Congratulations for the nomination! We are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the prize. We wish (and pray, too) that you win it. It is a great observation that you feel empty when you are not writing. Creativity feels your life. However, I differ on your views on religion and secularism. We were told at school that secularism is to respect other's religion. And religion is to be good and to do good to others. Your interviewer and for that matter most of the people are confused with rituals and religion. That is a pity. Once again, we wish you best of luck. Dr. K. Mallick, Houston
