I agree completely.

: Dear Ms.Ratnam,
: It seems quite amusing to see such a mountain made out of a molehill! As I understand it, as a person eternally greedy for media exposure, all you wanted was a coverage of your performance--although you choose to call it (rather fancily) as "giving an opportunity to young members of the print media, who are struggling to cover the arts in an intelligent way." So to speak, one must be prepared to accept whatever comes one's way--be it bouquets or brickbats. The title really reflects what you are doing to the divine art of Bharathanatyam--making faces. One cannot expect 'The Emperor's New Clothes' Syndrome to last forever--somebody is sure to see through the plot eventually. While on one hand we see half-baked & nepotistic critics rubbishing the efforts of lesser-priveleged but superlatively-talented dancers,why you make such a fuss about the mere title of an article which is otherwise hugely complimentary, is something I fail to understand.
