An Acrostic and A Milestone


A writer can only

Hope for people to read and
Understand what she writes.
Nevertheless, it gives a very
Definite high when she
Realizes that
Every single silly thing she writes
Does manage to find a

Few people who think it’s interesting,
Or funny, or sad, or
Lovely, or outrageous, or plain
Ludicrous. So today, this writer,
Overwhelmed by her
Wonderful fortune in finding such an
Eclectic, weird and fun bunch of
Readers, would like to
Step down and bow in gratitude.

Mahesh Sindbandge said...

Hmmmm..Congratulations to you on having 100 followers...


few corrections.....

The baseline of this post was you but it was also a post on writers right..?

So if i m being logical..change she to he/she, so that we guys can relate with it better....:)

hope i am making sense..:P

from followers...you reminded me...Your favor is still pending amritorupa....

See i still remember your name and i pronounce it well...:P

I changed my template..you must be able to read the "text" of the post now..just have a check on it....


Cheers

Quaint Murmur said...

I have a grand total of six followers, but then if we are comparing writing skills and talent, you are in a whole different league, madam.

Indeed, it is us who should bow in gratitude- the reading material is what makes the reader :)

Neat!!!

I have never tried an acrostic. And you are tempting me to give it a shot!

Warm felicitations on the milestone, Amritorupa! Richly deserved.

Here's wishing that your thoughts never run dry.

Keep writing. Spread the voice.

Peace.

Ketan said...

Funny and creative!

SUBHADIP said...

Incredible..tui sabda niye khela koris..

SSQuo said...

Nicely done!

Congratulations on 100, and many many more.

muthu said...

a nice acrostic....

but u really wanna know what i really thought..

nice words framing but really i thought that it lacked a certain depth yaar... (sorry but that thoughts jus me... no use when not expressed right??)

and no i don't believe in numbers.. I say if i have just one person who really loves what i dish out, i can keep on going.

it s never abt the no. It always abt the quality of the person who appreciates u...

any1 can get a thousand followers. nut good friends are hard to come by.

people who tell things as they feel right without the usual "it was nice" are hard 2 come by.

and i really cherish those frds. take pleasure in knowing them it makes my day.

cheers.
