Utmost Feelings – Anthology

I’m ecstatically happy to share with you the news that an anthology that I’m a part of, “Utmost Feelings” with the theme ‘Love’, has been released.

It’s been exactly a month today since the launch (29th June 2021). But, I wanted to share this news only after I received a paperback copy. The delivery was a mess, unfortunately, and I got my copy only a couple of days ago and hence the delay in the announcement.

Attached with bittersweet memories, this book will always remain special. Astha, the girl who initiated the process of compiling this book is no more with us. Today marks the end of three months since her demise. But still, the legacy of her dream lingers in each word that the book holds. I heartily appreciate the efforts of True Dreamster, the publisher, who took Astha’s wish forward and presented this bouquet of love to her family as a tribute.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to every person who’s a part of this wonderful project and all supporters.

Blogging Tips #1

In this post, I’m to share my insights on how to add a tag that states ‘Expand To Read’. A few bloggers had asked me for it, and this is a post detailing the need and procedure for the same.

Details tag:

The details tag is more like an interactive disclosure widget. Any content that the user can open and close on demand can be added to this. When open, it expands and displays the content.

When to use the ‘details’ element?

Details tag in HTML can be used to display

• answers for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
• repeated stuff, providing the reader a choice to read.
• spoilers in book or movie reviews.
• answers for puzzles.
• disclosures, or
• any trivial content.

One-Liner Wednesday #7

Stains of Pen & Sword

When one slashes hundreds with a sword in the battlefield and then sitting in the tent chooses to stain the pages through a pen that inks the lost blood, will the pen still be considered mightier?

This is in response to the ‘One-Liner Wednesday Prompt’ by Linda G. Hill. The challenge is to write a motivational or funny one-liner inspired by ‘The last thing you bought’. The last item I purchased was a pen and a bottle of ink.

Compassionate Revenge

That feeling when you grow manifold and treat people in an exceptional way is the best revenge to the same people who treated you as an exception.

Potato’s Plead

Will you let me enjoy my final moments by releasing me from this suffocation of your air-tight pack and my neighbour’s stink, if I tell you I’m that odd one in the group who’s too sweet and is special enough to make a puppy face?

Tempo

Anytime is good time to realize when ‘nothing’ ends and ‘something’ begins – the something for which nothing else matters.
