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...

Chatting up with a private blogger #8

For several of us, blogging through the years, blogs become a part of not only our lives, but also a reservoir of our memories and thoughts. Not surprisingly, many bloggers choose to keep their blogs on a private mode. Where only few selected people, are invited to peep into the particular person's life and mind.



I think, this is one of the most positive features on blogger as I have never seen such privacy settings on blogs hosted by other websites. Anyway, coming to the point, I caught up with a friend of mine, who also happens to be a secretive blogger. She very kindly gave away some minutes out of her busy schedule to answer questions for Blog Orangy. Read on:




Tell our readers a bit about yourself:
Nanki Sahota: I'm Nanki
Nanki Sahota: N i have a balanced personality that best defines me

Your favorite website on the internet:
Nanki Sahota: facebook
Nanki Sahota: if it is called a website
Nanki Sahota: coz its a social networking site

Blogging as a medium is often used for venting out ire, grudges, narration of love and heart breaks and sad romantic tales. comment.


Nanki Sahota: it indeed is
Nanki Sahota: i use my own blog for the same purpose
Some words for our readers please:
Nanki Sahota: in life
Nanki Sahota: one needs to be an optimist
Some words about your blog/ blogs.
Nanki Sahota: they are so much a part of me
Nanki Sahota: well
Nanki Sahota: my life story
Nanki Sahota: is my blog
Every blogger has his/her story, what is yours?
Nanki Sahota: my blog has my life history in it
______________________________________________________________
So that was it. Bloggers around me, often get entangled in what is called a writer's block. I am seldom affected by it. For blogging is not just about writing blogs and responding to comments, it is also about discovering new blogs and browsing the ones in our bookmarks list. So when I am not writing here, I am browsing someplace else. And sooner or later some idea kicks in.
One of the most refreshing blogs I have discovered in past days is [M]^2. It has a wonderful ambiance, a very interesting header and plainly one of the best personal blogs I have ever been to. Great work done their by blogger Mindy.



Take care folks!

Happy Blogging!

"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...
