Dear Readers,<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that we take immense pleasure in presenting to you the inaugural issue of Pothiz \u2013 Pothi.com\u2019s online magazine. We see Pothiz as a natural extension to our efforts of providing the young and unheard voices a platform where they could engage, be heard, get valuable feedback directly from their readers and flourish into wonderful wordsmiths. While Pothi.com remains an open platform for a variety of publishing endeavors, Pothiz is going to be a more curated collection of creative writings. Our hope is that this collection will encourage readers to delve into and discover the hidden gems in the proverbial \u201clong tail\u201d of writing.<\/p>\n

We received close to a hundred entries and selecting a few for your reading pleasure was not an easy task. At Pothi.com, we particularly respect the fact the each individual has his or her own taste in reading and writing. So, apart from the entries that made it to the main issue, we are also going to put up some of the other entries we have received on the website. Do read them and give your praises or constructive feedback to the authors through comments.<\/p>\n

Coming to the entries included in the issue, the Featured entry \u2018The Soul is a Battery<\/a>\u2019 delighted us with its interesting and novel take on ghost stories. It entertains, it frightens and it leaves you nodding in agreement with the feelings of the characters. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.<\/p>\n

Amongst other stories, \u2018The Matrimonial Clock<\/a>\u2019 will resonate particularly well with the urban career oriented professionals. It is a story of how they have to cope with the conflicting needs of matrimony and career. \u2018Thirteen Hours of Fame<\/a>\u2019, \u2018Practical Lessons<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018The idiot<\/a>\u2019 are the stories about the opportunism, the hypocrisy, the good and the bad in common people \u2013 just like you and me.<\/p>\n

While \u2018Barberic Times<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018God Promise<\/a>\u2019 are there to tickle you, \u2018Goodbye Mrs. Boa<\/a>\u2019 is a sweet, but profound tribute to Boa Sr., the last speaker of Bo Language in Andaman islands. She died earlier this year. Other poems \u2018City\u2019s seasons<\/a>\u2019, \u2018Elegy<\/a>\u2019, \u2018Divine Sisterhood<\/a>\u2019, \u2018\u092c\u0947\u091f\u0940 \u0939\u094b\u0928\u093e \u0915\u093e \u0926\u0930\u094d\u0926<\/a>\u2019 (The Pain of being a Daughter\/Girl, Hindi) and ‘\u0938\u0942\u0928\u093e \u092c\u091a\u092a\u0928<\/a>‘ (Empty Childhood, Hindi) touch on the various stories, pleasures and pains of our human existence. \u2018Oops! I made you a Daddy<\/a>\u2019 is a cute, little autobiography by a day old baby (ghost written by his father).<\/p>\n

Finally, as you all battle with the fever of Football, do not forget to read the review for \u2018Inverting the Pyramid\u2019 by Jonathan Wilson<\/a>. The book provides an interesting insight into how the gameplay has evolved over time and how the game is not just about the magical players!<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy the collection. Do send your feedback on the magazine and also on the individual entries. Entries are also invited for the next issue of the magazine<\/a>. The deadline is July 16, 2010.<\/p>\n
