A: Never thought I will be appreciated at the first place but I had confidence on myself that I can write good at least if best, but the immense love and appreciation I got here is beyond my expectations.

A: Very rarely I feel that but when I feel that I just remember my user name @ SwatiwriteSid....the reason and why I am here...that is for Sidharth and then for myself ...and someone may be waiting for my updates even if a single reader I have to write...so I just start writing and then flow comes...bas ho jata hai!!
