coffee break: January 2009
http://surbhi-coffeebreak.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. I began this Blog today, long pending and deferred action, which must be taken now- because I have something to say and contribute in the Conversations going on in the great world wide web. The urge to write is an inherent calling for me, and I have also been inspired by some people, whom I will mention by and by. A poem and a painting…. I discovered T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Let us go then, you and I,. When the evening is spread out against the sky,.

http://pandunayak.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, January 24, 2009. Its been a while since my last post, but there's an easy explanation for this hiatus- -I found a most incredible series of books to read!
