'Criticism is very important to an artist, and we should have the humbleness of taking it as a guidance instead of having a negative attitude towards it.'--------Renu Singh

Rai Saheb,

Thank for you making 'The Word' part of Likhari. After working on 'The Return' for two years, I felt like peeking out of the shell and its a good feeling of acceptance and being part of a great literary magazine like Likhari.

I agree with Balbir Kaur Sanghera Jee that we writers need to give more feedback on the stories, articles, poetry we read. Its not only good for the critique in us, but also helps the author to better him/herself as an artist. I remember when I read one of my short stories in a Kahani Baithak and Jarnail Singh Jee said in a serious tone that you didn't work hard on this story...Mehnat nahin kiti...he said. And I was surprised to know how accurately he analyzed the story. That was actually the very first draft. I rarely revised my stories. At that time, Vaapsi was published and I knew myself as a novelist. I wasn't serious at writing short stories. It was merely flow of a moment that I didn't work hard on. The novelist in me didn't want to spend time on a short story.

Jarnail Singh Jee's feedback stared at the writer in me and sort of said what I read years ago in grade 8........'Main bhool gaya woh kathin raah'. No matter what I write, as a writer, I had the responsibility to present it with the best of my skills, not as my hobby. And I failed to do so. An artist is a medium to present the art, not to share it like a gossip emerging out of an artistic mind. I sat there listening to him and I sincerely thanked him for making me aware of my responsibility as a writer.

Few months later, sitting on a quiet beach, another story came out and Jarnail Singh Jee's words guided me through the entire two hours until I wrapped the words up. It sort of became the guiding light and the words aapo aapni jagah fell in place. And I remember, when I read that story, 'Joote ka Aayina', Jarnail Singh Jee said the story was actually created, not just written. That was the reward for being a writer, but his criticism on my earlier story was the biggest gift of all.

I think criticism is very important to an artist, and we should have the humbleness of taking it as a guidance instead of having a negative attitude towards it. An artist's world is above the level of an ordinary person, and it shouldn't feel offended as easily as someone would upon getting a comment on the shoes not matching with the outfit. Art is above that. I just want to request my friends that we should feel free to write about each other's work without the fear of offending the other, as long as the criticism is purely literary and doesn't have any personal motive to hurt someone's feelings.

As you can see, I can write forever, but just the last but not least is the suggestion to have a chat site developed in future, where the artists from all over the world can get together and hold a poetry session, crossing the miles and barriers of countries. I will save my comments on some writings to a later email.

Best Regards to all my writer friends:

Renu

Dear Sir,

I am sending herewith an article along with my photograph and FONT, i.e., used for the article. After the Operation Blue Star, June 1984 in the State of Punjab a bird Bazz was seen and the people started cremating this bird considering Guru Gobind Singh’s Bazz. In the towns and villages this Bazz was seen sitting and then dying and the people were astonished about it.  It was a mystery for the public.  This article shows the blind faith and ignorance of the people.  The article has been written on basis of news items about the Bazz and seen by writer and thereafter this article is based on the Indira Gandhi murder case decided by the Supreme Court of India and reported as Kehr Singh versus State  (SCR 1988, Supp. 2, page 27 and other law journals).

It has been published once only in the Punjabi Tribune dated: Friday, 10^th November 2000 at page 7.

‘puare dee jarh’ was a great story---Dr. Amarjeet Kaunkey

....your story ‘puare dee jarh’ was a great story which presents the mentality of a middleman in the society during this capitalist culture. But the important thing was that the person do not know that he is going towards a blind street. In your story this expression was very smooth(& clear).
