Finally

Ohkay! its been more than 3 months since I made that 'Alternate History' post. I have no reason whatsoever for not replying to any of the comments made. Considering the huge gap, I think it was fitting to post my replies as a new post altogether.

So here it is....

Thank you people, thank you so much for writing in.

AVINASH, firstly, I don't know which particular section of my post made you think that I am anguished at the writer, or about the fact that he used Gandhi...I am not. I am sure he is a 'very nice guy' like you said. And since you seem to share some kind of a Texan liasion with him, just wanted to make sure he is still fine and nice.... Getting back to my post, the whole idea was to air my disgust at the whole concept of Alternate History. And why shouldn't I fill myself with hate for something that i sincerely...err...hate? I'll say this every day of the week...Alternate History is crappy and sickening.

And yes, dont ask me to calm down man...You can't...No one can. I hope you realize that this is my blog, my space and what i write in here is what I think. Voice your opinions, if you will, i love that...but dont ask me to calm down on my territory.

SAURABH, Of course I love the imaginative movies man, and who would know better than you? Isn't watching movies is something we did as a daily ritual in our roommate years?...The point I am trying to make is 'keep it off history' . Let aside Alternate History, even historical inaccuracies are frustrating. And that is the very reason why movies like Alexander and Mangal Pandey failed.

Rax, Yags, Raf, Kau....like you see, not many people think like you guys and me. Sad.

Back

3 months, 3 days.
Thats the longest time between posts I've ever had. And at this moment I am just glad that I am making this post, which will make sure it doesn't get any longer....

I was plannin to write something a few days back, and I was working on trying to provide certain reasons of the absence.

Didn't get any then.
Don't have any now.

Atleast I'm back :D
