Well...As you can see from the picture above, i'm quite interested in cowboys and the so-called wild wild west. Mizo cowboy cyclostyled books contributing an important part. No doubt.
If we are to imagine ourselves in various walks of life. I think, for myself, cowboys played an important role. Browsing thru' Louis L'Amour, Oliver Strange, Frederick H. Christian, Luke Short, Max Brand and so on, the life of the cowwboy is the loner's life. hardly anyone to look up to, except punching mates and fellow grub line riders. This, i think have some analogy with the present world. The world has increasingly become an individualistic worlds with everyman for himself. So, the cowboy with his horse and gun is for himself. What about us..with our pens (for some computers) are we everyman for himself? Riders of the wild wide world...

Cowboys..i like to watch and read their stories too. They have a world of their own, rich & large, a tradition of sort, but then its a totally men's world.

You can say that. The ultimate macho man, capable of doing everything. Rough, rugged and capable of handling their hardware and women. But then, its interesting even thought most of what we read are just fiction.
