Could you be a bit more clear.

You wrote something that was published in papers?

who sent you the note about human traficking?

what kind of "better comments" should we "throw" at him and why?

Sorry I was not a bit clear. i regularly surf Zeotroupe
as I am a screenwriter. In the forum discussion
they spoke about Obama mania . Actually this thread was about
Obama , When I wrote about how our media loves Obama
one guy started taking about Human trafficking .
About how India deals with human traffic . I just got a bit taken up
and i said that we are not doing anything about terrorism
though we know who is responsible for it . I just want a fitting reply
