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...

Why blog? 

 ۩ सर्व शकितमते परमात्मने श्री रामाय नमः۩
Found this at bookeywookey
1. Do you promote your blog? Not much. A little bit i used to do.
2. How often do you check hits?Never i guess.I don't bother much about them.
3. Do you stick to one topic?No.I have a versatile personality.I like variety.
4. Who knows that you have a blog? No ideas.Many known people are aware that i blog,and some unknown too.
5. How many blogs do you read? Many.Its a very long list.
6. Are you a fast reader? Yups.When it comes to blog reading, i read very fast, as i have to read a great number of blogs at a go.
7. Do you customize your blog or do anything technical? I am not someone who is very very tech savvy. I like my blogs to look very good, so i dwell into the technical details at times.
SO i do it only when a very important need arises.
8. Do you blog anonymously? No.I somehow don't like the idea of blogging anonymously.Many people do, especially the females. I am most comfortable signing with my full name.These are my words, i stand by them, why hide my name???
9. To what extent do you censor yourself? I don't censor myself much.Except when i am breaking one of my own rules.Blogging is all about writing your informal thoughts.If you have to put up a plastic smile and weigh every word you speak, then why blog?why donut we just socialize in a coffee shop with so many friends we can make there??

10. The best thing about blogging? Its a good venting out medium.I can be just myself here.Plus share info about me with people known to me.

Ok, So i pass this one to Sheetal, ANkeita

"My cousin touched me there"

Note: When Tan suggested me to post this here...I gave it a thought. I felt he was right.  yeha I know in the election times ..people would be more inclined to politics. Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat...

Satyameva Jayate - Free speech

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...
