After all this talk about Kaavya's plagairism, I was wondering if anyone's ever looked at other YA/teen books to see if they have similar words and phrases, too? If there isn't any at all, then obviously Kaavya either intentionally or unintentionally lifted words from other books. But it would be interesting to put other authors under the same scrutiny - looking for similarities - and seeing if we come up with anything. I reserve judgment until then.

On a slightly related note, I googled "wants to be made into," which is one of the later phrases that Kaavya supposedly copied (but insert animal wants to be made into insert product... obviously my memory is not as good as Kaavya's)... And PETA uses that exact same phrase on its website (animals don't want to be made into insert product). So who's copying whom? Is it actually plagairism when multiple authors use the same phrase?

I'm not trying to justify Kaavya entirely, or take a stance on whether what she did was intentional, but in light of all these later similarities I wonder if other authors would also be caught "plagairizing" under such intense scrutiny.

to all desis who support her - tell me, how many passages in your resume are copied verbatim from others' resume? how many years have you added in fake 'experience' ? how much $$$ have you made from such 'creativeness' ?

Now we know why you think she's fine. helps that she's cute for a desi, too.

some of us would like to think that honesty and ethics and the like still are not entirely lost in this world. Not that desis are not trying..

Further to 161#,

For me KV is guilty as hell of lifting out passages.

PS By the way I never said that KV is not an "intentional" plagiarist, I said your analysis in incomplete which is different.

I don't mind insults, but please do make an effort to read the whole damn comment before you dish out your excreta on me.
