My parents assumed, and rightly so, that I know all about the 'Birds and the Bees' and how to protect and all that thing....they never had a TALK with me.
But, I think that is also due to the fact that in India, teenage sex is a little less of a problem as compared to the west....

I do the exact same thing with my authors (and when I write)...Each chapter usually goes through two rounds of editing before both the author and I pronounce it ready...
Same here. A simple mention is more than enough for me. I take great pride when the author I work with is praised for his/her work 'cause I feel that they are praising me in the process as well. And seeing the same author's work evolve through their stories and helping to improve their style is reward enough when that hard-work is acknowledged by the readers...

I always make it a point to mention my team and thank them for their help at the beginning of each of my chapters. Being an editor and beta myself, I want to see my efforts recognised by my authors and I know it feels good when an author you work with does that. So, I always thank my team when I post a chapter, even if the readers read it or not. It's like Disclaimers, some read it...some don't.
But yes, I'd like to see your idea developed and see some more ideas thrown around.
And finally....Thanks to Talonrider, Bondwriter, Sharon, Rob, Colin and Julien for all the effort that they put in to make my works the best they can be...

Only in India...won't bother with the dates, though....
Starting with the earliest place I can remember, I have lived in --->
Pune (Maharashtra) - That's a beautiful town near Mumbai...
Kalingpong (Sikkim) - A scenic and small-ish town near Darjeeling.
Kolkata (West Bengal) - The third largest metropolis in India.
Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) - Need I say anything?
Pathankot (Punjab) - A nice town, almost a gateway to J&K.
Gaya (Bihar) - The historic town of Bodh Gaya, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.
New Delhi - The capital of the country
Chandigarh - A federally (centrally, here) governed territory and the capital of Punjab as well as Haryana. A beautiful city, and my birthplace...
Phew....

Thanks a ton, guys!! It really makes my day to see these wishes...
Graeme, I put a bet with myself that you'd be the one to start the thread for me.....Guess I won (or lost? Since the bet was with myself only... )

Growing up, my ambitions changed from time to time. Some day, I wanted to be an actor, others I wanted to be a doctor. I remember wanting to be an astronaut, an army officer, a porn star (yes, that is correct!), a politician, a civil servant, a journalist, a teacher...
Now, though, I want to become a diplomat....
Guess, life changes perspective a lot, doesn't it?
