Dear Editor, Thanks for forwarding the fourth Mirror Scan written by Mr Sasidharan P. As desired, I am happy to offer the following comments :-

� There are a large number of Keralites who do not have access to the periodicals being reviewed by the writer. So to them, the column is really a boon as it affords them to familiarize with what is latest in Malayalam literature.

� Mirror Scan is a literary gossip column. The style is not at all original and is a distant echo of the inimitable late Professor M Krishnan Nair.

� Number of puzha site visitors will definitely increase because of the readability of the article and the sensation it creates.

� His focus is on established literary personalities. Thus the psychology is very clear : A kuzhiyana dreams to become a big elephant.

� India is a free country and anybody can air views or analysis. One has to respect the freedom of the writer even though once or twice he crosses the limit of freedom.

� Sometimes it seems that the writer forgets about scanning and embarks upon an unwanted operation even without giving any anesthesia to the patient.

� Lastly, a word of consolation to Mr Sasidharan P: If you go on faking it, you are definitely going to make it.
