It is a rare person that can make one smile in the middle of a maddening day. Thank you for a refreshing article. Refreshing in its sarcasm and refreshing in its humor.
You also "present mystifyingly pedestrian examples in obscure language -- all to say something that the corner paanwalla will tell you without any fuss".
Only, the panwalla often does a better job.
Why do rediff editors pay these columnists to write such silly articles ?
Dilip, (and editors) : Kha lo paan Banaras wala Khul jaye band akal ka tala
dilip,your article reminds of a poem by emily dickinson...
much madness is divinest sense to a discerning eye much sense,the starkest madness 'tis the majority, in this ,as all prevails assent,and you are sane demur,you're straightaway dangerous and handled with a chain.
Down with it! Another stinking anti-Hindu article from the stable of Dilip D'Souza. Try writing this in an Islamic country and see what happens to you. Have you ever questioned what shoes they buy (or don't buy) in Mecca, what scholarships they give in madrasas, and research they do in ISI? You pseudo-secularists can only question what happens in Hindu institutions, and markets. Hindus are being killed worldwide by Islamic terrorists and not a single mention of it anywhere....39 in city X, 45 in city Y, 23 in Z...
Who has time for such inanities when the world needs to be purged of the threat of Islamic expansionism through terrorism?
Please researve a copy of your future paper for me. Also launch a free (sample/promotion) scheme for it that I can avail since I have no money to spend on the sequel of this article.
It seems the author had some grudge with Reebok (for not being able to book his pair) or NIIT (for not being able to get thru the schol. scheme criteria) .
Or simply he is retaliating for his long ordeal - reading that 30page paper.
