Oh, that's great. It must be a great honour to you. I am satisfied when my classmates say "thanks Ropi" when I help.
On the other hand when I write it is about things which is not interesting to the vast majority of the population. As my American teacher said my style is not really artistic (but I still get mainly 5s so I don't care).
It's not an e-book Aayushi.Thanks for the encouragement Babes :)
Muaaah

Congrats Sameera!!! Wishing you more and more of your work is published. Is it possible to get this book in UAE bookstores??
Congratulations Sameera!
You don't need to! Lena and you are awesome writers..and I would so love to go thru this book, but you know na..em young and if I tell my parents I want to buy this book..there'll be questions and more questions..:((
Btw Sammy..I'm sorry but I have some small tinie winie work to put on your shoulders..could yu please design a template for me?
Very simple,black,no header (i'll design it myself),three-column,not too colorful..and you-knw-how type..don't make it girlish..make it in shades of black,red,and white..I know it sounds like m ordering you..but piich..you know I really want things when I want them..sowwiee :(..but will you please make oneE? :))
Welcome here Gargy and thanks a lot!I love all these shades too :)
Welcome here and thanks a lot Maddy!As of now,it is not.You will have to order it online.
Thanks Sneha and wish you the same!
It's ok Aayushi babes,but I don't see why your parents will shout considering it's not an X-rated book or something :)
As for the template,the essence lies in the header around which the rest of it is made and if you just need the html for a 3 column,you can always get it from any of the sites that offer blogger templates.
Oh okay! Em sowwie..you can design the header for the blog too! :)..you can consult te current header of my blg for details..and you know how my fad is..:))..something simple..abstract..bookish..black,white and red :D..
btw the header can be changed by myself too naa?/..aise toh I don't have problems..'cos I know you'll make a good one,lekin I prefer changing the header of my blog now n then..okayii baby?? :)
As for "The Eleven".. I get what you mean..I'll try asking my dad if i can buy this book :))..I wsh it was available in a local book store..would SURELY buy it then!
Congratulations and well done. I am a published writer too; I know the joy of a new book in hand. A wonderful and thrilling moment.
LOVE your header btw, amazing.
Hugs, G

Hi Sameera,
I made a prayer for you and my other friends at my Random Thoughts blog. Hope you like it.
Gold and silver I do not have and I cannot give any material gifts to my beloved friends but what I have I give to you all with all my heart and soul. These are my power prayers that I lift up to heaven that the Lord will shower you with His mighty blessings for your healing, upliftment and prosperity. I pray to God, who has been so good to me, and who has kept me alive after all these years although medical science could have pronounced me already dead a long time ago; who has shielded and protected me from all the trials and persecutions spawned by the arch enemy of faith; and who has provided me and my loved ones with all the best and most wonderful blessings of heaven; to Him who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb, these are my prayer petitions for my beloved friends, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hey Congrats Sam....feels so nice na..seeing ur name printed in a book or an article...Am gonna order one for sure...BTW...very feminine template...nice one...
Will do it sometime later Aayushi,but I don't know why you want me to make one for you when you make such cool ones yourself! :)
Welcome here Geraldine and thanks a lot!I am yet to get the book in my hands and I can hardly wait :P
Glad you liked the header :)
Mel,I have no words to thank you for your profound thoughtfulness.God Bless You my dear friend.
Thanks a lot Diana!Indeed dear,it feels good and I can't wait for the book to reach me.Glad you liked the template dear :)
Awwe..thnku!
The main reason is I can't make 3 column templates..and I don't know how to operate them!
(Btw..I made headers for loads of friends..and I search an appropriate temp. frm some random site..I can't design templates like ya all! :D..but will learn!..)
Lol!It's similar to 2 column.Once you get the basic html(which I will send you),you can make the header and rest easily :)
wow!!! wow!!! wow!!! amazing!!!

Hi Sameera,
I'm sorry if I can not order your book. First of all, I don't have a credit card for paypal. That's the reason why I have not received a single cent from blogging until now. Secondly I really don't have the money right now. But I believe in your work and I will pray that God will bless your book so that it will become a bestseller. Congratulations for the breakthrough. May this be the start of a promising career in writing. I always believe that you will make it as a professional writer. Just keep on writing what is closest in your heart and soon your articles will be on everybody's lips. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
Congrats on your published short story. You'll never forget your first, that's for sure. Here's to many many more --Cheers!
