My mentor in Journalism Ka Naa Subramanyam once gave me a letter of recommendation to be given over to Anees Jung the then Editor of Youth Times. The letter said,"Rajbir Deswal writes tolerably well!" I didn't then under the undertone or the overtone as I didn't understand what the other day someone wrote to me what follows:--
"My dear Rajbir,
You want 2 know the home truth. OK gear up 2 hear it.Y have been a 'successful' writer. Its a pity people do not know what is good and what is succesful. I am sure u dont want 2 hear 2. Your writing may be lapped up by stupid persons, but it is immature, stupid and useless. I am sorry if I offended u, but trueth is always bitter, What u write should be put in the toilet 4 people to use it 2 wipe their asses. Can u stand the truth? If not think of me as a bloody fool. Its OK with me. But u write trash. Forgive me for Iam drunk and cant tell a lie."
