Just how twisted are you to publish explicit details of your romp sessions on the net like this?? <BR/>The fact that someone can actually call you the voice of the new liberated Indian woman makes me cringe.<BR/>What exactly is your achievement? I do hope you realize Indian women are capable of a lot more than the shit you can write. So you turn into some Cruella/Bambi thingy when you don't get sex??? LOL!<BR/>Woman - all I can say is that I pity you. You can conveniently ignore comments where there is no praise for you (you delete them, don't you?) but the fact is that anyone with a brain the size of a peanut will see through your sozzled endeavor. Please don't get me wrong. I am not 'jealous' of your so called fame and success. You see if I want to get the success you have, I wouldn't have to try hard at all! <BR/><BR/>Tch Tch. <BR/><BR/>Btw, I watched you on that Barkha Dutta's show where she rubbished you on National television and you look like you would've gladly killed yourself after that.

Be it books, arts, sports or parties, everything is word of mouth! You gotta be part of the inner circle to get anywhere in Chennai. Why else do you think outsiders are so frustrated about the city and complain about nothing happening here? :) Poor devils don't realise that snide remarks and condescending comments on 'South Indians' will not get anyone into the inner circle. <BR/>Keep the faith tho. Knowing that Chennai has a very high percentage of literary circle, it won't be long before you get invited. Watch out for Landmark, Odyssey and Crossword.<BR/>Keep writing!SVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618359030121033024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-12742491004399382232008-10-11T00:49:00.000+05:302008-10-11T00:49:00.000+05:30Hey EM, All these negative comments just prove tha...Hey EM, All these negative comments just prove that you and your blog are popular...Way to go...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-62228937918652590032008-10-09T15:59:00.000+05:302008-10-09T15:59:00.000+05:30Hey, I noticed that there are vitriolic comments i...Hey, I noticed that there are vitriolic comments in here. That's sad. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy your blog, though I discovered it recently. I read excerpts of your book at rediff. I got to your blog from there. I liked it so much that I bought your book. <BR/><BR/>About the book, I would be lying if I gush about it too much. But its ok, its not bad. Perhaps I expected more. I could email you in detail if you want. I certainly don't want to write in this space, some of the scathing comments anger me.<BR/><BR/>No matter what you write or blog about, no one has right to critique your way or outlook of life. Mad Momma is right they are little piggy-riders. :(<BR/><BR/>I hope you do nt let your spirit affect by them.

It is as simple as that!! I have every right to express myself just the way Meenakshi does and if she did not like it, she can delete it! <BR/><BR/>Guys/gals, Meenakshi is in public domain and she is bound to attract brickbats and bouquets for anything sh does! She wants it! BTW Meenakshi appears to be more matured than most of her wide eyed fans here as she has not opposed those that oppose her! So get a life you vermins! <BR/><BR/>The ridiculous comemnt by one "mad momma" really makes me puke! Why should I or anyone freeload on Meenakshi's "fame"? R u really outta ur mind "mad momma"?<BR/><BR/>Harshika - just STFU! Just as you can comment so freely on me, whom you haven't even met or seen, I have every right to comment on someone's public outpourings! What the fuck is your problem lady? <BR/><BR/>One final observation though - the enthralled fans of Meenakshi are living their miserable lives through her, vicariously! So when someone critisizes Meenakshi, so many of them are hurt! Ouch!!Rajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425048674432010421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-11633685880218965512008-10-07T20:12:00.000+05:302008-10-07T20:12:00.000+05:30@ Cookiedough: Thanks for correcting me!

How can anyone be so full of shit and that too when they dont even claim to know you persoanlly!! Trust me, it was such a challenge not to pray down curses upon these scumbags! For going out of their way and being absolutely evil! and again why are they even deigning to comment on somebody's blog whom they think is nothing but an ordinary whore!<BR/><BR/>Who are these people....why are they being allowed to live in civilized socities at all??

I am writing my last few chapters of my debut novel "Finally Father Died". I don't want any contemporary writing to influence me. Moreover, I've quit the party world. I will be there today to hear the authors speak. <BR/>One of my favourite writers is your father. I just enjoy his writing.Sabzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044049612562026160noreply@blogger.com
