note: Parpias were living in Hinkal and regular readers of SOM. Mrs. Parpia would call me and report about irregular delivery of paper. Once she called me and complained about the language and the theme of my column Abracadabra on moral grounds. Foolishly, I ventured to explain, but she was so furious, I was asked to stop supply of SOM forthwith. However, after four days she called to resume supply, advising me to be a good boy! — K. B.
