STRAIGHT FORWARD

I like to read Tagore. As he said in one story, one should be intoxicated in life with something. It is true, reading him is a pleasure, he got this preferential class. People of India should read him more and more to understand the depth of his writings.

It should be mentioned here that I sympathise media who projects and gives publicity to bad and ugly writers like sixty and above classless writers who write  substandard columns for their survival. One Editor with pride in his voice announced through his editorial that he got a weakness for bad news and it is understandable that he gives special columns to this particular porn writer who writes about people of her level- Rakhi Sawant, ND Tiwari and other such silly human beings. This woman can write only about them and this editor got a weakness for her oh no! for her bad and ugly writings.

Media should come forward to enlighten readers and they should do justice to their readers. When you publish silly, frivolous ugly and biased columns there always you receive ugly remarks back straight on your face. What you give, you get it back. Accept it with grace. That is greatness.

What if Arundathi Roy has written one book? She could reach to the top of the World with one book  and that is million times better than writing life long substandard columns and substandard books.
