Agreed Sir!

And the song that came first to my mind as soon as I read your explanations was``And the leaves that are green, turn to brown ... and they wither with the wind, and they crumple in your hand ... etc.`` (Simon & Garfunkel).

Haven`t figured out your hint though re the folk song ...

Absent in the Spring Dear BJ,

As long as you admit: ``The influence of the writer whose name you bring up is EVERYWHERE in my writings – I suspect that influence will be there forever – for life!``

I hereby declare:

Do you retract that charge here and now? Or not?

Yesssss .... :~)

do you agree with this guy “HP” and his current Sancho-Panza “yellowbelly”?Or not?!

Noooooooo :~)

That`s all I had ever wanted you to admit!!!

P.S. I haven`t read the balance posts yet and I may withdraw the above if I find any aggression by you towards me!

:~)

Quote:The interactor in #19 ... I don’t know the detail of that and don’t know how .. but do know that he was. ... The poster in #19 .. the poster did write this: “unless he can find an article like you did, he does not have the right to make these accusations.” That post was addressed to post #17, the writer of which must have found the original article plagiarized ... I do not have the detail of that thread ...Unquote.

Since I was the poster of #17, It is my duty to attempt to clear this confusion. In this context, I reproduce below the post # 125 verbatim on ``Do Pakistanis deserve a democratic system?`` dated January 14 2007 below:

I don`t think plagiarisers like BJ Kumar have any right to discuss important issues like the partition of the sub-continent ... here`s the proof I posted on UP:

BJ,

You shouldn`t have challenged me on this .. :

Here ...

Endless Knight
Beej K. Singh

...even though everyone knows the ultimate futility of dusk overcoming all – and spring smiles giving way to autumn leaves only destined to mingle with the dirt in the road – yet they wait.

Half a Night
Farzana Versey

It takes a lifetime
to realise
obsessions are not certainties.
It’s requiem for spring smiles
as she gathers autumn leaves
in the dirt roads

I must clarify that all I had intended by above was to get BJ to acknowledge credit due to FV for those lines, and not to put him down. BJ is a pal.

Now, after a long discussion with BJ about this on UP and with other interactors including nb of post # 19 who were all genuinely shocked and taken aback, BJ first kept denying in a defensive manner and then aggressively attacking me with vile abuse and accusations of jealousy, just as he is doing now, but then finally admitted that he had indeed read Farzana Versey`s above poem but insisted that the same words in the same sentence and meaning the same thing as well as the entire train of thought merely `came to him`.

As far as I am concerned, I have whole heartedly accepted BJ`s explanation as above in good faith. Perhaps it was sub-conscious influence and FV`s words stuck in his mind without realizing it.

Rest is up to the Chowk Jury!

:~)

nb, HP just wants to wrestle BJ like Mr. Quin of #18. BJ should offer out some placating gifts because HP is a hell of a wrestler!.. :)

....learn from Jasbir...

Or alternately from Joginder of #18 .....

Absent in the Spring #15/16

Both spellings are correct. Dirth (meaning a famine) is archaic while dearth is more commonly used.

But BJ ... come to think of it .. I may be wrong but ``.... of humiliation there was no shortage`` smells awfully like having been directly translated from `` beyizzati ki koi kamee na thi`` or something like that, i.e the turn of the phrase being ignored.

No offense BJ. No provocation intended and no knee jerk retaliations :) I really like this article. But I think perhaps a strong rejoinder is called for to answer the serious accusation contained in #13.

:~)

Absent in the Spring #10

In just three days, over 4,000 Sikhs were killed.

... that`s a very large number. Didn`t know it was that many ...

Absent in the Spring Yaar BJ,

I object to the diction used in the runner here ...

....but of humiliation there was no shortage.

`Humiliation` is no atta/daal of which there would be `shortage`. It should have been:

....but of humiliation there was no dirth.

How does it read now?

:~)

Absent in the Spring Nice!

No doubt this one certainly `came` to you ...!

What Ails the BPO Industry in Pakistan? #159 by bongdongs

So they like to shi!t on the streets and on railway tracks?

What Ails the BPO Industry in Pakistan? #161

Ok so it was a waste of time. Now fcuk off.

What Ails the BPO Industry in Pakistan? #150 by concerned1

Fcuk off ... I had said `populations`. Not heroin junkies sleeping on the streets.

The majority of Calcutta`s population sleeps on the street, washes its clothes in the sewer, and bathes in it as well, pisses on the street with traffic, and scavenges in garbage heaps. And these are not junkies. This is population.

I`ve also been to Bombay where 60% of `population` lives in slums with no toilets and defecates either by the roadside or along the railway tracks.

Why Assam to be Asom? I think Ass-am would be more descriptive. Amazing how much difference just a small hyphen can make.
