A Writer Never Gives Up !
Much of January has passed and I’ve seriously not had an opportunity to concentrate on my writing. Blame it on the circumstances at work (with the examination season in full bloom and with piles of assignments on my desk to check). My birthday too […]
To Mail Or Not To Mail

The One Line Wonder !
Decided to activate my Facebook account temporally in order to convey my holiday greetings to near and dear ones (since most people never reply to my emails). I was thus confronted with the usual phenomenon of “the one line wonder” or rather the common […]
