First I get this e-mail from one of my dearest friends. The guy works in London and he wrote that he’s planning a trip to Spain in the coming weeks. Well, he’s already been to Denmark, Italy, France and Belgium(I think!). Isn’t too deterred by the blasts, I think… Grrr!
Got an e-mail from the Sulekha editor that they can’t publish my article.. ‘Author has potential but needs to work on a plot…’ and some other stuff. Wise Pinch suggested that we should look through the award-winning entry and find out what they mean by good writing. He also added that most authors in the world get rejected in the early stages of their career. Waah! Kaise heere se shaadi kiya hain maine!!!
GrOUCH!

Pinch Pinch ?
Well, since your friend has a ‘Schengen visa’, he might as well make he most of it.
I, on the other hand, am in a ‘Schengen state’, so ‘kabhi bhi chale jaayenge’ waala chakkar hai …..
Felt like pinching Pinch, i bet :-p !!

Hey I didn’t know that you wrote…as in professionally. That’s cool. You’re giving me ideas now. I’ve always wanted to but never got down to doing it. So what kind of articles do you write? And btw, Pinch is right, so chill! All writers go through writer’s block too so you could just attribute it to that! Cheers to more writing!
