                  Satire is an antique concept in human society. Satirical literature is very much important for literature as a whole. A satire supporter states that the satire in oral form or satirical literature nails the issue in the head subversively. Satirist highlights the important issues humorously through oral satire or satirical literature and explodes deeper. Another supporter of satire and satire literature states that the satire is very fine and delicate instrument.  A supporting view on oral satire and satirical literature is that satire may ease the tension. A blogger names to the oral satire and satire literature as lovely firearm.

                          Chitthi (Garh Aina, 27/2/1990) by   Bhishma Kukreti is the proof that satire is an important aspect of every language literature. Food requires salt and chilies for taste and literature requires satirical literature for completing all the aspects of literature of any language.  

  Chitthi ridicules the letters written by common men and no reply from administration or politicians. Kukreti provides many hilarious examples for importance of   letters in Garhwal and cities by students or other migrated Garhwalis.  One humorous example of Chitthi is that Chanda kaka was writing letter on behalf of Sarala Bhabhi and on the courtyard; women were singing the songs of a woman teasing her husband very badly. Chanda kaka wrote the songs and its theme in the letter. There is disaster when the letter reaches to husband of Sarala Bhabhi.
