subroto:

:)

...keep it simple and get rid of the inverted commas...see the pain you run into when you start peeing words instead of throwing them up (and out without abandon)?

Medicine for writer`s block - take a long walk.

What the??
I thought this submission had been lost in the cyberspace last year. Well in my defence - this was written late at night in reaction to some of the poetry being published on Chowk at that time.

T sahib maybe I should write a novel under the pseudonym of Robbin Cook and call it Comma?

I shall now quitely crawl away, safe in the anonomity of my cubicle - go ahead tear it to shreds, while I search for my diuretics.

Take some responsibility for the shit that you spew out. We weren`t diving for pearls when we clicked but do you really think you can do a lot better than this now that you`re apologising?

A chowkie whose writing I admire said it made him smile, well if I could make even one person happy I am satisfied. For those whose blood pressure went up considerably - next time I`ll put in a disclaimer - ``Yahan pearls kay liye diving mana hai``, ``Danger! The following submission could raise your blood pressure`` etc.
