[Guest guest]

Dear Sri.Rengarajan,

 

Since you a say you are going to be moving and may not have an e-mail

address for sometime I'm taking the liberty of putting this on the

"Bhakti-list". I hope you don't mind me doing so.

 

It was very good of you to call and explain yourself.

 

I can see that your intentions were entirely honourable and very far from

the way your post on "sujAtha-style" came across the medium or the way it

suggested itself to me on reading it.

>From my side too I think I could have definitely shown as much restraint as

I often have preached to others on the list. I have again been reminded that

in life only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches !! Well, you live and

learn everyday, don't you ?

 

I have been struggling to understand many, many things about our faith and

religion. It is in that spirit I have been participating in the "list" all

these months.

 

It therefore came to me as a bit of a nasty "put-down-er" to be compared

with so-called "stylish" writers who contribute to Tamil "pulp-magazines"

and worse, for the Tamil movie-industry which I personally consider the

curse and bane of all that is good in our culture and ethos today.

 

Even if my so-called "style" had been compared to a poor and unsuccessful

imitation of Sri.Mukkur Swami, I would have gladly accepted it as a great

compliment !!

 

I could not however relish being measured against some "kumudam" writer whom

I don't think much of anyway !

 

I hope you will find a way of really understanding all this.

 

I hope you can also find a way of accepting my apology just as easily and

whole-heartedly as it is for me to make it.

 

Thanks, too, to all the friends on the "list" for helping to clear the air

("phew!!").

 

(And all this, I think, is really one more for Mani's archives on "Famous

Scenes on the I-net" or "How to Master the Art of being Thoroughly

Misunderstood through E-mails" !!! Now that's a subject that would greatly

interest the real "SujAthA", wouldn't it !!)

 

adiyEn,
