Anyday, anything, for iPune.<BR/><BR/>Mohan - Yes, "paradigm shift" flogged to death, like the whole brood of "quotients" prefixed by emotional, intelligence, etc.<BR/><BR/>Baruk - "against the tide" is and will always be about resistance. You are right there. And don't be disappointed that it has "a" specific and technically journalism root. Wait till you see another of the other roots - Boycott the Nano!<BR/><BR/>Gauri - thanks for your support and gentle prodding.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try out this style for a few weeks, but not more than 800 words.<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/>- Joe.Joe Pintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816903724816351432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994737786002197086.post-12545393797851853992009-03-24T12:17:00.000+05:302009-03-24T12:17:00.000+05:30a very useful article..

I also agree with baruk.. separate posts on each topic will help us discuss things in detail. <BR/>the piece of cliche with the examples ingrained in it reminds me of paragraphs from Maugham's Mrs Craddock and in The Razor's Edge. He has detailed how the characters punched their talks with an overdose of idioms and cliches... :)Gauri Gharpurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887888023298949657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994737786002197086.post-38458141959796136222009-03-24T05:52:00.000+05:302009-03-24T05:52:00.000+05:30dear joe,would be nice if you could chop up your a...dear joe,<BR/><BR/>would be nice if you could chop up your articles into seperate posts, even if they are on the same day. makes it easier to read, think and intelligently comment on each/or. <BR/><BR/>what is the lifetime of a cliche? and is it safe to recycle unused ones? interesting piece.<BR/><BR/>i'd thought against the tide' was a manifesto for resistance in general, and feel a little dissapointed, somehow, that it has such a specific and technically journalism root. <BR/><BR/>@mohan: quite agree! and in my circle, found out a while ago that most of us who used it didn't know what a paradigm was! lol.feddabonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365326300429832990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994737786002197086.post-31143091553333938802009-03-23T17:36:00.000+05:302009-03-23T17:36:00.000+05:30Nice article!
