sorry yaar, about the piggy bank, i mean. ;)

this seemed to me to be the essence of your argument: ``it`s important to make a commitment to take the reader along with them on every twist and turn of the way``.

nope. no way. nada. didnt work, bina.

the freedom-of-speechers will tell you, as i will, that the writer is under no obligation to do anything -- even write well. s/he is free to write what, how much, why and when s/he wants. or to cheat you by not writing what you wanted them to, or killing off the hunk with the biceps, or leaving loose strings untied. whatever...you went from saying that not making it clear whether its fiction or journalism was unfair to the reader to some vague supposed commitment to take them along on a journey.

didnt convince me.

i`m mailing you my piggy bank, c/o chowk.

cheers :) :) :)

of course, the reader is free to like or not like with the writing for whatever reason. it cuts both ways.

Sad story. Maybe the title should have been POWER & IMPOTENCE. She ironically never had any power, and his impotence precluded him from exercising his masculine role fully, thus leading to his rage at her.

FEROZK (Peply #63) anyone who uses the term MENS REA (intent) is a LAWYER. I`ve never heard that term used outside the legal profession.
