574th BLOG POST -->>
Huffff!!! So, finally I can breathe in relief. Sometimes you do things by keeping someone's development and improvement in mind but, in retaliation, you get accusations and black ink on your face itself. When I started Blogging in 2009, I didn't wanted to be a writer, neither did I dreamed of getting anything over 10 readers. But, as time passed, I started getting unexpected. After a while, when I observed my self and my writing, I realized that I have good creative mind which can help me to develop a very interesting story, I aimed to get my story published one day. Either in 5 years, 10 years or may be after my retirement. Then, I started reading Indian authors to know what exactly is the Indian market for books. And as I wanted to be one of them, I thought of promoting them by reviewing their books on my blog. And since then, I started getting lots of authors' request on my Facebook a/c. I added them and accepted thanks from them. Even the one whom I didn't reviewed positively, added me and thanked me for telling the flaws of their book. Then, authors started ordering their books for me so that I can review them on my blog because they found my reviews very genuine. And this is how I developed friendship with lots of authors. They told me how their book sales got up after getting it reviewed on my blog. And I felt too happy about myself that I entered in this area without any knowledge and ended up being helpful to the authors.
But, it is said, not everyone has the maturity to take everything positively. Today, a writer read one of my book reviews of some other writers, he liked the way I thrashed the book straight-forwardly rather than writing only positives to get into the good books of those writers. Then, he posted the link of that review on his Facebook profile. It started getting Hits and Likes once again. Actually, the book is written by two authors- a male and a female. They are known for writing Sex repeatedly throughout their book and also in every book they write. I just mentioned this in the review so that they can know that an avid reader like me wants to read something new from them. The female author read the review in the first week itself and posted the comment- "We will try to write better next time". I thought every thing went finer as I wanted it to go. But, now, when this author posted the link and it got spread to maximum people, in dono ki almost fatt gayi.
First, the male author posted on his Facebook-"Well, I think people who buy my books and expect there would be no sex (or less sex) in it should stop wasting their money. :) Don't blame me later. :D" After few minutes, the female author posted it on her Facebook-"If you read my books just so you can bash them on your "famous" blog later, I suggest you try and work sincerely on the one you have been trying to write/publish since a zillion freaking years. Use your time and energy wisely. And oh, for all of the MANY (read: 0 to 4) people who comment on your blog—Don't you have anything better to read? ;)".
I never expected this to come from the authors who claim to have a fan base of 2,50,000 readers. After the status, I had a little conversation with the male author and he talked to me with politeness and justified his points. But, this girl has already argued with me on Social Networking sites for innumerable times. She feels that she is famous everywhere but she has no acquaintance with reality. Few months ago, she was targeting my grammar. Have I ever claimed that I have good grammar? But, the real optimistic person checks my earlier blogs and see what I used to write then, and applaud me later for improving. Some of them who are more closer to me says that there is a big room of improvement. And I accept it because I know that I was 0 in grammar till 2009. I have started improving after I realized that I am getting readers for my blog. So my dear female author, rather than targeting someone who is trying to tell you what drawbacks your book consists of, try to improve yourself. You know yourself that you aren't good in grammar. So, first improve yours and then target me. If you had guts, you should have written your 3rd book without any support but you chose to co-author it with your boyfriend's friend who is already famous in the market. Hahaha.
And you pointed out at the number of comments my blog gains, your status got 8 comments while the one which I posted against you got 15. And let me tell you, I have 90% of my readers subscribed through mail, so whatever I get comes into my mail rather than on blog page. And taking out such points shows how immature you are still, even after getting the tag of "so-called" writer. And, more than that, this shows the insecurity both of you have in yourself. If you consider me a blogger having 0-4 readers, why did you come out to prove that you will keep writing Sex and the Blogger who is speaking against you is the one for just 0-4 readers? Who knows the exact number of readers of your books? No one. And you said that I should try sincerely on what I am trying to write/publish from zillion years, right? I hope you will celebrate your zillions birthday as may be the people who are more inclined towards Sex have such a long life. And, from 2.5 years, I am trying to write this Blog and I am doing quite well. At least, I am versatile and I don't point out at my readers when they tell me my flaws. And I am being read by legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Chetan Bhagat, Robin Sharma and Rashmi Bansal, what about you? You are even half-blind as you just noticed the number of comments I receive on my blog page but you were unable to notice the number of official followers in the left column and the number of hits in the right column with the number of fans on my Blog page on FB. I am so sad for you. Hope you will grow with age. Because you are just 20. And above that, you are trying to take revenge from people who are trying to correct your mistakes. Do you retaliate in the same way to the common youngsters too or you gave this special treatment to me because my review can be accessed by everyone? :-)
So, as your status update has shown your insecurity you have because of the review I gave of that porn book of yours, I hope you will get some brain which will think of writing something else than SEX in your book. What you think is what you write. And, your book shows your thinking. I hope your brain will think of anything else except sex one day. And when you will get critical acclamation for that work of yours, you will find readers like me more sensible than those who keep demanding sex from you. And, as I am ending this post, I would also like to post my Facebook status which I made in reply of yours,"So, finally, the great writers of our nation are revolting against my book reviews because I'm not perfect in grammar. Fine. I don't have it and I know it. But even you should know that your books have nothing else than Sex. Right? And, you should have guts to accept your mistake and drawbacks rather than pointing out at the person who is having complains with you. Enough said." and "Once upon a time, two authors had a great fantasy of having sex with their respective partners. Like every time, they were having sex with their respective sex partners when a Blogger whom they considered as "No standard" came into the room. They got so offended that they released their Sex Clips all over the world to prove that no one can do Sex as wildly as them, and in the end, they lost whatever they had and the Blogger of "no standard" achieved the crown of wisdom by making them do what no one could have ever done of their so-called standard."
And please answer just one question,"Is everyone allowed to read your books or only those with perfect grammar are allowed?" It will also help your readers to know what you think of people with bad grammar because 90% of them would be imperfect, and they will get to know your perspective about them. And I challenge you that I will get my book published one day- either from the same publisher from whom you got your book published or from a better one. Just wait for the day to come.
Thanks.
ABHILASH RUHELA- VEERU (I'm happy I'm a blogger because of whom the true self of these authors came out in their FB status otherwise it would have been impossible to do that).

Writing sex is not a bad thing if you write about it in an elegant way. Try reading 'Paulo Coelho' if you haven't, i like that writer. He too write sex in his novels but sex is not the target material in his novels. From my experience, till now all the books by an Indian Writer who (if added sex) writes sex; do it just to increase his/her sale. - Apurv Verma
Abhilash.. like always no need to say that you are really a good blogger and definitely your readership is not in 0-4 but such things is not recommended. in any case you are publicizing them. dont lose your cool. its readers who decide everything.hope you will understand.
I liked your article. And now I'm getting curious to know who these two writer's are? Anyhow, grammar is a issue with everyone. I doubt anyone is perfect in this world. Even I struggle with it when I'm writing my articles/blogs. Needless to say, you have come across a long way. I remember when we first became friends on twitter and I started reading your blog...I could point out a dozen mistakes but I never did that. Simply because I knew somewhere I lack in grammar as well, and any writer [beginner or advanced] should get a chance to improve on his/her writing skills.
You see, when people reach at the height of their career, they tend to feel insecure. Doesn't matter if they are competing with someone who's at the same level or a common man [like yourself]. You must keep your head together and simply ignore such absurd comments! :)
Oh ignore her Abhilash..jst don't spoil your levels just to teach others a moral..chill..
omg!! this is what real guts is??!! go for it abilash.. grammar is not a big deal.. i think no one is perfect in it... so u need not bother..u ll always improve.. u ll prove them wrong.. don't worry..!!there are millions of readers like me who follow your blog every time.. so u keep going..!!

NIce one Bhai....just ignore such kind of people....We are with you....tum Lage Raho..:)
nikita singh...u suck! get some gutz babe! xD
Very honestly, I've read a few of Durjoy Datta's books and one which he co-authored with another girl, not Nikita Singh, and I've even forgotten which book had what story! Blame it on my memory or the books.
Anyways, I have 3 things to say,
1. Since these writers are writing in the genre of love/romance, there is going to be sex- for the story to be normal and real, and more importantly if it is essential to the storyline.
2. Every reader perceives and understands a book(story) a little differently than the other (which is the essence of reading fiction), some may take sex as to be normal and some may as unnecessary, and hence difference of opinions amongst 'readers' may arise.
3. When a reader, as you, gives the feedback of your understanding, likes and dislikes of the book, it is only agreeable on the part of the writer to either take it positively, give an explanation on disagreement or simply ignore. But not defame/insult a reader, and a fellow writer.
Durjoy's reply is explanation, but Nikita's reply is purely negative which only shows how anyone who would say something bad for her book would be regarded as. I think if most of the elite readers, usually into more serious and better (mostly foreign) fiction, read new young Indian authors writing romance and sex; they would not really give as good remarks either.
Never mind, if you got your point across, grammar is secondary. And also, keep reading and reviewing, it's a free country.
real nice blog posting thanks for sharing blog

Just want to quote something by Chetan Bhagat in context to the grammer thing -
"A good grammer doesn't make you a good writer, a good heart does. Else english teachers would have been writing bestsellers."
---- Rohit Yadav
Hmmm... Did I miss this blog :P ... Exceptionally well presented buddy. In fact, you highlighted both the sides, which deserves applause. You are not at fault and I am damn sure about this. English is the secondary language for Indians and the story will always remain the same. Some people like that idiot learn few words here and there, polish their grammar to a certain extent, then think that they are " Shakespeare ki Chatti aulad". She is destined to fall and see dust in the near future because she doesn't have guts to swallow criticism. I have seen on her page too, she literally trolls and deletes those people who say a single word against her book. This indicates that somewhere down the line, she is not confident of herself and her potential if that was the case she could have accepted her drawbacks, took positives out of it and moved ahead. But no she believes in crushing her critics, which is not possible. I am glad that Abhilash you are taking her head on... And yes, bhai your grammar is improving and as during the course of time, I am sure, you will master English. Just keep writing. We readers are with you. :)
