OMG !! People do read books for its language as well as its content. Thanks to God Chentan finally told us that he does not care about language. He saved me a few bucks as I will never go to buy his books. I was almost being swayed into the hype he and his paid media created.
Long back i left reading , because i found the writers were showing off thier english that telling a story. No offense , 300 yrs of rule will have some impact. Then i tried your books and loved it. A novel is not abt hw good or bad someone english is..it is abt the story. it people want to leanr grammer ... ask them to go buy grammer books..haha... keep going CB...u rock

Hey dimwit, Who is taking about perfection ? Understand before you write. No wonder you read such authors's books

The definition of perfection itself is based on personal perceptions. Mediocrity may be his way, but his forte is story telling not thesaurus. You can be a worshipper of Shakespeare or Michael Angelo, but how many read them?
By the way, India is one rare country that does not even allow mediocres to survive professionally, only the top '5 percentile' are worshipped - to quote from his books. Dona Paula is either highly misinformed, or just plain evangelized by western preaching.

Nobody reads a literary work as a thersaurus. There are other options for that. There is a reason why even people like you recall shakespeare and MAngelo and their works are read regularly in schools and in literary circles. This guy is just a passing phase and will disappear in a few years. By the way, there are many indian authors better than this bollywood bass kisser and these days IIT doesn't mean squat.

Shakespeare died centuries back. On one hand we claim to have a problem with 'rotten' Indian / Hindu systems which need to be converted to Papal models; but on the other hand we get upset when someone converts the dictionary our way; going by sheer numbers who understand it better.
No one can have his own cake and eat it too. If they wish to take over India, they have to be prepared for an India taking over their language and cultures. :) fair eh?
