1. He should have clicked the title of the poem in question and continued with what he had to say in defense in a legal fashion. 2. A dog barks and the moon does tolerate it; unfortunately I am a man and not a moon yet. 3. Great or small, let the time decide it; humbly speaking I am a practicing poet. Neither professional nor amateur. I am very much confident of my potential. If you know me as a man, you will be more confident of that than me. 4. Dr G Narayanaswamy � he is a professional scientist with an excellent command over our vernacular and by now a puzha star. I read his perspectives on Ramasethu and literally wept over it. Critical appreciation of geniuses like him gives one a little support and strength on the one hand and much anxiety on the other because henceforth one has to take extra care in one�s literary efforts and see that geniuses like him are not disappointed. 5. Life is a play of Intelligence. Writing a poem and reading it � both are intelligent activities. No writer of this planet can satisfy everybody. If you say a poem is wonderful, you need not tell the reasons for it. But if you say a poem is shit, the poet will have every right to question you. Raising questions and shedding light on areas of darkness cannot be termed as INTOLERANCE. 6. Bowel control is more important than poetry reading. Malady can be eradicated by taking juice of a lemon with half a teaspoon tata salt added. If I soil my pants with bad bowel control, whatever I read will seem to be little bit shitty. 7. Last line of your response dated 21.9.07 is pure poetry.I read it 108 times and found out that there is a lurching poet behind every critic who is by nature a mystic. 8. My dear Pravasi, where is my 101 dinar? You miserably chose not to touch the IQ test question. This is quite uncivil and unpardonable. Remember this communication is not a personal one; many thousands of puzha readers are watching it! 9. Being a pravasi outside India, you have been given the benefit of the deadline extended upto 11 days from the time this appears in puzha. Hope you will have adequate time to take a helpline from either of the two political VIPs whose names you quoted in your first reaction. Best of luck!
