Living worlds apart, as we do, it is always a surprise to see where creative energy is coming from, who is doing what, and such. The simple answer, of course, is that everyone is creating something. Yet, the undeniable truth is that there is an amazing amount of pent up creativity bursting forth in India lately. One of the pleasures of roaming the Internet is the likelihood of stumbling upon a site such as yours. Hope you stay with your art, develop your story, and publish lots more comics. Good Luck!

Thanks for the tip about what is locally known as “kalivi kodi” and the legend of Aithanna. It appears that there is a lot more to Bharat Bhushan than razor wit. A renaissance man, no less. There seems to be an entire post, in there … in good time. Thanks again, and please keep a sharp watch on the wild kingdom, on behalf of those who are far away.

Normally ‘thebutterflydiaries’ gets half a dozen views and progresses placidly. I was taken aback to suddenly find my daily readership in three figures. I know know whom to thank.

Thank you for reviewing my blog. I feel uncomfortable under the mantle you have placed over me. Blogging was fun for me – an opportunity to be creative, just that.

I had noted your appreciative comment on my blog and patted myself on the back – another satisfied customer. Suddenly I was overwhelmed by pingbacks. Getting to the root of the problem – I found to my horror that I had been reviewed. Egads! Critics!

Then I relaxed, it was just another blogger and he was very kind, far too kind! Its obvious you took much time and effort to read what I had written.

Its a funny feeling – being assayed; a lightly made statement gets highlighted, while some of one’s most ponderously prepared statements are ignored. I really dont know what clicks and your review has proved it. So I’ll just go on writing ’shtuff’ (as BB calls it) which I like.

BTW BB is no ordinary guy. At the risk of offending his modesty and saintly demeanour (under which he goes around these days), I hereby inform you that he rediscovered an extinct bird, Jerdon’s Courser. There – its done, now he can just feel offended at his friends who are so obviously and erroneously so proud of him.

Comment on Marxism-Islamofascism Nexus Against Hindu India by indiaonedge

indiaonedge — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:27:12 +0000

The Radical Hindu paranoia is difficult to explain. Are our Muslim brethren really reproducing at such prodigious rate to render the Hindus in minority? Besides that logistically improbable fallacy, the other peeve is the centuries of hard time that the Persian conquerors gave our Hindu ancestors. So give it back to their progeny (and maybe they will stop procreating in a hurry?). Why not get better at it, and less cowardly and declare war on Iran, Afghanistan and all those other places where these conquerors came from in the first place? That would be a much more accurate solution to our problem. If it really is the Hindu Golden Age, why not stop going after soft targets and really prove what were made of?
