If you care to believe it, this blog tries to make a difference in the world by dedicating itself to the Democracy, Discussion, Freedom, and Furtherment of Comedy.

The author (mainly? sometimes??) talks about Singapore, but is into all things comedy and comical. And once even seriously entertained the notion of going into stand-up comedy full-time.

Dear Fook Kwang,

I refer to my e-mail dated 23 November 2004 below. Due to copyright concerns, I have removed the articles from the newsgroup.

In doing so, I am also withdrawing the request for a reply.

This is now a matter to be resolved directly between Mr Pranay Gupte and the Straits Times.

I will not pursue this matter further.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Happiness,
Dharmendra Yadav
