Please keep dignity

Please keep dignity

I have a message to the future commentators and the authors. I am saddened to see the stooping levels of insinuation thrown in a forum which is supposed to discuss LITERATURE . Please comment with dignity. I deeply share the anguish caused to the author of this work. I am aware that an author, like a mother is equally fond of all her children. A mature commentator points out where exactly the child�s performance fell below expectations, without personal remarks and keeping aside his personal equation with the author. I am also confident that this author has an inherent strength and will power to get back with stories like �Padikal kayarunna penkutti� that will continue to enrich our literature. By that single stroke she has already sounded an alarm bell before the Malayali society which is fast sinking into anarchy with commoditization of woman, consumerism and criminalization. Please don�t kill the messenger.

By publishing in a web magazine, an author is exposing himself/herself to instant response from the readers who have varied tastes and level of appreciation. Please gather the mental strength to receive brickbats and bouquets.
