Uncle ji,
We were harassed by Mr. Khushwant Singh when he was invited to our exhibition in India Habitat Centre.
Good afternoon,

Regarding Khushwant Singh Ji, I had a really bad experience.

He was invited to exhibition of our class in Delhi University as a Chief Guest.

A classmate and a relative of a well known Punjabi writer went to accompany him.

But that day he refused to come to the exhibition except if a female student came to his house.

But the other guest, who was a psychologist, came easily without much ado.

So no those of us who were there were shocked and do not like him.

Unfortunate sad truth.

Have a nice day ahead.

Surjit, I have been an admirer of your writings ever since your first book “Ik si kudi Neelam” and collection of short stories (or should I say episodes) in English. You have a great style of your own which makes reading your ‘works’ thoroughly enjoyable. Look forward to reading more of your ‘middle’ articles/books.

Regards,
Harindar Bedi

Dear Gen Surjit,
I like the way Kushwant Singh writes. It is direct, pithy, honest and sentences are constructed simply and one never has to read it twice to get the meaning.So if you can write like him you are a good writer.I wish I could write like him.
By the way I read his latest book’Free Thinker’s Prayer Book’. I was disappointed.The selections lost their beauty due their rendering in english, very few were profound and most of them reflected his tiredness and perhaps a desire and an effort to add one more title to his list of publications.The book will not find a permanent place on my book shelf.Regs best

Dear General,

I liked your linking meeting and mating (both with the Panjabi pronunciation). Perhaps the functioning of a committeecan be liken to shitting – first there’s a sitting, then a report before finally the matter is dropped.

Warmly,

Sriram

I once had the good opportunity ,
of receiving a postcard from the world’s greatest writer ,
as I may permitted to say
He is unbeatable

I read him when he comes out with his Sunday
now once in a way Monday script

Without him I shudder…
Surjit, lest you take over from him.
I SHALL REVERT ON YOUR work a bit later
allow me that latitude..

bade arse sey armaan tha mera
Khushwant SinghJI!
kay liye likhhoon koi sairra
par aaj taluk himmat na huee
kaun jane
kabb ayega
woh savera!

MAY THE ALMIGHTY BLESS SIR KHUSWANT SINGH JI .
I WISH

”mere bhee life
joe hai thoddee bakkee
dey de khuda tuu
KHUSHWANT JI Koe hee
Jeeee…
