Getting back..

Oh, how much I longed to return to them! Reachable, yet beyond reach, those alphabets brushed aside like dilapidated furniture in the attic – the delectable A to Z; arrange, rearrange, fit, refit, phrase, rephrase, indulge, celebrate, suffer..



The wind brings along with it, that soft rustle of paper and fond memories of people in waiting - Scribbling pad, frantically crushed papers, vague, erratic, never straight pencil margins down the left, shaky arrows cutting across; the inevitable, word master, the Oxford Dictionary – It’s back to the terrific game of finding THE right word, back to watch those mysterious words wave their magic wands creating patterns of infinite possibilities.

Yeah, I am back and needless to say, it feels so wonderful to be back!!

You talk about the right word, so let me just toss this in here, for what it's worth.

An alphabet is a collection of all the letters used in a script. Each individual character is a letter in the alphabet.

In other words, the right word is not alphabets, but letters.

Sumant, Ah! a slippery mistake there! Thanks for bringing it to my notice! [Well, as I mention, I can see I begin the game with an error! :)]
