Finally, the 2nd issue of Alvibest is out. Phew! I would like to thank all my friends who tolerated the nuisance I had become over the past few weeks! π I sure need a break and I am off to go and hide somewhere! Anyone ready to house a quintal of tired mass? π
(Cover page of current issue is included in this post after obtaining permission from Alvibest’s Editorial Board)

Congratulations:)The coverpage shows the effort you put in.>Well,i am ready to house a Quintal of tired mass,You are most welcome to join me:)
Very arty, and obviously actual different hands were used for every print. >>The differences (besides just that of colour), between two hands is interesting, and makes the picture all the more special.>>‘Hands’ as a subject for a journal like Alvibest is perfect!>>All in all – nice cover!
Also the dark-shadow-hand beneath each coloured hand makes my mind look for all possible interpretations for the simple picture created as a design for a journal-cover! >>And the handwritten name “Alvibest” – nothing about the cover seems factory produced.>>Anyone will know Alvibest is an art magazine just from the cover.>>Good work! Who is the artist that created it? – the concept, the execution? Very good. Congratulations to you..
Dear A,> I was hoping that someone from Italy or Spain would sponsor my life… π Let’s wait for some more time before I consider your offer! π>>Dear P,> Thank you for your kind words. Well, nothing about Alvibest is factory made. Wouldn’t like to render it that way. I shall pass on your compliments to the artist! π The Board should be putting this cover up on the official blog page and there will be a discussion about it… Stay tuned. BTW, Welcome to this blog… π
you weigh a quintal?:O
Dear W,> Let me commence with a solemn proclamation: I hate you! π > Now let me proceed with the details. If I weighed less than a quintal would you house me? And didn’t you hear the nursery rhyme: 2 Wooks make an Eroteme? >Along the X and Y axis π
Congratulations >>Looks Good>>I’ve been very busy for the past few weeks shifting residences. Yes, weeks. We had started shifting when we were asked to provide some papers … which took some more time … and then had to live out of boxes. Tedious. >>Peeped in to say hi. I’ve not been up to any writing of quality work lately π¦ >>Just read all your past posts – selfishly happy there wasn’t much π I’d missed. >>Lazy get back to the hospital story to comment on it. So it’s here.>>It was a good read. But did you know that every time the clock chimed the girl would have experienced exquisite pain? I’ve been in such a condition – I was a child – but still the memmories are fresh – when hurt and all bandaged and the colour red simply decides to show up from within … even the gentle fall of a feather sometimes feels like a slap – exagerating…??? maybe a little. But have you ever wondered why such clocks are not kept in hospitals? And for the hero to do something like that was very inconsiderate to the other patients.>>I guess I just became the party pooper π¦ >>But if I didn’t care enough I wouldn’t do this. Keep writing π>>See you later. Till then, >>Loveena
Second thoughts>>Have you noticed that people who are in pain never consider the pain they cause to others when they are in pain. >>Very few people actually think about it and refrain from causing added pain … >>One might think that those who’ve been through pain will be gentle – trully they could either be the most cruel or the most gentle souls. >>I’ll stop being a pain now π
Dear L,> Welcome back. Hope you are done with all your moving around. For some strange reason, blogger did not deliver your comments to my inbox. After posting my latest one I scrolled down to see 8 comments and I checked! I suppose the lady might have experienced such pain, but there is a theory that pain can kill pain. Vijay (who might not be the hero) wanted to remind her of better times and bring her out of the self-inflicted misery… He ends up running in a circle! π BTW, I wanted to send the Mag to you but do not have your contact address. Please ask Dream Vendor for the issue copy. Hope you like it! π
:)..Congratulations..You did it again!:)
Dear A,> Thank you… π
