I just saw your about me' credentials, and came to understand why your write-ups are simply awesome.
Why no word can be' sufficient to do justice to the pennings by you.
You've been a student of English literature from DU.
That answers it all.
Really astounding write-ups.

I came first to this blog around two years back and you know anukriti yours is the only blog i have come across where your words have washed me with peace. I really don't know how shall i put it but genuinely hats off to you gal

As for this post its remarkable...Your photographs are simply amazing and the poem too...

Well Done, My vote for you :)

Hi Anukriti,
I have no words to describe how much I liked this post, so I will just say LOVELY.
I agree - relaxed contemplation in solitude all by yourself is the most enjoyable feeling.

Vikram

Hi Anukriti. I personally take great pleasure in using ornamental language....your words are very well woven.... They taught me a few things; so I go back from here with some mental tips....thanks a lot

Hi miss legend..!!
U know anu my english is not quite well so I express myself in our mothertounge.
Itna he kahunga ki yah anukriti ki ek aur anupam kriti hai.. Jiski jitni tareef ki jay utna hi kam hai..
Samay ki jo avdharna tumne prastut kiya hai wakai prasansneey hai..tasviron ki baat ki jaye to wo apne aap me adwyiteey hai jinme paripurta va paripakkvata ka adbhut samawesh dikhlaayee padta hai.
Best wishes 4 it....!!!

The real pleasure in reading ur posts is really in the snaps that accompany it... Awesumm work! Enjoyed!!!

I lost track of time reading this. It was mesmerizing. You spoke of tranquility. The words you wrote were free and seemed like they floated by me as I read them and just stayed by my side long enough to simply remain, scattered peacefully, and unfading.
I loved your post; one of the best I've read yet.

You started incredibly well, just like an elegantly guided prose.

Two hours is a good time spent, musing of life and what it has to be :)

Aah! Yet another well crafted and worked out post, beautifully done.
I could relate to it at various levels because I spoke on similar lines in mine.
And those photographs inbetween were definitely the icing on the cake.

I was having a pretty rough day...until now I can say. :)

Poetic in every way ...

Oh,I can see a wonderful novelist in you!

Mesmerizing photographs. Lovely composition(esp. that plane and wire pic; Great use of lines). Needless to say you are extremely good behind the lens and your words fit the pictures so beautifully. Keep posting, I am looking forward to your next post!
Cheers,
Anshul Dutt

Hi Anukriti... This is my first visit to your blog through the url link posted at surf excel in face book ... since my childhood I love reading. started this habit from God's small stotras / prayers to comics and now magazines and novels. You are excellent in your writing. You smartly put words to feel the moment or emotion and that's where your writing is attractive and encourage the reader to read more more and more...Good writer is who use the words at the right place, right time to give right weight to the emotion. And You are perfect in this innovation which lies in every single sentence to make feel the reader that he himself is going through this situation...
Excellent job Anukriti.. All the very best for your future.....

Wish you a very very happy new year,

"Only through time time is conquered." Anukiti, reading the post felt like pausing time, and undoing all the excesses of the present. These two extra hours seemed like eternity. It transported me to an idyllic time when there were no dreams, no aims, no priorities, no expectations, but simply a celebration of existence.
