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!

Writing Rockesh Style


iRock -II

As he sat down after dinner that night, Shekar remembered Rakesh, the little boy vending coffee. He laughed at his saying his name as ‘Rockesh’ when trying to say his name stylishly in English. He was sitting down at his laptop to write home an email to his family and boss back in California. Even while he was holidaying in India, he was doing some work for his company, scouting out some business prospects in India to outsource some work from the USA. An idea occurred to him and he wrote up the following emails for boss - a weekly update on his status.

“Dear Jeff,

How you? Fine? Our colleagues also good? hope.

I India fine. It dusty, hot, egg fry on head. I find one XYtech Company. Good engineers, technical smart. Manager not experience foreign work. Director interested our proposal. Tomorrow meet sales manager discuss terms. Need details currency exchange banks. Send email. Final sign documents send courier if agree, next month.

Sincere Shekar.”

P.S.  You no alarmed. I crazy no. Sane still. If email clear not, tell. Then I write elaborate. Later tell you good story why I write like this.
