Perverted, I laud you for bringing up Khushwant Singh's name. (For people who have not read Mr Singh's works, if you start reading then you will stop making Sardarji jokes.LOL!) Yes, I do love his simplicity and beauty in his writing. After all whoever said the following seem right. "A good writer is like a criminal in some way. How? It's because both prefer short sentences" From English composition one I remember another quote about using words appropriately which goes somewhat like. "One does not need to use a dollar-worth word where one of a dime-worth will suffice" Keep up the good work Mr Galt and other writers on Sajha. :)
