Like you said, he is definitely one for the masses. But i think, from a reader's perspective, an author would be considered worthwhile only if he does something outside masala/entertainment by and large. Those things that contribute to the page turning aspects of his books are available on the silver screen. Why a book then? Write a script for a movie!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203782450706671108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173246092473374970.post-36610279183834396122011-03-16T20:57:37.401+05:302011-03-16T20:57:37.401+05:30There are a few facts that are true and perfectly ...There are a few facts that are true and perfectly acceptable in the write up, but a few other parts that looks, totally fueled by your dislike/hate for him. <br />"yours is not a style at all." - very true. he has no style. his books are just extended blogs.<br />"Your writing about call centers, and other places that are just not worth more than a rotten cauliflower" - Its a bit harsh, to call 'call center' a place not worth. Its as good or bad as any other situation in a any other book. <br />"is definitely not serving any good to mankind" - I don't think everyone writes with that as a purpose. A few write with entertainment as the main purpose. And I dont think he claims his books 'art'. I am not a fan of his, but I definitely enjoyed reading his books. They were good as masala-entertaining-escapist-page turners, and I guess that he knows that, pretty well.roguegenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839057869001534987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173246092473374970.post-89973440546914692862011-03-16T08:30:17.502+05:302011-03-16T08:30:17.502+05:30@Madhu: Yea, I write for an online news/views port...@Madhu: Yea, I write for an online news/views portal called 'The Viewspaper'.
