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...

My Very 1st Post:-)

So finally Gauri Mathur comes in form to rite a post fr Tushar’s blog. :-)
As tis is my 1st post, I wud like to tok on topic wich is in fashion tese days..,is tere sumthn like lov r only infatuation.??
As I don kno wt love is so I cant cum out wid deeper meanings,bt till nw wt life has taught me by knowin various incidences I feel tat love is left far behind, its jus infatuation wich has strengthen his position in todays world. Tese days relationships r on fake terms r v can say temporary basis tat is have a crush on smbdy fr a smtme ,use tat person n jus finished it off…wich is often termed as infatuation at d end.
The most easiest part is to get in to tese kinds f relationships bt mst difficult part is to deal wid d consequences of such relationships, Ppl once heart broken,becomes too hard,cold,,tere perspective changes n becum numb. N wen tis situation arises d situation f depression takes his seat..wich is dangerous.
If v c r envioronment,every ten n nw r frnz cumes up wid d prob tat ,v broke off,,n v r upset ,tat person did tis n al..n v give tem a simple advice of move onn,,n v flash sum beautiful dialogues n finally v r done wid d,,formality of bein frnz ,,n v feel tat its sufficient,,v r done wid r job..
Bt d person wos sufferin knows,,hw it feels wen heart breaks,,n hw long time will b taken to recover frm such a brutal hurt,. N at tat time person feels ters no love only pain n whatever ws it it ws a mistake ,,a infatuation.
Here also persons tinkin doesn end up,,he started gettin pulled off frm relationships..,starts makin boundaries n at d end love theory is vanished n rude,selfish world theory is activated.
I kno tere wud b ppl wo r in serious relationships, n tey must hav a strong believe in tis love part n I really wish loads f gud luk fr tere future n God Bless tem wid same love n tender care in tere relationships, bt tese days majority is f heart broken ppl n its increasing day by day an finally it is resulting in creating a mind set f infatuation n hatred among ppl..n discouraging ppl to get into ny kind f relationships.. wich wil,, at d end nt result in a healthy outcome..
So v ppl shud be bit genuine fr others n help tem nt to form such opinions by takin a a very first step from ourself only tat if v genuinely like sum1,,ten only v shud approach tat person to get into any relationships n should try n carry out it till d end wid full trust,loyalty,care n a genuine love..:-)

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...
