In Sajha, I have seen things get ugly quick. I am not a fighter by nature, so I will give up even before the dispute starts. Believe me this is not an insult piece.

Captain Ji,
The piece is not about accent. One sentence in the beginning may have given you that impression, but believe me you, it is not about accent or spoken English. Frankly, if accent and grammar bothered me, I would bother me a lot.

Godzilla,
Thank you for respectfully disagreeing. I welcome constructive criticisms. This being event-based situational observations that I narrated in first person, I felt the need to be transparent with my commentary. In my humble opinion, I compromised subtlety because I wanted you to feel what I saw. So I will have to, to a certain extent, disagree with you in regards to your Russel Peter comments. I can’t stand the guy.

Laughing Buddha,
Pointing what you find odd is not equivalent to: “I am better than you.” I can only express regret if you felt that way.

I thought there was a little more to this piece than some Indian phrases that I find peculiar.
