Erica hey beejay

`heartbroken` would be an exaggeration... but thanks, you have given me some tangible stuff to work on..
only, i have absolutely no prejudice against the US as a nation.. and therefore it is surprising that you sense a prejudice..
but tell me, isnt any work of fiction or semi fiction an expression of the writer.. a character in a plot is the author`s view on how the situation pans out... and so there can be no benchmark... only an opinion on whether he has expressed himself well or not... and even that, is only an opinion, and hence extremely subjective just like the palate ...
also, does every story/plot have to make a point? isnt the point subjective too?? eg. a calvin makes a whole lot of points, an archie almost none, but they are both extremely popular...

Erica winterpk: thx, but truth be told, i am quite disappointed with chowk... so will restrict myself to my blog...:)

islamabadikurri: that was extremely nice of you... the spirit of criticism doesnt seem to be quite right, bordering on malicious... or maybe its chowk`s form of induction.. :), and i dont have the stomach for it ... but hey, please do visit my blog (manuscrypts.blogspot.com)
