This one surpassed all your previous posts with regard to ornate language and the words you have used.I need to confess that I stopped reading your post after a para and returned with a dictionary to check few of the words.Gosh !! I don't know where you get that vocabulary of yours and every effort made while reading the post paid off.Such beautiful selection of words which accentuated your emotional outburst.

I loved your candid style of writing in this one.You poured your heart into it and took us on your journey in IL.I wish I could quote the sentences I liked the most but in that case I might be flogged by the moderators for I have to quote the entire post.

I was wondering halfway through still you haven't mentioned your cathartic trip to Damascus[from the title and the way it off in the beginning] when you narrated the story of Saul.I think that was the peak of the post and



How true ..I can totally understand as even I was a sceptic when it came to online communities few months back.

Ovi, I dont' know how you do it but your every post excels the previous one and this one for sure is a 'must read'.

Dearest Sweetest Saby,

Thanks a million, buddy. Taking your words as a great compliment.

It reminds me that I'm not doing this much of justice when I give FBs to your posts which are excellent ones. Let me receiprocate your words.

Thanks again, Saby.

Your style of narration has just taken me in the most scenic and beautiful ride ever. Your topic of discussion!!! Who would have thought an ordinary topic like this can be dealt in Gold interlaced wit rubies and shining with silver. Super my friend.

Dearest AC,

An air of warmth from AC; What a delightful contradiction between the name and the nature of the person.

Thank you, Thank you...
