This is not the first time I have updated a normal status message that people have made controversial, ego issue or taken personally. Well, I am quite used to it by now; bu don't you think I am entitled to my opinion?</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >The status message point is a small one. In fact I quite enjoy the comments I get on those - they are witty, provoking, irritating, aggressive as well as interesting. Each one expresses one's own opinion. That's democracy right? Then why are we questioned for updating what we want to?</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >We all express our opinion different ways. sometimes through status messages, sometimes through a post and sometimes through comments. But these days we mistake opinion with bashing. I am merely a year old on blogger, but it is a well known fact around that if you write a post about your opinion, people will take it personally and bash you left-right-center.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >The irony is that many people do not even bother to read what you have written! They will read the first few lines, last few lines and couple of comments; that's all. and they fight with you for the point you have not even mentioned indirectly or minutely!</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >I can link ten such posts here - mine and others' - whereby the author has been given free advice he/she never even asked for. But this place is purely for the purpose of kicking ass rather than giving free publicity to anybody.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >Most of the times, people give their opinion on about something which is not their genre or field. I blog because I want your feedback; I blog because I am ready to take appreciation as well as criticism; but I do not blog to take your frustration. If you do not like my opinion; either you should not leave a comment there or unleash your anger on your blog rather than provoking my regular readers or shooing them away!</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >There are times when people comment negative on others' opinion and blast them in the case where either their ego is hurt due to the brutal honesty published by the author; or they are guilty of the crime. If you fit into none of these categories; then simply comment why you agree or disagree. You have no right to comment on one's credibility at all.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >And those personal comments! People do not like personal questions being asked to them; but they will always try to know what are your vacation plans, how many kids you have, when did you have a break up etc. all.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >Now after reading this post; they will say why do I blog if I cannot tolerate their comments? Well, this post is not about me at all. It is my general observation. By grace of God, I have been blessed with wonderful readers who read my blog and leave a "normal" comment. But I know a few people who write normal stuff, but they get s#!t comments on their simple posts.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >I wish bloggers would at least read the post first rather than reading first or last line only. Don't believe me? Then check my latest post - Taking Shortcuts! You will find many people commenting only on the last line. What do you think about those?</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >PS: Hope you guys do read this post entirely rather than reading this post script first and then the last paragraph.

So I write my name as Guria instead of Gudia; I say Parai instead of Padhai (even if it changes the meaning completely), chor instead of Chhod etc. Etc. My second secret: I do not understand Hindi Genders – kya male hai and kya female hai muje nahi samaj aati hai. Mera hindi thoda si weak hai.

This way lured into the quagmire, people will have the fleeting chance to like this blog before they publicly forsake, and then secretly visit this place! </span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think of myself like a budding story-writer (of course, subject to a story line that for some reason strikes others' minds before it does mine). Though very honestly, I am a better editor (shining examples of which you haven't really seen), I'm passable when it comes to narrating. But I believe I'm a very good critic, in the positive sense of the word, who can apreciate an effort behind a piece. I'm a dumbo when it comes to controversial topics, my first impulse is always finding loopholes (even though I'm not the lawyer here) and refuting. But fiction I appreciate in its true form.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">By true form I mean the power of the writer to make his reader feel the protagonist's feelings, and see with ultimate clarity in everything that unfolds. A writer who can make the reader savour every word, wanting to move slowly through the lines, yet fast, and go back to the beginning once you finish it. </span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A story I believe should not be judged by "Wow, I didn't guess the ending!! Whatta twist! Clap! Clap! Clap!" but by how beautifully one can tell a story however old, however </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">clichéd</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">, however 'predictable', that will ensnare the reader completely into living the story.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course all said and done, one needs to have a reader who also will possess or even understand these attributes to ultimately appreciate a piece, not for its storyline (which can be any damn thing, copied, emulated or not) but the ability to spin and create. And such readers are sadly few and far between. People read too much and appreciate less. My opinion.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did I make sense? Well, even if I didn't I can tell you some of these amazing blogger-writers who are amateurs, by the definition of the word, but could successfully do a career-swap if they really have the drive. These are the writers whom I am calling the Ultimate FictioNistas!</span></span><br />

</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Harsha as I know him is one writer who transforms the ordinary to the the brilliantly extraordinary, though he says, "...there's the extraordinary in every ordinary..." but it does take a brilliant writer to really be able to see that, find that and make the readers see it as well. The best part about his writing is that he uses simple yet profound words which has more impact, more weightage than all with all the big, fashionable I-know-English words put together. His simplicity and his gift of description that recreates the mundane, changes the outlook not only of the casual reader, but a writer who happens to read too. That fiction can be wrote with such a soft yet realistic touch with an astounding fluency can be understood only from reading Harsha. Not one scared to try out new and various forms of fiction, he rediscovers new styles and ways of writing, also different experiences in reading. I read Harsha's with an awe, that how beautifully the simple can be made majestic and engrossing. He teaches to look at the surroundings in a whole new light, a master at narration, Harsha is a writer unsurpassed and much of a favourite.</span></span><br />

</blockquote><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This one person is an ideal among the writers all of us know. (I'd like to be like him, when I grow up) He's got an unparalleled magnetism in what he writes that compels you to leisure over the lines, roll them over in your mind, savour the earthy feeling it elicits while it urges you to move forward faster to experience the unfurling of the mystique created by his words. He is one writer I believe who has never been told, "I guessed the ending", because reading Madhu is never about the destination alone, the journey that he lays out is itself so mesmerizing that every word from the first to last creates an impact, drowning the reader in each and every emotion that he wants the reader to feel. Often, I can say for myself, I've felt at the end of one of his stories, for the magic to go on, ruing the fact that I went through faster than I would have wanted, and am compelled to read a few more times, just to live the story once again before I can leave a coherent, but not eloquent enough, word or two to Madhu. He is one writer who can actually put a pause in your stride and make you reflect. He's my most favourite writer in all of Blogosphere. </span></span><br />

</blockquote><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When I read a blog, just like most (not all) of us, I obviously read the latest posts. This was one blog whose one post led me to read the next and then the next and so on. If one had this much power to fascinate and captivate, that I felt I needed to read more, still more. Karthik has a way of engaging the reader not only with the execution of the plot but with a narration that keeps you hooked and rooted. He makes you think, makes you wonder. Human emotions, unveiled yet hidden between the words, human reactions that crop up from those very emotions make Karthik a realistic yet fantastic writer. He writes fiction coloured with the real, and sprinkled with veiled but imminent idealism. His fiction also holds a magic of a kind, a magic of re-creating the known as the new, and each new piece brings more and better narration and presentation from a learning writer for the reader, who could also learn as much. Karthik is my latest addition to the "I-Am-Obsessed" reading list.</span></span><br />

</blockquote><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stephen as the Solitary Writer is a misnomer, for no one 'solitary' can depict human thoughts and human passions so well without being amidst them. But maybe 'solitary' </span><i><span style="font-size: medium;">is </span></i><span style="font-size: medium;">the right adjective to describe him, the flow and the fluency that he writes with, in the phases when he submerges into his story, when he's just The Writer and nothing else. Another one of the well-loved and appreciated Fictionistas, Stephen converts lives and their true stories into his masterpieces of fiction that can entwine the reader into feeling and thinking every single word that every character experienced in the piece. More than narration, description or presentation, Stephen's pens churns out a down-to-earth portrayal of human fallacies and honesty, along with an underlying trove of feelings, expressing outrage or faith accordingly. Stephen's is a fun read but often, it is a read that expresses another facet of the myriad colours of the world. Another one of my favourites, inspite of the black background! </span></span><br />

</blockquote><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This young guy loves to shock, but he sure does it in style. A guy more matured than his years (and mine too), he literally shows the other view of the world, sometimes disparaging, sometimes vibrant and heartening. He is a strong, courageous character-writer who lets his pen do the talking, ripping and shredding and illuminate. But views apart (since that is an individual choice) his fictions are marked with an illustration with words. Narration and presentation rolled into one giant snowball it can crush you under its weight or take you with it on its exciting and provoking journey. A thinker-writer, his work persuades one to introspect into realms that one rarely traverses into by himself. A blog with the most apt name, Pawan shifts from more the well-travelled road down to the broken dirt road to view from that other perspective what this life and this world actually is. He comes across as one of the most intense writers and one of my major favoutites because of his dedication and involvement in his creations, that makes him unforgettable.</span></span><br />

</blockquote></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This lady can write! Fiction is one of her many talents that she excels at. Every fiction is different, crammed with unique and profound thoughts. A vibrant writer, I experience a sense of mystery when I read her, a mysterious magic that she creates and solves making you think, but in the most off-hand manner. Even if one is not a thinker, reading her soothes one's senses with the wonderful description and transports into a world of beauty created by her pen alone. She is deeply insightful when she wants to be, and just a fictionist at other times, but always carries you forward through the ups and downs of her story in the most fascinating ride. Her use of words, her depiction spread out a new experience altogether that I never can't resist delving in. Add to that her ideology which is simple but assured and clear cut. Her fictions make an impact, her descriptions lure one in, and her plots engross. She is another fictionist I read, whom I can't resist. </span></span><br />

She is a terrible fictionist, who cannot write worth anything, everyone is better than her, and I must have been out of mind to write about her among The Fictionistas or so she says; I say, Neha is one of the best around, she knows how to cast a spell over her readers with her charm, her wit and her strong grip over her story, she is not one who cares about where she wants to end up but knows what she wants to achieve; and what she achieves is an addiction to her style of writing, presentation and portrayal of incidents and characters and of course, a pretty fast growing readership. This third sentence is not in the deal, but I can always tell out loud that I love the fiction she writes!</span></span><br />

We do need you around sir as you are ossumly wuu huu!<br /><br />People (now I am addressing all of you), if you are on facebook; you would be aware about the "Like" option there whereby you can simply click it if you find a post, a status or an application likable or amusing. but certain Mr. </span><a href="http://www.friedeye.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">PB</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"> has a discriminating opinion about it. He claims that girls keep pressing the "like" button everywhere! Ummmm, our punching bag has a competition here. Why? Well, as per this PB Theory, whoever presses the like button is a girl! Do we have another set of dudettes in making guys?<br /><br />But meri tragedy dekhiye! I am supposed to be the good author here - the white one; and G is the evil - the Black one and our very own </span><a href="http://h3donist.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Crap Master</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"> (CM) is balancing us with his Grey cells!

We at KickAss are a bit slow and too lazy to come up with a new post very frequently. But whenever we do, we assure you that you will for sure pray that our laziness should get extended for lifetime. At least one person after reading this post title will surely think so. And he will abandon KickAss forever after reading this post. Quite a few of you would have understood whom I am talking about. For the rest let me introduce you to <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.sidoscope.co.in/">Sid aka Ravan</a></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" > - our Hero for this post for now.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br />Ravan always has all the latest news and info about the happenings in the blogsphere.

Now this time, he has come up with an image, and the blog-a-tonics have to come up with a post keeping in mind the theme of that image.

Errrrrr, should i warn you guys first? OK, read this post only if you have the guts to face what most of you; or rather us are! So many times few of us have written indirect and sarcastic posts on bloggers; but we still see them coming back to us. They are slightly dumb to get the point as they fail to understand our sarcastic tone. Oh am I sounding rude? Well at least this time you have got it right. So I am hoping that you get the post too and find out (if I am so fortunate) which category you belong to and try to change (I know, I have got high hopes about you!).<br /><br />One important thing I would like to add - I am not going to categorize anybody on the basis of how good or bad they write. The intentions are just to mention about those bloggers who do not preach what they practice!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;color:red;" >Not at all wanted nutters</span> - We all have them around us! They are usually hidden under the covers of "Anonymous" identity. You give them one opportunity, and they will attack you from all the possible angles; whether relevant or not. If your post is about how pretty the girls are or how to patao them, and the reader happens to be a gay; then he will abuse you left right center under anonymous identity! Phew, chill dude or dudette whoever; give yourself and us a break! Chill! If I have the guts to post straight things; then why are you hiding yours?Oh by the way; here at KickAss, we have a policy - we will not publish anonymous comments. So don't waste your time and our space please!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;color:red;" >Showing off ones</span> - You will find these people always talking about brands! No no, not about their knowledge about those brands; but what all brands they own; what cars they drive, where all they travel and how etc. etc. In short, they are the most conceited creatures around blogsphere (no offense meant Mr. Hedonist!). So people, I don't care if you own a Louis Vuitton bag or a Cross Pen, Mercedes Benz or a Ferrari (contact me if you own this car; I am ready to be adopted); but do not disclose such things on your blog! Nobody is interested in reading those things.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;color:red;" >Crazy for Comments</span> - These people will die of a shock if there are less than 20 comments on their post after 24 hours of posting it. They panic, they rant, they force others to comment, they sulk if you don't and what not. All they need is numbers. They write same kind of stuff each time; they even expect same kind of praises each time. If you criticize them, they will sulk even more! So people, just post good comments about them and you have a sure shot nagging follower forever!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;color:red;" >"I don't know what are you talking about" ones </span>- Well i didn't feel like using the term dumb here; as they never admit that they are dumb. But these people do not understand the simplest form of a post. Most of the time, they will leave a question mark, or they will take your funny post seriously, they will take your sarcastic remark as a compliment and in the end, you look like a fool!<br /><br />Well people, here at KickAss, we have decided to kick the ass of people who bother us, but writing it down has been worse than getting our ass kicked; for I had to praise them all over again! And this is a sarcastic remark guys. Hope you have understood it this time!<br /><br /><b>N.B.</b> You are welcome to wonder which category houses the talented proprietors of this blog, and are allowed to think aloud too. But whether it is advisable to do so... don't ask me!<br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/397/09956F94819176BA865B7FFA6AC33E6C.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254636386739183947.post-80668973939872821252009-12-23T11:40:00.000+05:302009-12-24T18:54:19.068+05:30Not so Complimentary!<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:BX3t1ut-gHuCrM:http://blogs.csuchico.edu/tlp/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/project-ng.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="106" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:BX3t1ut-gHuCrM:http://blogs.csuchico.edu/tlp/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/project-ng.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

Well it has been quite a few days since we started this blog, but the first post was not getting kick started for a long time. And the co-author of this blog has been hiding under the covers claiming she is going through the so called writer's blog! Will anybody in one's right mind believe that? But why am I mentioning here here? Well the reason behind this post is indeed Guria. Well read on and find out!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I am sure most of you love compliments; people commenting on your clothes, accessories, features, height and what not! After receiving all those compliments, how confident we become, right? Ah! wish it worked with me too the same way. I am pathetic at taking compliments. They embarrass me so much that I wish, <em><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">"kash abhi ye dharti fat jaaye aur me usme sama jau"</span></em>! Too cliched but so very true for me.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">It so happens that G always showers me with compliments! I am damn sure she was madly in love with me in our last birth. I would have been a flirt, usko dhoka diya hoga and in this birth she is taking a revenge on me! Why revenge? For she very well knows how pathetic I am at taking compliments, how much they trouble me, how I run to hide from them. But she still does not stop!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Now since this morning, G has started a new wish-list on her fan page. And her first wish is:<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"> If I were a man........ #1 I'd wish Neti was not married ;)</span><br /><br />Actually, I want to thank god for her block; if not for the block, she would have written a whole post on this!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I think it all seems pretty odd to you guys na, that I don't like compliments? I can give you a good example for this. Once I had been to a party with my husband. There we met his ex girlfriend. She complimented me saying my husband is a lucky guy as I was his wife. I replied, "<span style="font-style: italic;">Really?</span>"<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Poor my husband M; he got so embarrassed, leaving me even more embarrassed! So please people*, stop throwing your compliments at me. Shoot me if you hate me so much, but please spare me from this!<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* People = G<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/389/5AB48CA24F741D6B13458222C572D11F.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4
