No! Don't prejudge the story by the cover. (Though this is the most appropriate and best one.) No! You need not like what I am saying. No! You need not agree with me. And ... No! You need not criticise my work. Of course, you can critically analyse my work. But, since I am not rude to any of you, since we don't hold personal grudges against each other, since I am just trying to express my views in a very friendly manner; you too need not be rude to me. If you do not like what I am trying to tell, you can definitely stop reading at that moment. If you want to share something or correct me, you can definitely do it, since I love learning. I humbly accept the truth that I know nothing. But whatever tiny piece of extra work my tiny brain does, I try to put it out in this huge world.Complete
