MORE ON THE HATE MAIL...

I am sorry but I can't help rewrite my hater’s mail. This is what he (she?) wrote –

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.

This is what he (she?) shoulda written –

The blogger is conceited and writes poorly. Only a few of his points – presuming he is a man – are well argued. He should write with greater wit and humor. He shouldn’t sermonize like a school principal.


Hater's word count: 51
My word count: 36

One would think that Maharshi Valmiki was a male!

Unless he was a metrosexual, whose emphatic woman side has been found out by his namesake.. And in the same vein may I add that word count is hardly ever the measure of good writing. Most of Agatha Christie's mysteries would be over if she reported straight in the first page. And PG Wodehouse should have shut up half way into the first para.Maharshi Valmiki, poor soul, should never have written an epic and waited for the blogger with his pseudonym to do it in a para and a half only a few millenia later. The present perfect Maharishi would have scooped it!
