We are reading you. We may be few but we exist. And many things you write and say have a deep (even if invisible) impact on how we see and engage with the world. If each of us start documenting what we observe around us the way you do, there is hope. So thank you for that!

We live in new times as digital info moves in real time& cyber wars invade privacy faster& most people are redefining success& failure or even as you write rejection& popularity. A few more years people may look at these times with a different lens of digital disruption& rebuilding human communities and understandings.

'I prefer anonymity to keep saying no.' -- such powerful words.

I see you and Sudha Murthy both coming from privilege. Privilege if a scaffolding set up to write in peace (you) and write whatever (Murthy) and get edits and published.

But who is able to discern the difference between her and your writing is your readers, so you are good.

And that sour grapes comment is lame. 😒

Praise to you who sees joy and humor in living. Praise to you for your saying no! Anoniomity, Professor, will not be yours.

These are very pertinent observations. We live in a world of distortion and aberration but very less of correction. Building empires of ego over rubbles of bigger egos!
