Thank You so much!:-)<BR/><BR/>I liked Rabindranath Tagore's short stories like 'Postmaster' and all but I have not read any of Bankimchandra's or Saratchandra's works.<BR/><BR/>@Nanny<BR/>Rightly guessed...I have to read this one for school but some school books provide such a good read like 'Macbeth'.<BR/>Even if some books do grip people, they are not considered as being better than renowned author's books. That, sadly, is a world fashion.<BR/><BR/>@Woodsmoke<BR/>When I write my posts, i basically don't care about what everybody thinks. In other fields, that already has to be done. So, this is one area of my life where I do/write anything that I wish.:-)<BR/><BR/>Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Thank You for all that admiration. Frankly, I hadn't thought that this casually wriiten post would earn me this much appreciation.<BR/><BR/>@Titash<BR/>Yeah, hopefully!<BR/><BR/>@Soorma<BR/>Nishkriti is worse!I hate all the three bahus and their husbands, specially, and contrary to most people's expectations, Ramesh and Shailaja!<BR/><BR/>I have read Anne Frank's diary and have also written a post on it previously. You can read it. And, you're right. I loved the book!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you too!:-P<BR/><BR/>@Kanu<BR/>Well, what a successful post this has turned out to be!

Having said that, which was basically my way of reiterating that this is your space, and so always write what you feel you must. Like one of my teacher says, your best writing comes when you are angry, hurt, or bitterly frustrated. <BR/><BR/>Coming to the post itself, after all that gyan. :)<BR/>I loved reading this. It had a tone of irreverence (without being disrespectful) and the right dose of humor. It's always difficult to pull them off together. I think you did a great job. Additionally, I think posts like this should be read by anyone with any plans of becoming a serious writer. It shows you clearly where an iconic writer may succeed and where he may fail. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and hone that budding irreverence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870537073752828309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31162978.post-59516581479063906502008-09-22T17:45:00.000+05:302008-09-22T17:45:00.000+05:30Ugh, boring books!

One reason for existence for books is that they transfer knowledge, but the other is that they entertain people. When a book doesn't fit in both categories, why does it exist? Isn't a book more than a message? Isn't it the art of telling a story that also makes a book?<BR/>For me the books that grip people are the better ones. But somehow those books are not considered as such.<BR/>Greetings! nannynannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481615482702461764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31162978.post-50629284275819958352008-09-22T16:35:00.000+05:302008-09-22T16:35:00.000+05:30No you didn't hurt my sentiments.

I know most Bengalis would get defensive if you mention anything negative about Kabiguru, and I appreciate the courage that you show in overcoming that and writing this post. <BR/><BR/>As a kid, when I read the Bengali classics - Bankimchandra was my favorite, then Saratchandra and then Rabindranath. This, despite the fact that Bankimchandra's language was definitely the most complex of them. But I fell in love with his plots. <BR/><BR/>Having said all this, the genius of Rabindranath Thakur cannot be ignored. Explore more, I am sure you will like some of his work. <BR/><BR/>P.S: Just as I was reading this post, I remembered that you were reading Dr. Zhivago, and suddenly I remember the tune from the movie. You will remember that Rohit and I were trying in vain to remember the tune when we met.Subhadiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283468219928728416noreply@blogger.com
