Hate Mail... But Sub-standard...
I've got my first hate mail. Sadly, it's sub-stantdard. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm repeating the headline. That's how it feels when your story's first para dumbly copies the headline.
Anyhow, this is it (the HM):
Yes, the conceit is unmistakable. And the writing is nothing to write home about. Some points are well enunciated others are open debate. The blogger would do well if he infused his writing witha bit of wit and a sense of humour than sermonise and berate like a school prinicipal.
I will ignore the unargued criticism. Check out its clichés though:
is unmistakable
nothing to write home about
well enunciated
open to debate
would do well
infused his writing
sense of humour (why not plain "humour"? just asking!)
than sermonise and berate
I'm curious. The hater uses the pronoun "he" for me, presuming I'm a man. Why?

Good question, Valmiki!... You must be a 'he', man! Wasn't Valmiki so? If you are not, how dare a woman criticise us the (super)men of Indian journalism?? Does she know better than us the men who've run the show all these years??
- Shows the inherent bias in our journalist minds...
hmmmmm he/she he/she he/she hmmmm
Maharishi Valmiki equates constructive criticism as hatemail. Further, he tries to pitch his professional eloquence against the spontaneous recation of a casual reader. This reader is happy not to be from the fraternity of such illustrious men and women among whom is born this 'ghar kaa bhedi' going by the name of Maharishi Valmiki. He would do well to call himself Vibhishan,the creation of that sage whose name he has adopted.If what was written by anonymous amounts to hatemail then the 'letters to the editor' space in all publications would be called hatemails to the editor. They are not. Which goes to prove my contention.That this journalistic jehadi is on a mission without a cause and his seminal clog in the head is finding extended space in this blog.
We have all heard of verbal diorrhea, this guy is having night-falls at his own eloquence. And perhaps in his waking hours!
My suggestion:
1. Get yourself a job
2. Be the change that you want!
3. Get a life..
Hows this for hatemail!
