@kaushik: liked your recent article on freedom fighters. Its a shame our history books have conveniently obliterated their names in favour of some other bigger ones.

@others: kaushik’s article is a good example of how even non-strategy articles can be entertaining, provided we know that we are reading in context of the incredible indians contest. Maybe it has to do with the blog headline and how the article is being conveyed across.

I liked your article – in fact, I did not read this article as one of strategy, rather, an attempt to tell something different. Your Faux Pas on Sholay doesn’t matter to me (though I am a big fan of the movie) – because the idea was not to write about Sholay, but something else.

But, it would be easier on the eye and mind for ignorant readers like me if you could keep the language a bit lighter

@ Sudipto:
1. This was never intended to be an article of strategy.
2. This is a radical idea in physics and difficult to comprehend but one that does have credence. The idea of writing this blog was to possibly present this in the terms that a wider audience can relate or think about without any background to Quantum Physics or mathematics. Hence the examples though I must say I am not very good at hindi movies!
3. Incidentally this is not a Whim that I alone am personally perusing like ‘bed being a time machine’. For starters if you want to know more with out getting into the details of Quantum physics may I humbly recommend a book that can quick start this ‘THE END OF TIME’ by Julian Roberts’.
4. ‘Time’ did not exist before the ‘big bang’ (also known as singularity) in the universe, this might be a far fetched idea to contemplate but this is a fact which leads to one stream of thought that says time is not an absolute entity in physics.
@Abrahim:
1. Appreciate your view on presentation and will present more pictorial view when dealing with such subjects.
2. I would love to present the mathematically equations here that will certainly drive the analysis aspect but cannot be done in couple of short blocks.

@Suresh:
1. I must admit this was indeed a faux paus, an oversight but the idea was to try and project a rather abstract idea that can be better understood and all can relate to.

@Abhiram: You make a very interesting point number 1. This is what I was exactly arguing for. And keep the good work coming in. I went through your comics article as well and found them very interesting read.

@Shubham: Liked your recent article on facebook lite. I think you and Abhiram contribute the best work on strat.in. Although to a finance guy, Abhishek’s articles would seem extremely impressive as well.

@Sudipto: Appreciate your concern and thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed my Ramayana v/s Mahabharata article. We will take your comments under advisement, and we’d also appreciate your comments on our other posts as well. Like Gupte said, our best source of feedback is comments.

@Author: I agree with Sudipto here, although we should give a little bit of leeway to the author since he does mention that there is a second part, but there are a few things I’d like to say:

1) This article does indeed feature no analysis, though it does offer some interesting insights, but these would have been more at home at a science/metaphysics blog rather than a strategy blog. I know that there is a second part, but this part did seem a bit longer than necessary, and doesn’t really have anything to say that would be at home in Strat.in

2) The writing style is a little heavy and overbearing, and it is an example of what is commonly referred to on the internet as “Wall of Text”.

You do have a lot to say, and I agree that it would take a certain amount of space to put forward your ideas, but you could have improved on your presentation. For example, you could have kept shorter blocks of texts, or used pictures to drive home a point. This would have made it much easier on the reader.

For instance, the Flip Book is an excellent example, but you could have made it a little easier for the reader, by either a pictorial example, or by putting your ideas in bullet points.

Thanks for that extremely constructive feedback. It would be nice to know the kind and nature of articles that readers admire. And one metric we have is the comments on the post. Would it be possible to write a small comment whenever you really like a post and maybe a long, descriptive one when you don’t? That would be really appreciated.

Maybe a majority of stuff i get to read these days is from “reflections”. In any case, it should be seperated from the core philosophy of your blog – maybe a seperate page ?

Though, I must mention that a few of the articles i have read are absolute brilliance : e.g. the ramayana v/s mahabharata article. The others posted by shubham are pretty good as well.

But on the whole, i find the quality of your blog to be deteriorating very quickly. Because i have been a regular reader (although not posted a lot of comments, i must admit), i am genuinely pained to see what the blog has become. Frankly, its reached a point where anyone, just anyone can keep posting whatever he feels like.

This has to stop. Or the readers will take their viewership elsewhere.

Few days back, we had started this as a part of the reflections series as well. (Check post category) This was on special request by readers who wanted the authors to write on something different as well. I guess, you may have missed this development on the blog . Check http://strat.in/category/reflections for more. Reflections was positioned as a category where there is a non-strategy element to the article, yet its interesting for people with different tastes.

@sukesh – yes, we monitor posts meticulously here! Welcome to the strat.in community, and would like to see more comments from you here!
