We do keep our audience in mind while writing. But I also agree with TOI (there I go contradicting myself). Please do write what you feel like esp on arranged marriages. I, for one, am all ears for it. I would like to know a different perpective too.Jayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053043951887070129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-49700573161303758702007-11-28T19:35:00.000+05:302007-11-28T19:35:00.000+05:30i wish u wud write wht u feel without hving to wor...i wish u wud write wht u feel without hving to worry abt ur readers reactions..if u do, u will lose wht has attracted them to u in the first place..<BR/><BR/>just write and if u r judged for it, so be it... :)Tys on Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718530428063102986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-59988892604965949062007-11-28T18:26:00.000+05:302007-11-28T18:26:00.000+05:30lol grandma!i know there are a lot to write :)yes ...lol grandma!<BR/><BR/>i know there are a lot to write :)<BR/><BR/>yes there are things which pain<BR/>and there are things which make us burst a vein.<BR/>all efforts don't go in vain.<BR/>It will help ease the pain :)Visheshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452040774198026145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-73059843839457799212007-11-28T14:55:00.000+05:302007-11-28T14:55:00.000+05:30**life in a typical Tambram home some 40 years bac...**life in a typical Tambram home some 40 years back** please do write on it...<BR/><BR/>these days people have become immune to the atrocities going on around them...i dream of the day when i can walk about in India, the way i do here in singapore, free and without fear...<BR/><BR/>we need a wake-up cal!!!aMushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191649124291527517noreply@blogger.com
