Ahem! Second letter for Jan'10. One more of my favourite magazines(Comes twice a month)- Filmfare. Not a bad beginning, I think...this is really encouraging- must go full steam with my writing hobby. It's so much fun and so relaxing after a stressful day. Why don't you people try your hand at it, too-at Letters To Editors, I mean... The best letter prize(s) are an added bonus, of course, but the main pleasant feeling is to see one's letter selected for publication. Oh, yes.. Filmfare's also on twitter now(as filmfare )...I signed in, and whew!There're so many nice updates there- news hot from the Bollywood presses, so to speak..and, an added bonus is all the stars tweets also come in, automatically.Maybe I am getting addicted to Twitter, finally..?

Whee!! First letter of the New Year. From: Jan'10 issue of Society. Society's always been one of my favourite mags and I used to write to them very regularly. I'd even gone to their Worli office once, when Ashvina Vakil was the editor. It all tapered off- my writing hobby, that is,  when I moved to Dxb. And, I quickly embraced blogging, when I first came across rediffblogs- imagine a space where your letters get printed ad verbatim, without editing.(Well, to be honest, most of my Letters To Editors also used to be printed ad verbatim..haha) Back in the nineties, I'd have about 35-40 letters like this one, on an average, in various magazines and papers. Those were the days...and, I hope to bring them back soooon!!Wish me luck!
