Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

JabberWocky

No.36
Well,I told before at this blog that i maintain a huge database of blog addresses[ More then 1000 at a time].After telling the story of an eternal dreamer, i had this urge to pick up a special blog,something exciting,knowledge full and informative, like jan's was.But her blog was just a year old.A seasoned,time tested,stylish,and bag loads of information and knowledge.Thats what I needed in a blog to spice up this series. After sifting through hundreds of blogs on my database.I saw this name freakuency or something.SO thats how i landed up on jabberwocky. There was a disclaimer,which i hadn't read on a previous visit.It reads,"do not read if you have a week heart or if you are repulsed my genx or both.thank you".Readers note this please.On my part,i have a fine heart[though it breaks very fast :P ] but on the second condition well,i simple think of the next genration behind us as wastage of a great life they are getting [Most of them are wasting thier life *Sigh*Tshhar mangal at 20 is getting very old hehe]
So I check out the profile of the author instead of going through her blogs.Its interesting,but i just care for the books section,check down the list in detail,satisfied,she will write the kind of blog, i wish to review,i decide to read it all.
Details first
Blog title - jabberwocky [It sounds great]
Blog URL - http://freak-uency.blogspot.com [ Another great imagination of the author]
Blog Author - shayeri [ personally,after reading this blog,i wondered,why she couldnt have thought of a better pseudo name.]
Genre -Personal
Blog Created - Feb,02,2005 [Long time blogging!!!]

A good blog,stylish,chic,very middle class teenage look,a nice template too[ The link list wasn't much useful though].The whole blog shows that attitude young girls are bound to have.The posts are personal,no comments on them.
But the style of writing is superb,its crisp,to the point and expressed with what seems like a good vocabulary and some very good expressions.
Check out these 3 posts, i have picked up,although i had many favorites i chose these 3
1. Of careers,colleges,and 12 year olds [ scroll down this link,3rd post, i chose it because, she had similar feelings, as i had when i was thinking to review the post,young ones young ones hehe]
2.48 and jiving [great one,scroll down this link to the 4th post]
3. Book it [ its a great one,if you like to copy tags,go for it,very informative but the author hasn't done anything to improve the font color,its hard to read, but the strain on your eyes is worth it.]

A good one for female teenage bloggers. Go through it,you will definitely be inspired and enthralled.
Next we will explore the blog,Nicole chocoa heaven,and check out what the Malaysian Lady has in store for us.
Jai Sri Ram!!!

ok wow. :D
it feels great to be reviewed, and that too reviewed in nice terms. thank you tonnes. just when i had a pseudo-writers-block (read laziness that prevents you from putting on a thinking cap and writing something useful), you have yet again inspired me to start writing.
and as for my blogger name, i had something like "insiduous devil" or "devil's advocate" or something a year ago, but then i thought it wasn't chic enough.
toodles.

God bless you :-)

by the way, if there's a blog you want to review, try Megha's. Very aggressive, assertive, feminist, intelligent, rich vocabulary is what describes her.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...

Its Time Folks!!

-> Muthalik's cry against Valentine's Day or his horrific beating of defenseless girls in Mangalore. (disgraceful but i'm sure he was jealous coz he is still a bachelor at that ripe old age) -> Bombings planned by Hindu Religious Leaders and the emergence of "Indian Mujahideen". (stupid fools can think of only violence and even a sadhvi was a part of this. I'm sure each everyone is corrupt. I won't be surprised if they were working for some islamic terrorist group) -> The atrocities against Christianity in Mangalore and Orissa. (Shows that our country's intellectual level is growing in reverse!!) -> Curtailing of pub culture in the Pub City of India. (Again socialistic losers who think they are correct and people should live in only way!! U asses democracy means freeedom of individuals and an individual never lives in the same way as others do!!) -> Rajasthan CM announcing that he will do away with mall culture. (I think he is working fo...
