Dear C da Mayur again with his rusted keyboard, trying to withstand the plethora of charges flying thick and fast from St Louis, USA. You are like hurricane Katrina to me threatening to obliterate my defences most of the time in a ruthless way. Luckily, it always proves to be an empty threat. But I look forward to it as it gives me ample opportunity to showcase the inadequacies and shortcomings that lie very prominently beneath your apparently aggressive and fanciful responses. However I must appreciate your consistent magnanimity for giving me these kind of golden chances perhaps unknowingly or unwillingly. I am however acknowledging it knowingly and willingly.
Let us take the example of your recent post in response to my mail. 1. My view that you have abundant time and your convoluted response to that goes a long way in emphatically underscoring my view. Thanks. 2. >Can't blame you for the tactic. It is the > easiest thing to do in > the world, even though not a very creative one. Nowhere did I try to foist creativity on my head in my earlier mail. Your reference towards that after I publicly acknowledged it shows that you have time and you productively utilise it by flogging dead horses. In the process, of course, you give some healthy intellectual entertainment. 3. Your melodramatic reply on other issues shows the weaknesses which have become inseparable companions to the entire edifice of your arguments. Your obsession with GoI policies and its unjust policies towards Assam can be compared only with an average teenager's obsession with Mills and Boons. It also reminds me of GoI's policy of attributing anything disturbing to ISI. Can I hope that at last you will not end up imitating your bete noire i.e. GoI ? Even if you imitate GoI, it will only exhibit the limitations of your thoughts which otherwise also, you keep on showing in a generous way. As heavy make up cannot always hide the advancing age of an actress, your aggression and sarcasm also fail to conceal the lacunae plaguing your views on most of the occasions. 4. No doubt you are very prolific in assamnet. But kindly take some time out to ask yourself whether you have been able to light a candle till now (at least after August 2005 when I joined this august forum) in stead of cursing the darkness all the time. Please give something straight, practical and implementable for a change. After all variety is the spice of life. 5. For your usual stuff peppered with sarcasm, aggression and razor sharp (but highly theoretical) analysis, I am always there to endorse it as intellectually amusing if not stimulating. All said and done, if you ask me what I am going to relish more in response to my mail ? A rebuttal or a usual reply beating around the bush? Certainly the former. Regards.
