I endeavour to maintain a clutter free, simple reading environment that takes just a few minutes to read a complete story. This blog is free for all. One way you could 'repay' me if you like the story you have read is to refer others to this blog and the specific story. I would appreciate that kind of word-of-mouth (or its modern equivalent - email, link, Facebook posting) advertising, since it is the best kind. Kindly do to the extent you can without feeling uncomfortable or like a spammer.

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy reading!

Gained (or Lost) in Translation - 1

The Amazing Transformation due to Translation into another language

"Since the day I downloaded your image into my heart,
I wander around with you, not apart,
Painting in new colors,
The parties of my dreams"


Sounds so modern and contemporary, does it not? Probably paints a mental picture of modern young love with possibly some implied drug references or connotations..

Well, just translate it into Hindi and we get quite a different mental image, though the theme of love is maintained.

Here is the song with the complete translation and it takes it further...

Hope you enjoy it..."Tasveer teri dil mein, jis din se utaari hai.."
