I am not a published eminent author,so I want to be humble about my writing and be appreciative of every one.
And anyway, everyone has a right to write as they like.
But I want to ask the readers, is content more important than style?
I don't like the TV news readers who speaks Hindi with a Bihari accent. It distracts me from what he is saying.
I am able to get the sense of the short news pieces, however they are delivered. They need to appreciate that Twitter is their medium.
An analytical piece delivered badly just goes over my head.
Also, I have a problem which is more about the principle.
I believe too that people must have equal opportunity, but the arrogance of someone who refuses to learn, because it takes too long is irritating- and reminds me of the offspring of eminent people.
I see little children who have taken music lessons for three months, thrice a week, performing on stage - ostensibly to encourage them to learn.
IT PISSES ME OFF!!
The stage performance is the carrot for perfecting the art. If your child is not keen to learn, why must I listen to him croak in the name of music?
Premature babies must be incubated.
Handicapped persons must have equal opportunity, but there has to be a proportionate responsibility too. Would it be okay to have a blind person take a walk in the traffic?
I think when it is someone you love,it is difficult to be reasonable about these decisions.
And when you love yourself so much, it is difficult to have any sense of what others feel.
At this point I feel overwhelming self pity. No one loves me. I don't think I love myself too much.
People can be honest with me, and they are. It's awful to be there.
But I get this sense that I must be considerate. Because?
Yes, so you scratch my back and I scratch yours- and let quality be damned.
Unconditional love!!
Here we come, to mutilate that wonderful phrase, use it abuse it.

Guess both the contents and style are important. Were it not so, one would be happy with news delevered in Bihari or any other style.
Principle are ok. Every one likes to have some. But they are of no value unless one walks by them straight and the narrow.
It is not easy.
Then only one may recommend them to others, which itself is no reason for any one to accept them. Gandhi was able to inspire a multitude in this regards but there were enough arguementative Indians to disagree with him.
Me, being no reformer, would not worry too much about it.
So long one stands by what one believes in, refraining meanwhile from saying something, doing another and intending yet another, and does what he wishes to without any harm to society, it is fair.
