Comment on Waiting for Priya by dipankardasgupta

Thank you Panchali for your appreciation. Perhaps you have noted that, as with many of my other compositions, you are the solitary commentator!! I don’t even try to draw people’s attention to their existence. I know you are one person who will read seriously and that’s why I keep sending you the links.

Regarding Part 2 … I wish I knew how to go about it. Perhaps there can’t be a second part to stories such as this.

I feel satisfied that you have read this story, if for nothing else, at least for stylistic reasons. I do not want to keep myself confined to a straitjacket of humour alone. Life’s variety calls for endlessly many emotions. I keep trying to capture them. That’s about all there is to it. I am sure this does not lend any uniqueness to my efforts. There are others as well who walk the same path.

Thanks again.

Dipankar,
The greatest secrets are the ones we hide from ourselves….a heart breaking piece! Some souvenirs which many introverts must have collected from college lands…
Your intricate description and beautiful use of language made this truly engrossing and it was unputdownable!!!
Please write part 2 and let Priya come and join Mrinal…asap lovely…

Comment on Lady Justice’s a Pretty Nice Girl by dipankardasgupta

Thank you Panchali. Few people would have the patience to read this long, long piece. So, I was careful in choosing the people to whom I had sent it. The first person was another e-friend in Bangalore. She writes well, but I don’t think she writes much anymore. The other was you, who also writes well and still writes!! Thanks again for liking it.

Dipankar,
That was a rib-tickling piece that definitely draws a grin to your face, make your shoulders shake and set your head to nod. ..!!!.
So, God is a blindfolded peeping Tom—oxymoron(?)…! OMG!! — “And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true” –hahaha
Humor just so easily oozes and drips through your pen, and that always brings us back for more…:)
Enjoyed immensely..
Regards,
Panchali

Comment on Paradise Regained: A Hairy Tale by dipankardasgupta

Thank you Panchali. I did try to spend a good deal of time on this story. And when I left revising it, I felt it was beyond my ability to brush it up any further. Of course, if I look back at it a few months later with a fresh mind, I might be able to improve it a little more. Glad that you liked it. Sulekha will not display it as far as I can make out. And I am not going to contact the people in charge. It’s a waste of time, since I will not a be part of Sulekha anyway. If you feel you want to share it with anyone who might also enjoy it, please feel free to do so. This is not a request, just a casual observation.

Best wishes.

Dipankar

haha…a tantalizing story that holds the readers attention so completely Oh so much for that little ‘land’?!! This is where wisdom of experience and courage of existence come in…..
What a stupendous write up !! Made me to remember the floating flair of Wahida Rehman’s saree as she sang,’Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai, aaj phir marne ka iraada hai,”
Delicious use of language, dipankar.

I really wish you were right. I spend gallons of energy to come up with these things for which the world has little use. Thank you for reading.

This is a theme of extremes – i wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole, if I had to write it that is. The first part was brilliant. It is only after the first part that the extremes started kicking in…the end is where you really excelled..:))
Excellent translation !! Must read Manish Ghatak now…
Write more – )))- you do write so well…
