Response to Poonam Jee's message

Subj: Response to Poonam Jee's message
1. Namaste Sir,
I respect your comments. The choice of the word s*** was deliberate, & not because I could not have used a better "more asthetic" word. But sometimes it helps in more ways than one to be realistic & depict the reality. The depiction of the disgusting reality of our lives, systems & society should be...must be done by us. That will be one way of not only us acknowledging & trying to correct our flaws & faults & clean it up, but will also make it less financially attractive for the s***ty foreigners to come & cash on it & misrepresent it to malign us.

2. My Take:
Namaste to you also, Poonam Jee.

COMMENT: Thanks.

4. Quote: The choice of the word s*** was deliberate, & not because I could not have used a better "more asthetic" word.

COMMENT: I know it was. No need to apologize. Language is only a means to communicate, not to rise socially in life.

5. Quote: But sometimes it helps in more ways than one to be realistic & depict the reality.

COMMENT: This barnyard term, does cut down lot of verbiage.

COMMENT: Covering of flaws does not work.
Foreigners uncover ours, and we un-sheath theirs.
We are always ready to take them on, and pick on their observations, which are inaccurate or mis-placed.
