Oops! The inevitable errors.
Well, writers are no gods, and
thus omissions and errors are bound to exist in any kind of fiction. Sometimes they
embarrass us as grammatical slip-ups, or the factual errors, and even typos.
Despite going through the book more than fifty times by myself, these errors
ingeniously succeeded to slip through my 'scanner'.

Remarks

Feodor/Fyodor
|
108
|
Factual
|
Well, he’s Fyodor
Dostoevsky, and not Feoder Dostoevsky.
|
Beatles DVDs/Beatles CDs
|
124
|
Factual
|
I don’t know if we
can actually get their DVDs now, but what I meant was CDs.
|
The Ulysses/Ulysses
|
134
|
Factual
|
James Joyce only wrote
Ulysses. Dunno who wrote The Ulysses.
|
BSc Vet Error
|
165
|
Factual
|
In the year 2009, IAAS,
Rampur never hosted any BSc Vet course. In fact, it was not hosted until the late 2011. Before
that, it was called BVSc and AH (Bachelors in Veterinary Science and Animal
Husbandry).

BSc Chemistry in TU
|
166
|
Factual
|
I’ve said that
Sophia studies BSc Chemistry in TU. Well, the actual Tribhuvan University,
Kirtipur doesn’t conduct any BSc Chemistry classes by itself. What I meant
was TC (Tri-Chadra Multiple Campus), which though is also a constituent campus
of TU.

Typo
|
It’s actually an embarrassing
typo. Gyan is staying awake in the prologue, and that’s when the “time-travel”
begins. In Two Point Something Years Later, I talk about the present again,
which should be a day after the date in the prologue, as it is past 12. Thus
what I meant was 2011.11.20 (after 2011.11.19 in the Prologue), and not 2011.11.22.
