Arrey, baba! If all these cyber discussions are having no effect at all, and if whatever we (both sides) have had to say on various issues are useless, then why are the nay-sayers even bothering to respond? Our respective political stances aside, the fact that we are responding to one another is a proof that whatever each of us have written has made the other THINK, is it not? Isn't making people think good? Or are we not supposed to think at all and submit ourselves to the servitude of His Majesty the King? This notwithstanding the fact that there are many more who have chosen not to write -- the silent readers. All right, all you nay-sayers! If you don't believe in the power of ideas from abroad, and if you still think discussions on a cyber forum is all but crap, please do all of us a favor by ignoring us. Let there be proof that you have ignored us and DO NOT respond. Keep quiet and go about your own business(es). Bhayo? As for myself, I still believe making people think -- aek jana lai mattra bhayeni -- is an achievement on a "thopa-thopa" ko level. So, I will continue to write every now and then. The struggle is long and difficult, I know (and I have felt it!), but I know I must not give up. And sadly for you nay-sayers, NOT even the wrath of your ugliest criticisms are going to stop me. Other than that, ghumdai firdai rumjataar bhanya jasto, eutai kura dohryai dohryai fan fani ghumnu bhanda, for now at least, I would suggest you do what you have to do, and we shall do what we have to do. We will see who wins at the end. I will keep shut until a new and interesting issue is raised. Let us agree to disagree on the rest. :)
