“So, how often do you go to the bookshops to see your work?” asked a senior writer.
“Haven’t been there since the launch.”
“What?”
“Yes. I am confused.”
“Why?”
“If I don’t see any copies, then I will think no one wants it.”
“What if there are copies?”
“It could also mean no one wants it!”
“This is a most extraordinary logic.”
“One of the few times I am logical…”

Wow! Illogically logical.
Occam's Razor or what?
Yor are logical to the core ....however when i googled you (I made Google a verb some days back)....here is what your signature in Covert Magazine says ..."Farzana Versey is a columnist who has a healthy disregard for objectivity. She can be reached at kaaghaz.kalam@gmail.com"......but you are selectively subjective ......so i dont know ...one more web site describes you "Indian Muslim woman writer"...I am not sure what were they trying to showcase , your being woman ...or being muslim ....or being writer ...I safely concluded that they were stumped by the combo ....that deadly combo ....Manish
After reading this I would like to read an account of your visit to a book shop!!
PS:
How about macro minimalism?

The Cvert footnote is from my profile on thsi blog written by me. No oen knwos how to describe me, so we had to settle for this...
I don;t believe logic and objectivity are the same thing..may be some other time.
"but you are selectively subjective ......so i dont know ..."
I am very subjetcive.
"one more web site describes you "Indian Muslim woman writer"...I am not sure what were they trying to showcase , your being woman ...or being muslim ....or being writer ...I safely concluded that they were stumped by the combo ....that deadly combo"
:)Oh, there are all kinds of descriptions; someone even referred to em as disheveled Muslim writer...wonder why I have to post pictures with my hair flying about!And of course you know about the one who called me a pinko jihadi...
