Well, now that the furor's died down, I'll say that I just couldn't ruin the joke by saying AJP called me on Friday to ask if I was going to NYC for the Desi Blogger lunch at Bay Leaf (how'd it go, AJP?) or that AJP isn't at the heart of some sordid affair with any of the Mutineers (don't you read her diary, fools?).

And also, some of you guys lend credence to my pet theory that, at heart, desis are heinously bovine herd animals, and easily stampeded. Please try and learn to think or I will make fun of you on the inter-web-thingy.

Yeah I knew this was a joke all along. The idea of 2 guys fighting over Anna is just to farfetched to believe. Haha.

why? oh, right. you know you don't have a chance with her, so you write some dick comment like this. you could've stopped after your first sentence when you made your point, but that would've been to civilized.

i wonder how far-fetched it is to put you in anna's place, to have two anythings fighting over you.

haha.

say you were frustrated it was happening, say it was unoriginal as they come (it was) say it wasn't even believable slightly (it wasn't...too many details that weren't needed...kinda like vishal's comment) say that you are tired of it.

but don't diss someone who never did anything to you anonymously. it isn't farfeched and you know it. i feel sorry for her. between her blogs (which this hoax introduced me to) and this free for all, the number of jerks who feel the need to insult her is mind boggling.

why?

why would any girl want to blog here if she had to put up with this? or even blog period? are all indian men so cowardly (no email address or website) and mysogynist?

zzz, I'd like you to look up two words: (1) facetious (2) curmudgeon

Oh wait. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you should go investigate these words. Let me come back down to Earth.

zzz: Sorry, Sepia Mutiny requires readers with a good sense of humor. Thank you, come again.

By the way, you may have won ten million dollars.

It is truly unfortunate that you expected your readers to “investigate” and “ask questions.” If you think that the lives of your readers revolve around the likes of this blog, you are sadly mistake. Most people would not take any extra time out of their day to “investigate” a hackeneyed April Fools’ Joke. Most would simply make a quick comment, as is obvious from the comments above. You are not any more important than any of the rest of us. Get off your high horse and come back down to Earth, please.

Didn’t fool me for a bit (after I read the comments and realized the date that is) You didn’t mention anything about Apul’s comedy show in your update… hmmm, spill the beans!

Hmm. Did you guys really stop Sepia mutiny? Because, I dont see any indication of this in the previous post - no sign that we are growing tired of all the blogging etc. I dont see any indication of this in any of the contributors' blogs either?

So what happened? !!
