Shantam, if you re-read the first sentence of the second paragraph of my previous post perhaps you might then grasp that I saw there was a possibility of irony in your post but I was uncertain whether this was your intention.

Then if you re-read the rest of that paragraph you’ll find that I suggest this is because your posts often tend to be unclear in that respect (which, by the way, is not necessarily due to the presence or absence of an exclamation mark). This you yourself confirm by indicating, with typical vagueness, that not only irony but also “satire and continuity of other feelings” – whatever those might be! – might also be indicated by an exclamation mark.

Please also re-read the last bit of my post (“but…the most dreadful confusion”) and see whether you can spot where I was coming from. A clue: A 5 letter word, beginning with i and ending in y.

Assuming you get that, do you now see your last paragraph is irrelevant (unless applied to yourself)?

English is not my native language, but as much as I know, there is a difference between full stop (.) and exclamation mark (!). When prose ends with full stop, it means it is complete in itself. Exclamation mark, on the other hand, shows irony, satire and continuity of other feelings.

Pundits are most of the time sign-blind. They can never deduce the intention and true meaning. They are so full with their pseudo-knowledge. (This is statement based on Osho´s influence!).

Yes, Kavita, Kusum is everywhere and nowhere. Can’t wait for his next announcement from on high.

Er, no, not if you’re just shooting off any old notion that happens to fly into your head. Trusting mere outer form without adequate content is one definition of stupidity, isn’t it?

But perhaps I’m underestimating your powers of irony, Shantam…I have advised you to warn everyone of your intentions by creating a heading, ‘THIS POST IS MEANT TO BE IRONIC’, whenever appropriate – but you’ve stubbornly refused to follow such advice, leading to the most dreadful confusion….

Yes, Madhu dear, my response is public, just so I can match the ever-omnipresent thought!

“You’re too keen to suggest something ‘radical’, Shantam.”
It is true. Am I not true follower of my guru?!

Good humour, Kavita…smile into the morning´s blue sky today here;
little bit freezing, little bit cold, as it ought to be that time of the geosphere here.

Your response is public, isn´t it?
So – my smile to that is public too…AND for you….

Lokie, he (Kusum) is thought itself, who travels the world & not only never leaves the screen but is also omnipresent!

One can only stand back and wonder where Kusum mines these pearls of wisdom. He never fails to astound me with his enlightening comments.
