Grammar

Author's note

Hello,

can any of the moderater's plz suggest improvement or alterations. This is going to be published soon.

It was during my passage to India, while drinking cocktails and eating massala dosas with the Beatles that I first conceived the idea writing an idiot’s guide to spoken Hindi. Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking and unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book. I think I may boast myself to be, with all possible vanity, the most unlearned person who ever dared to be an author.
To find a tranquil and quiet place to write my magnum opus, I searched for a place where the hand of man has never set foot. Eventually, I settled for the exotic location of Puri, a little known seaside town on the east coast of India brought to my attention by an Indian travel poster which explains: This is the best resort for anyone who wants peace and solitude. Millions flock here from all over the world in search of such quiet.
I spent many hours writing this book, at the same time indulging in the local dishes to get the flavor of the text.
“I hope it will not be too spicy for the readers.”

Thanks in advance

Hi, you write very well. Excuse me for being flippant in a previous post. May I ask you to consider whether you intend to submit this for publishing?

Interesting. Is the general effect of your use of words and rhythms as important to you as correct grammar? You write very well indeed.

This sounds very interesting: "For those
with a munchie attack, the food in Puri is probably the best in India.". Are you terribly comfortable? Well, I hope you have a wonderful time and make great strides, hand in foot with your quirky imagination! Keep throwing in those subtle absurdities!
