Dear Fawad,

Nice work. You remind of Thackeray-probably it is the writing style. Keep up the good work.

I think all of us are basically salesmen. Infants and toddlers are are good at selling their beautiful smiles and little mischiefs to gain love from elders; and we as human beings do it till the end of our lives. I think it is ingrained in our genetic psyche. However, it really starts troubling us when we start doing it conciously. I wonder why?

Superb essay. I wish it had been copy edited, or proof-read, at the very least. A common problem with the pieces on the Chowk

A good effort apart from the NUMEROUS grammatical and spelling mistakes that plague the piece.

cheers.

An excellent article. However, the most enjoyable part was writer`s profile and the name of his institution-perhaps included purposefully.
