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...

..welcome..

I am doing something..which i guess Tushar generally does..which is to welcome the new members of this blog,and give their introductions..in brief.
But I am doing it..afcourse for a reason..

Tushar..the owner of this blog..has spent a huge amount of time..in welcoming and introducing all the members of this blog..which should be surely appreciated by everyone i guess..but unlikely he forgot something very important..which i will do on his behalf,,is to introduce him...to everyone..

Well Tushar is a person who has always inspired me..always..his words filled with kindness..his matured talks..his ideas..all are like simply out of this world.He being aged 20 yrs...doing BBA..currently in 2ND yr..in Ludiana..his hometown..has always tried his level best to forward his hand for help to not only his friends but even his enemies.If someone will ask me..is there any person on this planet..who is not selfish..??..who first thinks about others and then about he himself ??..and i will proudly say..yes..i know such a person..its Tushar..and I'm really proud that i ve got this great great opportunity to be friends with him..and share such a nice relationship or i should say a wonderful bond with him.For me..he defines the words completely Friendship,Family,Care,Concern,love,help..and numerous more that i can list...

He being a voracious reader..has read sooo many books till date..which can like shock even the greatest of the readers.He has a dream to make his own library..for the sake of humanity..an idea..which i salute..because i know how pure his heart is...how pure his soul is..

This being his forth blog..a time absorber afcourse..but still he manages..(i wonder how)..just thinking about the dream he has seen since his childhood to spread knowledge all across the globe..he goes on and on...and on and on..

I guess not only we should proudly welcome him to this blog..his own blog actually..but also thank him for such good thoughts of humanity with which his mind is filled withh...

I sometimes wonder..what good work i must have done..in those years which have gone by..that i got such a wonderful person..as my best friend..;-)

In the end..i would like to sum up by saying..that Tushar..we all with you..in this mission of yours..you are no more single..we are plural now..ok..im sorry for these wierd words..lol..but we are here..ALWAYS..for you..your mission..and anytime you need help..ill be there for you :-)

Yeah, Pankhuri, this is the right way to go!
Tushar knows us, but we didn't know him that well.

Inspector Sharma-India salutes you

Its a sad day for the nation as it bids the final farewell to Delhi police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma. He died on Friday in an encounter with the terrorists who were involved in the Delhi bomb blasts. The nation could've rejoiced today with the successful operation of killing 2 terrorists and nabbing one, if not for the painful loss of this brave soul. He was the first one to enter the building where the terrorists were said to be hiding. Just think of the courage displayed by this man in the hour of need. As he knocked on the door, he heard some commotion going on inside. So he went inside through another door and was shot at. His team members swung into action after this and it was all over in the blink of an eye. Though he was taken to the hospital, Sharma succumbed to his injuries soon. He was a tough cop who has taken part in many successful encounters and brought laurels to the Delhi police force, but sadly this one proved his last. The terrorists who were killed were not m...

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...
