Whenever you write something which is not in the line of what BJP or RSS support, the comments that pour in are vituperative, full of hatred and insulting. You are called porn writer, old hag etc.by these haters and it seems moderators at the TOI dont bother to moderate at all and they are sleeping on the job.<br />It is ok to have different points of view but abusing like this is very painful.goodluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747177116658617395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-73073708311562482182012-02-05T17:53:06.811+05:302012-02-05T17:53:06.811+05:30Firstly iam happy that you will be there for the ...Firstly iam happy that you will be there for the litfest-from your post its clear it is an important fest(it becomes important when its in pakistan-may be the curiousity about pak ,last i heard from you about pakistan was with regard to book my feudal lord.)<br />i will be waiting for your post-on Karachi Lit fest,take care and have a great time!Pooja Rathorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842722660077056706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-31688596071088124202012-02-05T14:17:04.919+05:302012-02-05T14:17:04.919+05:30They will present the best side.

I have always wanted to go and see it and study all about it and talk to people who actually live there and figure out for myself this country I have been conditioned to distrust, since childhood.
