It is that time of the year when everything is lighted and decked up. Colorful festoons, confetti, pretty glittery decor, paper star lanterns, plum cakes, eggnog and colorfully decorated Christmas trees - it is my second favourite time of the year (first being Durga pujo).
To begin with the review, I love how the blog looks. The beautiful waves crashing in the header and the subtitle "Life is what happens when you are busy planning other things!!! - so I keep scribbling around" beautifully complements the overall blue background and feel of the blog. The blog has a journal like feeling where he scribbles his thoughts and pens his feelings.
Karan started his blog way back in 2010 but it is of late that he started posting regularly. He is a really versatile writer and his blog is a wonderful conglomeration of poems, short pieces of fiction and book reviews.
I really loved the 55 fiction pieces, he does a great job telling terribly tiny tales within the word constraints. Crisp, brief and beautiful writing.
What I loved most were his poems. The one titled "Mother" is poignant, deceptively simple and beautifully rhythmic, a wonderful dedication to one's mother. Karan is a poet at heart and all his blog posts have a beautiful rhythm and rhyme, even the most prosaic ones. He has really matured and grown as a blogger from the time he started.
There is one thing I think Karan could have added to his blog, an ABOUT ME section where he gives a little introduction about himself, his life and things he loves. Would love to see more book reviews and
Visit his blog and show some love.
Merry Christmas, people!!
