feeling better already!

Posted: Jul 9, 2008 Wed 07:35 am     Views: 363    Interacts: 10

Just when I was feeling low, I got a sweet email to perk me up:

[dear atif,

Just wanted to let you know that you are a gifted person and an up and coming satirist worthy of someday being compared to the likes of Dave Barry. You craft words with the deftness of a music composer, leaving your readers in awe of your symphony. Your uncanny ability to convey your message by your masterful grasp of language is second to none. There is no doubt in my mind that one day you will be known well beyond the confines of Boston.

Good luck!]


Yes, I wrote the above email and sent it to myself this morning. Which goes a long way to show that when you have no one to make you feel better, you can always have yourself to lean on.

That's what they all say! Kambakhat, no respect for my intellectual property!

But I like you anyway, don't ask me why!

Perhaps I have a thing or two for pathetic loser souls!! :))

Shandana is grrrrrreaaaaatttt! She should not be called a Pakistani!

[you stole this idea of sending present to oneself from my piece "Hercule Poirot's Christmas".]

i am sorry BJ, I rarely read your "writings". I mean, why read your writings when i can read the same thing in Farzana Versey's ilogs or Shandana Minhas' books?

Atif2, plagiarist! Sala harrami - you stole this idea of sending present to oneself from my piece "Hercule Poirot's Christmas". Chore Pakistani choot!

Congratulations, Atif2 - your first fan mail! It must remind you so much of your first sexual experience so much!

Regardless any one knows you outside Boston, at least you know yourself. That is the highest any one can desire.

stukay, no. shoresahib is too busy preparing for his second date with that girl - the unapologetic heterosexual man that he is!

Atif, being able to write oneself admirational e-mails or making love to oneself are good qualities to have.

thanks hurricane. but dont let that stop you from being that well wisher

a well written email, atif!

It would have put any actual well wishers to shame :)
