This woman knows what she is talking about – we can do some things, and we should. We don’t have to be vegetarian, but we can choose to eat meat that isn’t factory farmed – a steak once a month from a grazing steer rather than burgers every other day, for example, is better for them, and much better for us – immediately and in the long run.

Folks,
To the common man in America, there is no choice but to use the gas he needs to go to work and get groceries. He is working, paying taxes(including road and gas taxes. He too, like the cat, eats when he is hungry. He cannot live next to his office, there are no good schools there. He cannot walk to the bus, it is not practical..

Greed is bad and so is crime. We already have quite a few laws that regulate misuse of the eath by corporations – just enforce it. They have always figured out how to stay within the law and make money while providing you with things of value at a reasonable price. What happens when oil runs out ? If they want to make money, they will figure out another means. But pls don’t play into the hands of corrupt politicians and crony capitalists pushing for something stupid like electric cars ( worse foot print than ordinary cars), ethanol ( starves the poor) etc. There are somethings we can all do to save the earth -like being vegetarians. How many people do that?

Its beautiful… critic is a part of writing, which actually is getting half nude in front of the public. Though nudity is good in a way.. it gives you confidence in yourself..
I read the book and loved it!
Keep rytin..

cheers

I just saw this title while browsing a bookstore yesterday …
I had been into a kind of delusive ,carnal world since last (Cant figure out) ….
The cover is very impressive …. (Made me pick at random)
but with the erotica Genre ….. i kept it back …
again saw the KASHMIR BLUE reference …
piecked it up again ….. went to random pages …
kept it down …..
Then there was this blues of lady like ….
In mesh I thought of going through it ….
The liberating sense of MS Deshpande …. I think it will help me realise you … and the quest …
I have started it … with Sir Ludvig van and Benson lights …
Will keep updated …….

Aseem , I am so glad you enjoyed reading this book. I love Jane Austen, but there are so many great writers in the world, and everyone has such diverse likes and dislikes... you should read as much as you can, of everything. I personally prefer to read non-fiction now, history and politics. Am reading "Humanity" by Jonathan Glover right now.

Dear Urmi,

I am so glad to have found this Web site. I would love to get back in touch with you. Have thought of you often but lost your phone number and was unable to track you down via the Web. Do write to me, please. Congratulations on your book. I haven’t managed to get hold of a copy yet, but I am looking forward to reading it. Did you think that my sketch of your dear mother was a fair one?

I hope that you and your young men are healthy and thriving.

Love,

Josna
