Last Friday's Punjabi Playa's Guide caused quite a stir. I received a total of 35 compliments and six angry emails as of this posting. My editor received furious calls with threats including police action. Here are the angry responses:
Let me know what you think.

Punjabi Playa or Punjabi PRICK?!!!
Dear Mr 'Too cool for School'
I read your article this morning, I'm sure no need to remind you which one...I'm a punjabi girl, 21 years old,live in Bangkok.. studying abroad and here's what my sister and I have to say..
your article should be called
'A guide to become a desperate creep' ...or actually ' The punjabi prick's guide to act fowl' By the way people following your advice would only get desperate girls and uneducated ones hanging on their rms...that's if they're stupid enough to take your article seriously..
This world has moved on...no more sexist shits!!you obviously haven;t..either that or just grow up!!!!
People reading your article would just laugh at you or feel sorry for you if that's the life you've lead.
oh and by the way...I've been studying in the UK for 10 years..I still wouldn't find those guys with stupid oneliners and namphrik crap attractive or cool let alone..'normal' ! hopefully no boys have read your article and thought 'ohh great advice'! we dont need anymore desperate men running around thinking they're all that..n btw they're the saddest of all people..
Hopefully you're not one of them...good luck to you

Some people manage to see good things from a bunch of bad. Nonetheless, not all people are bad.
I am not wise nor smart enough to observe whether one is judged upon intention or result, upon article or over feedback, but I do believe people can sense character, and some people manage to see good things from bad.
The great Mark Twain had many critics too.
Moby Dick got shot down in flames so badly it took 50 years before it became a classic.
Keep Writing!! It will make sense to all those don't understand it yet.
Hopefully they'll some how find their sense of humor.
We are with you on this brutha... Keep on writin', writer! All don't have the intellect and sense of humor to appreciate your article. The truth will set you free..
dude, i think some people missed the whole point of the article..my lay man's psycho babble analysis is that these guys/girls who are offended are basically insecure of their 'indian-ness' and the way to be "indian" is viewed by other nationalities... in todays global village there is actually no "indian",no "siamese" or no "farang" for that matter..
also, to bring things out in the open and to be able to laugh at it, especially your self, is actually very therapeutic and healthy...(enough psycho babble) ..write-on, brother..
haha some ppl have no sense of humor.
i know kittima. u must have just caught her on a bad day. 0:p
looking forward to what uve got for us tmrw.
keep writing dude. you got your fans, the rest is just good publicity for future articles.
"and hey btw the zee tv has more sense than thai tv .... with all those nonsense screamings & servants role !!!" ..... did i read what i just read?? hahahahahhah no shit ... so hours of crying and whining about a daughter in law or vice versa... without ruining make-up is PERFECT sense eh ?? haha .. hahahahah
lolllll
"and about the long hair with the vatika oil i think your sister is the only indians using it in thailand or your mom still forced your dad to put it on his hair.....HELLLLL00000 it wud me more appropriate if you could just say baby johnson oil !!!!!"
