[Reader-list] Yeh dil maange more -- bad poetry/prose

[Menso Heus]

Dear pratap,

Your conclusions are quite fast. Today I have read
your poetry, some of it, problem being I was in the 
office at the time and didn't have time to write 
a reply yet.

I quite enjoyed some parts, some parts I didn't
quite follow because of the Indian words that 
you choose to use. I was particulary quite fond
of the "Gaet inside, Laet us to go foray ride."
part but am not sure how to interpret it.

Perhaps people didn't respond yet because they are 
still reading, perhaps they didn't get it because 
half of it was in a language they don't understand. 
Maybe it just didn't do anything for them.


Be patient pratap, 'if you build it they will come' :)
