( In this section, the editor himself replies to queries from the readers. As thousands of letters are received every month — some anxious and several frivolous —it is neither possible nor convenient to attend to all. Selected letters are usually treated in an informative and humorous strain and no offense is meant to anyone. ) HARISH CHANDRA GOLASH (New Delhi) Is India a nation or a mob ? It is a well-behaved crowd which follows the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and looks up to Jawaharlal Nehru for deliverance. What is meant by the term "Reserved nature" as applieJ to some modern women? It means the paw with the nails drawn in. P. V. NAIR (Agra) Can you give in short the biography of the Bombay Talki Founded by Himansu Rai. Rounded by Pralhad Rai. K. R. RANGIAH (Sacunderabad) Who is the best singer amongst the following: Saigal, Pankaj Mullick and Surendra ? Saigal was a good singer. Pankaj is still a good one. In comparison Surendra only recites. I like Sadhona Bose's dances better than Uday Shanker's. What is your opinion? How can I disagree with you ? You have been too loyal a reader. D. M. PRABHU (Mahim) To what school of politics do you belong ? Two-meals-a-day politics which need plenty of hard work every day. RAMAN V. SHETH (Bombay) What is the true definition of "Real Journalism' : I don't know. I am not a journalist. I write to sell, being a wholesale dealer in words. Write to one of the usual crowd which believes in the "nobility" of the profession. I don't. ASVIN KUMAR GHOSH (Howrah) What is your opinion regarding love-marriage ? In love, marriage is wholly unnecessary. Love is harmony in itself. Why tie a ceremonial ribbon round it ? I. G. CHANDRASEKAR (Adoni) When will our film industry improve ? Never. This is not an industry that should be picked for improvement. MISS KHURSHEED PERWEEN (Allahabad) Who is your pet actress ? I keep dogs as pets. R. N. SAHGAL (Lahore) It is said "Dead men tell no tales," but what about dead women? Women leave the tales behind. Like men, they don't carry them to the grave. NASIR UDDIN (Jubbulpore) Whom do you consider a greater man -the one who loves mankind in general or the one who dies lor the freedom of his motherland ? Neither. Mankind, as we find it today with its Atomic civilization, is not worth loving much. And with such inhabitants hardly any land is a good motherland to be fought for and free!. In my opinion that man is great who earns his livelihood by hard and honest work and does not become a burden on others. And from his surplus sometimes helps a deserving neighbour, be Masud Parvcz and Renuka Devi make a new romantic team in "Ghulami", a thrilling patriotic story of Shalimar Pictures. 23
