Thank you Veena :). I guess criticism is quite a dicey thing and I have never really realized as to which is the right way to handle it. Sometimes accepting feels right while some other times retaliating feels nice. I guess it depends on the person delivering it as well. If we don’t like them, I guess we are not going to accept it, no matter how sane or sensible it sounds :)

Thank you Lance, we really do love the quotes. Somehow we are completely mesmerized by them, glad that you find them interesting :).. Makes us feel the pat on our backs :)

Thank you Vinodini.. True, the initial days of writing were terrible, I used to look at the posts for hours together, send it to a couple of friends for their feedback and thoughts on it and then decide whether I should post it or not. Now I think we have published more than 300 articles on the site and it feels so good to be writing now and looking back to see that there is such a remarkable improvement in the writing style and presentation as well. I guess that is what people call it the art of writing which really is nothing but doing it over and over and over again!!!

I agree Abhijit, I think the stock response is to get a little angry, cry fowl and flare at people whos ay that we are wrong. But I guess, none of us really can avoid a feedback. I have felt so many times that I really wish I could, but somehow, it does sneak up on us, esp when we are not ready at all. But maybe that is the beauty of it, we need to take it in our own stride and keep moving forward. There has to be a way ahead and it has to be beautiful :)
