing with other winners; clearly, the first prize didn't go to the tallest person :) I've posted the details of the contest and my submission on my blog here. I thought I'd share this with all of you; needless to say, there's no pressure on anyone to read this :) But do scroll down the post, you'll see that our very own Yang Kuei Lin has left a comment :)

Hi Hari,
Congrats on the award. I read it immediately and I thought it was a very touchy story. It also took me back to my childhood years and reminded of the difficult times when my parents were tennants while they were also making monthly payments on a house that they owned afterwards. I had a similar story from those days. Anyway, did your dad read this story? I wonder his feelings, reading it.

Thanks Baris. Your queston is a very good one. Actually my dad has read the story; I sent it to him last week. I was a little worried about what he might feel, but he seemed fine with it. He said he liked it very much. I was relieved! It's a tricky thing, this question of whether such experiences, which are really private matters, should be written about.
