There is a certain 'leftist' who leaves me awe-struck after every line he pens down. There is a certain big-'Bang' who writes just like he is - superb. There is a 'princess' who likes to write "not not" to please someone, but for herself. There is a Shakespeare incarnate who pours his heart out, leaving me gaping at his excellence. There is a certain 'Pee-Gee' who is dyslexic (read: spellings) but I am yet to come across a wittier, yet mellow, writer. There is another 'ET' who is great and I always try, I repeat, try to emulate him. But alas, I fail miserably. There is a pseudo 'Frenchman' who writes as if words are his monopoly and his style.. commenting on it would be doing injustice to literature. Yet another 'wrestler' namesake who is a wonderful human being, and whose writings are nothing short of precious gems.
It is rather very quaint how people influence you to such a great extent. And I am glad that they have. It has made me a better writer (I'd like to take the liberty of concluding thus), a more aware individual and an evolved person.
So just a plain-simple thank you folks! Saying anything more is going to ruin it. And that's the last thing I want.
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI often come across a post and wonder why I didn't think of it first. This post is one of those.
This just made my day, Shrey! Thanks a billion, or even more!
ReplyDeleteAs Banja has already said, one of those posts... Everyone has these substantial others who influence everything about them; very significantly the way they write. Thanks! (I still take serious offence at that name)
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't fit into the list (especially with the 'widely acknowledged for their brilliance' parameter). Will take whatever I get, though :)
ReplyDeleteYou are an Extra Terrestrial, Anirudh! And get moving now.. Thanks in return!
ReplyDeleteAnd Murty, you fit in very well. Didn't you spot yourself already in the list?
DYSLEXIC!!! OMG, i was just sleep-deprived that day!
ReplyDeletebut brilliant post anunaya. effusive and oozy enough to be your Farewell Post. only kidding!
Thanks a lot Anunaya but you know how I am almost smiling with an embarrassed look in my eyes as I read this post. You've been way too generous when you put me into that list.
ReplyDeleteYou are forbidden from saying Pink Floyd and Linkin Park in the same breath, like I just did. But again, thanks a lot :)
Farewell? No No.. not in a million years Prachi!
ReplyDeleteAnd Vikesh, stop being overly modest!
Man, thanx for featuring me on the web.
ReplyDeletebesides theres some grammatical/ formattign error there. Is this what you meant (coz it makes more sense) :
There is a 'princess' who likes to write "not not" NOT to please someone, but for herself.
Unlike others, i HAD thought such a thought before.. but i failed to think of writing it first !!! :)
are u still hibernating?
Okay.. too many NOTs spoil the blog. Lesson learnt! :)
ReplyDeleteRemember the 'plan' for next week, don't you?
