Hi el Marie,
I read your “How Covid Has Changed Lives” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
You have dealt with how the pandemic changed lives giving what was before its incidence and after in a few lines, true to the title.
What I felt was you have also told at length what is required to make good of it’s ill effects. The need of concensus of communities before some change is made, how communities should inculcate it are mentioned.
It’s a good effort to write thoughts as they arise in mind , with a little effort to structure them bringing related ones in a chronological order makes it more readable. Wish you all the best for the ensuing 2021 , I liked your positive hope that better days are ahead……….kranand

It's all about the abnormal happenings in the year 2020, and their fall out. True it has deprived us of normal acivities like schools and colleges, fearless free life style and more than any thing , loss of life,near and dears .

Hi Rich,
I read your “ Valley Of The Dogsd” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It is a fun filled description of a valley where only dogs live, and their nature, their society and the like. I couldn’t resist loud laughing when I reached the sentence
“The result of this incident was that a new law was proclaimed;
- If, and when, a calling of nature is performed, one leg will be used to support all buildings and /or structures.”
It is nice I read till the end enjoying the fun…….kranand
Hi AffSid,
I read your “lelts” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s all about the part time jobs for teen agers and their advantages and disadvantages. You have described the pros and cons well.
While as a matter of my policy I do not comment on basics like grammar and spellings, it is important for any written matter. I came across some errors.
Examples:1. It is irrefutable to say that young adults doesn't hold the future of the country. The word “doesn’t” is grammatically used for singular “adult” and the right word here should be “do”
2 Undoubtedly, there participation in any area can bring some incredible changes in the country's progress. Here the word “there” does not make sense. It should be “their” It’s a spelling error.
These could be avoided if run spell check and correct them before posting . Its only my suggestion, not to offend feelings.
It’s a good effort writing……keep writing more and more , refine skills……..kranand
Hi Rinsoxy,
I read your “My 21st Birthday” as a part of read and review Random review exercise . Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s about the birthday under trying odds and vagaries of life post a car wreck you experienced.
It is heartrending read about how one could be driven to hardships, humiliation when one is weak financially.
I liked your comparison of the two gifts, how your mother’s was intrinsically great, and could bring you a joy seeing your performace using it. It does not mean yours was not valuable. I appreciate your attitude to buy a lottery ticket, if luck favored you could be on top of your joy.
Finally your words of rich experience and wisdom “Storms pass in life. No low spot is permanent. There is always a hill to climb but the view from the top can be better than what you had before” are great I wish it could turn out to be so for everyone.
……..kranand
Hi “Informal”
I read your “ Are we there yet?” as a part of read and review Random review exercise . Here are my impressions on it as one of the many readers.
It’s about miscommunication between Crispian and the the worked up short tempered lady whom Crispian thinks to be Rhea butbstill wanted to confirm, but the lady callously answers without even hearing his query. Her restless state of mind is well depicted, and Crispian’s disgust is also well described. The surprise busting of error is dropped instantaneously at the end. With these observations I was anxiously reading till end and could not desist a loud laugh at the fun .It’s a good and interesting story with fun I liked to hearts content………kranand
Hi jonblair ,
I read your “The Mechanics of Writing” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
I like the brief yet comprehensively coverage and sum up of important elementary requirements to be followed while writing. It is a fun I enjoyed reading it many times, you have in a lighter vein pointed out the obstacles and blocks that come in the way of writing. It’s true your experience as a critique of other’s writing has paid rich dividends to your aid.
I appreciate your golden words “part of, "good writing" is to incorporate the basics outlined above”, a very good advice everyone should bear in mind before finalizing………..kranand
Hi Sk,
I read your “Writing Tasks IELTS” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It is about online shopping becoming increasingly popular to result in disappearance of shops in towns and cities. An essay is called for in agreement or otherwise of the statement.
You have disagreed with it giving the reason it does not give the leisure time, quoting it lacks opportunity to choose the best suited item by physically comparing varieties of an item kept displayed. Other reason put forth is that online shopping deprives one of the opportunity to step out of homes which otherwise is provided by the physical visit to shops.
The word “Thusly” in the last sentence is incorrect. It could be corrected as “Thus”
I appreciate the structured style of essay and providing as much clarity as possible to justify the points. ……….kranand
Hi Madwriter,
I read your “Walking the Path” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
I think you are emotionally perplexed and ask “It was scary, but not deadly, it was confusing but not without reason, it was terrifying but also exiting, not knowing were it would lead yet you choose to walk the path less traveled?
“You know it could be bad, and it could lead to your end, the end of your passion, the end of your hopes, and the end of your life?”
Yes life is such you can’t be doing only what you are familiar with, what leads you safe and all the goodies we can think of. Even to sustain vagaries of many challenges that suddenly pounce , one necessarily take risks walking the unknown path using the knowledge and intelligence we are endowed with.
It is expressed quite elegantly, and left as a question perplexing and unanswered, a dilemma normally faced. It’s good thought provoking matter you have worded in a poetry form.
I observe spelling mistakes in several places, for example the word marked red in your lines quoted above.Word were should read Where to make sense. They need to be corrected before posting. It’s simple, use the tool “spell check” provided by the website…Its only to alert you and not to attend I have pointed it out.
It’s a good effort writing your thoughts, enjoy writng,keep writing…kranand
Hi “Ourkidd (1)”
Wish a good thanks giving celebrations.
I came across your “Coincidence” as a part of my read and review Random review exercise. Here are my responses.
You have narrated your experience as you moved into the RAF allotted new house. The narration is quite pictesque, detailed. As part of it the story of three piece suite evolves under repeated returns, the adamant shop guys refusing to return your money, your stern warning that you will protest by publicizing their attitude sitting outside shop telling every customer about the adamant attitude, have all made me read with curiosity how it got resolved. Though the story is a common issue, a good attempt is made to impress readers. The tactful dealing skills of the problem by Val is portrayed well. Though narration is done in detail, it requires editing to reduce repititions, introductory part could be made brief so that the reader is not distracted. It is my personal view ,you may discard if you do not agree. It is to give you clue for improvement, no other intention……
Please find a token gift points , Enjoy wrting more and more ..kranand
Hi G. B. Williams ,
I came across your “TRUTH” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions.
It’s about truth that’s immortal and “Truth has magic. It gives freedom, it sets you free, it places you above the fracas, it leads you in the direction of righteousness. The truth is an undisputable fact. You cannot pretty it up. You cannot change it. You cannot discredit it. TRUTH is just what it is TRUTH -- nothing more and nothing less!” It’s well described in these lines you have summarized.
True , truth is no exception, like lies that hurt and cascade into a big bundle owes, truth also hurts to maintain,but not cascade ,rather it gives peace of mind and long term comfort. You have conveyed it well…………….It’s a good observation in life well said………kranand
Hi Sumojo,
I came across your “I’ve forgotten something” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s about the obsession Jane had for neat and tidy kitchen stressed by repeated references to it beginning to end. She took pride in it.
An enforced maternity leave, was much against her routine but prestigious profession. To adjust herself to a comparatively mundane baby care was something not to her liking at all.
That being the case, it’s natural she couldn’t keep memory of her child, she forgot back at shopping centre, returned home only to find herself guilty and fear of neglect to the extent of forgetting its very presence with her!
By this you have very well depicted the truth : Human mind selectively keeps memory of those that touch his/her emotions and discards or relegates to lesser importance.
I liked the clear picturesque descriptions of kitchen platform, her pride in keeping it neat, clean and tidy, her command over the profession and assistants. Also you have portrayed selective memory humans exhibit, be it for good or bad……….kranand
Hi D.L. Robinson (98)
I came across your “Give up” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions on it as one of the many readers.
It’s about the advice spiritually we get to give up worldly things for attaining higher pursuits in life. I am amused the way you have used to advise “give up , it’s good” but give up worries , your wish to control which are still in your advantage to give up if you can. Though it looks funny , you have conveyed with fun an important practical advise …….kranand
I read your “More Than Man” as a part of read and review, Random review exercise. Here are my understanding about it as one of the many readers.
You have given out your meaning to words like, “a man who has given up everything, mind body and soul” to call him a machine. A good way to declare in advance what they mean to you, and deploy them in your ensuing Sci-Fi, to foment thoughts about it in advance and read further as the fiction gets out for readers……….kranand
I read your “Limmeriks”as a part of my read and review, Random review execcise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
I liked it, a concise information, well described,in simple words to aid understanding what a Limmerik is any one new to it. Also the brief about its origins, nature and way it’s in use in different occasions appealed me. A good helpful information, well written ………kranand

Hi Sumojo,
I came across your “Coronavirus” as a part of read and review Random review.Here are my impressions as one of the many readers.
It’s a well coined limerick, true to its definition by word, meaning and reflects humorously the view that it’s scare an over emphasis, advises:"go and enjoy before you are caught on by the deadly virus,to affect your brains further!"
I liked the skill of the author in packing so much of meaning in so little number of words. It’s remarkable…..kranand
I came across your “1969” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Her are my impressions as one of many readers.
It’s about the views and perspectives of “the man in the moon” about the earth. You have brought out every one knows “maladies of wars,hunger and anger, that plague the earth.
Suddenly hearing “shoot for the moon” you conclude that one small step for a man a giant leap for mankind, yes but not always, as he says!
A good effort packing action, a scene of aggression, and the truth every giant leap mankind goes forward begins in the small steps of a man,in as little as 75 words!……..kranand
Hi M.C.Guptha
I came across your poem “writing dot com” as a part of my read and write Random review exercise. Here are my impressions as one of the many readers.
It’s about our website WDC, a lasting tribute one ever can think of in the form of cute poem!
I join you to say “It’s in fact the only place Where authors truly learn” and wish “Go on, writing dot com on The path of excellence. This authors’ society May bloom in all fragrance!”

Hi Johnny O,
I read your “Life’s Lessons” as a part of my read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions as one of the many readers.
Yes I agree every one of us has a story, and you aptly wish it has to be told, shared, and analyzed to take on good of it while keep away from the bitter part of it.
I liked the smart way you have expressed the observation that we die several times in life, vehemently advocate we leave behind us a mark, a legacy of wisdom that heals, that brings solace to ones we leave behind.
It’s great you have paid a tribute to the ones who fought for freedom.
It’s true we don’t do anything for free, anything without expectation, more aptly, without any strings!
All you want from readers is a moment of their attention to read and orchestrate on your ideas , a noble and humble desire , hats off to your humility , I liked the wisdom packed into a few lines………kranand
Hi Queen Norma Jean,
I read your “Bear Creek” as a part of read and review random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s about the narrator losing track near the fork, telling himself about it alone loudly on way when she hears a male asking him “Are you talking to me?. While she’s unable to make out the source of the voice warns she has spray, she is not afraid of using it. The conversation continues when a male and not a bear, springs up by surprise!
A funny story around the bear creek, where people get equipped with spray to ward off sudden onslaught of bears.
Thank god she didn’t spray on the male that sprung a surprise!
Fluent style, simple words, packed with fun , short and sweet, I loved to read through and enjoy……..kranand
Hi Dorianne (125)
Your cute poem “Lies” caught my attention while I was on read and review mode, for Random review. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s about your views on “Lies” a common ailment humanity has got trapped into in defense of its escape from their follies or in pursuance of their greed to possess what others do not, to get an edge over others.
I liked the simple fluent way you have advised how lies never die, how it cascades into many fold in an effort to hide one. More so, it doesn’t leave one who lies unless he pays it’s price when truth erupts on its own.
The message you have given is loud and clear, we should realize and follow for the good of self and the society…….kranand
Hi informal (4) ,
I read your “yours lovingly-jonquil” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It is a touching confession of a true love that’s “injected in every vein”! The pain of separation is so intensely expressed, the great lessons you learnt from the departed, the true act of sharing with love is also so immortal you cannot but write this letter though you know it cannot reach her, but it’s to reassure that you maintain the promise you made to her that you will not hurt yourself, you will not run away from the promise (cowardly ?) just to avoid the pain of separation!
A masterly tribute to your divine better half, I appreciate such rare one I ever have come across…….kranand
Hi Sumojo,
I read your “ A world without coffee” as read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions as one of the many readers.
It is all about ill effect of coffee on the impact of Pandemic that prompted people to stop its use.
The news is in media that gets attention of Marion and Jack couple , their conversation about it, leading finally to Jack’s old aged mother Mable, her love for coffee,her addiction to it. The couple visit his mother to convey her about the ill effects and ask her to discontinue drinking of coffee.
The humorous description of the old mother, her continuance in drinking further , her dementia , fun filled live conversation took me read through till the end , a feast to discerning reader’s pallet.
I liked the fluent style of writing, it’s a great skill , I’m tempted to emulate…….kranand
Hi “Fynspookular!”
I read your “Procrastination” as a part of read and review Random review exercise. Here are my impressions about it as one of the many readers.
It’s heartening to hear you don’t procrastinate unless it’s inevitable. Yes you have hit the worst weakness people have, not only limited to writing but in all walks of life.
Another good habit of yours that I’m impressed with is, about your habit you write regularly every morning five to seven.
You have brought out you indulge in watching TV or some diversions to overcome the moments when you’re stuck while writing for want of ideas, or thinking about plot.
I like the way you have conveyed an important message how a good writer’s routine should look like for successful writing.
May be I am a bit overboard, but that’s what I felt like ………kranand
