Alexis: Thanks! Yep - we are neighbours. Thrikkakkara is so near to my place. I want to meet you some day.
Stephen king is usually the fantasy man - but he made one realistic story and that one was too good - It was made as the movie 'Shawshank Redemption' later, from the book 'Rita Hayworth & Shawshank Redemption'.

Silver:Yep - We are all a class apart. I was expecting that Mangatholi comment from some one - its good that the princess herself caught it. I heard pregnant ladies like Tender Mango with salt more. :))

Reshmi: Thanks!! There is a ship sailing!

Jithu: Wonderful observation. Although the name is Boyz, we have a female member in our gang - She is our class mate & wife of one of our gang members.
I tried to remove faces from the posts as much as possible, for identity preservation. I will change that snap, anyway :).
