Fiery 50s A truly black ‘n’ white era, the 1950s was a time of recovery. While the world was licking its WW-II wounds, India had just gotten used to the idea of freedom.

hmmm...lovers' tiff?

Rohit's comment betrays a certain frigidity. You should have said : "you write beautifully, but isn't the page, the whole prospect, a little hard on the eyes? will you change please?" :)
ReplyDelete:) sure... I will
ReplyDeletehow do you bring on the smile symbol? :-) -- like this?
ReplyDelete:) yea .. hope u wud like this layout
ReplyDeleteyou can be more colourful. bring in a little more brightness, contrast and that subtle sense of aesthetics that only you young people know how to bring.

ReplyDeleteThanks for changing the design.
@ Venugopal sir.
Sir, i am not good in expressing things. Sometimes it changes the real meaning i know but i am working hard on this.
Sometimes i miss the soul of the poem too, i know thats bad but what to do.
I am reading more and more to understand the art and gain.
Thats why i am not commenting regularly.
Thanks for taking a note on the comment.
Regards
Rohit
