Miss Silwal’s miseries

She was supposed to attend a business conference at Hotel Indrawati, far from the neighbourhood.

If there were a rulebook for observing people’s behaviour atop the neighbourhood houses, Miss Silwal would undoubtedly be labelled ‘mannerless.’ Not that she cared about what people thought of her. But society and its people have always berated someone like Miss Silwal, who doesn’t always sail toward a forceful current. Not everyone can sink and swim against the tides. It requires a certain amount of confidence and a lot of guts. Miss Silwal was not ordinary—or at least she liked to think so. One might wonder why a married woman still wanted to be addressed as Miss Silwal. She always enjoyed answering this, laughing at people’s obsession with finding logic in everything.
