Hi Smita! It's been so long since I've been on IF, but the first thing I did was track you down and read everything you have written in the past, literally, few months!
I spent a few days just reading and reading and reading. I can honestly not get enough of our words. You etch such beautiful stories with that magic hand of yours!
I love how there are never lose ends, how each character has their role and their importance, how every single thing you write plays into the story somehow so perfectly!
As I read I am left awestruck with the variety of tales you have given us. Not a single one mingling with another, each story is it's own! How you can bring to justice to each story is brilliant!
I really really hope that I will be more of a regular commentor from now on! I just can't keep myself away! Ugh, I am running out of words, but I have a few quotes running through my mind for you!
"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though." - The Catcher in the Rye.
"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer." - Ernest Hemingway.
