Let me just clarify one quick thing off the bat. I wrote what I did and till date, approve every single comment that people write regarding the post. People don't actually realize that when they write a comment, it is up to moi to decide if it goes up...or not. If I wanted to portray myself and the article to be one that is loved and agreed upon by all, I would have easily deleted the rude, crude, harsh and some even, defamatory comments. However, that is not the case. Every one of those, rude, crude, harsh, defamatory comments have been approved with one exception: ones that attack my family. It's perfectly fine that a lot of Sindhis have felt attacked by my claims. And if that is the problem, then go ahead and make your case. But to all those who have said a number of rather unwarranted comments about my family, well it is exactly those people who have proved my post correct, word for word.
Another reason I refrained from writing follow up is because I would like to see people actually put their money where their mouth is, i.e. their names to their comments. Why is it that everyone has no issues ousting me, my article and even my family but refuse to sign off with their comments with their own good names. I have a bunch of comments signed off with anonymous aliases. I stand by what I write and thus, my name goes right by my post. A renowned author gave me one piece of advice during a conversation. He said, "An anonymous writer is soulless and lacks a conscience. Never discredit yourself from anything you write."
Look, I may have rocked the boat but I'll never look back. So call me all the names you want, "shameless", "jealous" , "judgmental" and the most popular ones making the rounds "possesses the writing talent of a 5th grader" but ultimately, it is me, Roshni, who had the balls to come out and call a spade a spade. And perhaps this is why the article has gone viral. Why you and Sindhis all over the world have read the article. And also why everyone can't resist but keep forwarding it...no?

The reason why people (such as myself) don't give in their names when responding to some of your blog posts is because first of all, people are often looking for jobs a lot of the time and if potential employers choose to Google their names when trying to find out what kind of a person they are before hiring them, an individual wouldn't want to be judged simply based on their opinions on certain issues. Moreover, it's often an anonymous response which has the most truth to it. You might want to consider that and think about what they're saying as opposed to turning a finger on them saying they're wrong for not putting their names next to their opinions. You might as well do so; it's your job. But to point fingers at others for a reason like this is almost as close to baseless (much like this post altogether).
relax and let all comments go up. everyone already knows gummy is a slutty stalker.
wow, how full of herself is this girl? i'm not from hong kong so I can't agree with or refute the allegations of her original post however it's sad her claim to fame is that sindhi bubble article. must be pathetic to go back home and run into her old friends and everyone knows shes a writer but noone can name a single piece she has written except the sindhi piece. for her sake, i hope she does something more memorable in her life than the sindhi bubble post.
(i can say it was written in an insulting tone - she clearly wanted to write to insult so she'd get attention and that people would "forward" it - she could have easily made the same point in a non-insulting non-confrontational tone).
