How I contacted Shevlin

Dear Mr. /Mrs. /Ms. Shevlin Sebastian,
Your name is very familiar to me as a regular reader, an occasional letter to the editor writer and an irregular contributor to 'Time Out' to TNIE. However the unusual name leaves one guessing your gender. Just out of curiosity may I ask you are you a Mr. Mrs. or Ms?

Your's truly,

A curious cat!
Nebu George,

What a Let down
Dear Mr. Shevlin,

Don’t be offended by the subject line. Just joking ha...ha... Visited your blog, saw your photo. To tell you the truth Shevlin sounded like a female half my age!


Regards,

Nebu.

And the reply
Dear Nebu,

Sorry to disappoint you.

Shevlin

Shevlin happens to be the brother of my son's Principal (Which I found out only much later) We still haven't met each other.

That's funny! I would have thought Shevlin would be a female, too.

Kamini, When I talked with Shevlin over phone, he was telling me that guys think they are lucky to be seated next to a female seeing his name on the railway reservation chart but are disappointed to see him and sometimes say so after greeting each other during the journey.
