Editing...

of any written work - book, newspaper, newsletter, magazine, journal....anything...has an element of literary ethics. An editor has a responsibility to the author and to the reader.

Sometimes I really do think we've lost all sense of decorum and polish. For us, as it always is in all conditions and circumstances - arrey - ismay itnee badi baat kya hai - or, why make a big thing out of this.....for, for us Indians, nothing matters.....sab chalta hai - everything goes...
