Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing. - Francis Bacon
PROLOGUE
Writing is an art. Miguel De Cervantes once said, “The pen is the tongue of the mind”. Writing is fun. Writing imbibes great many things in you. It creates some pleasure in you. It increases your wisdom as you get to know many things while thinking about the things you are going to write. Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that “The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work”. The writers are those with immense wisdom. While any one can write about anything, in anyway he/she can, only certain pieces of writing always lingers in mind. The writers that make such a beautiful writing to cherish in your memory are the great ones.
Mouthshut is not just another portal. MS is not just another opinion site. I am sure many of us will agree that it has that personal touch which pulls us like a magnet. It has developed me so much that I am very confident as a writer than I was a month and a half ago. There is another component that makes you stay wonderful. These are the star writers and the beautiful reviews they write.
While it is very difficult to choose only 5 out of a thousand plus wonderful writers, I decided to do honor of those five that I think are the best writers. With No offense intended to those who are left out, I am trying my best to rate the top 5 in my mind. I have taken into account only those who are actively writing now.
I congratulate all those wonderful writers who make my day, on a daily basis. Due to the fear of missing out anyone, I am not listing anyone. So, you can consider yourself to be the one I want to mention. Fair deal?
In no particular order
MY FAVORITE FIVE
- Tongue_in_Cheek(a.k.a Cheeky) – https://mouthshut.com/user/tongue-in-cheek.html
Anyone can write about certain things that they want to write about. Not many can write about everything under the third rock from the sun. This is the guy who pulled me into Mouthshut, for it was his article that pulled me to MS. While I have never mentioned this to him, I have read quite a few of his 100 articles(Though he has 97 to his credit, 3 more are pending via Mouthpad). This guy is simply non-stoppable genius. How would you describe a guy who excels in every topic he writes in, be it movies, be it technical topics, be it corporations, be it general thoughts. Some of his classic reviews are simply incredible. His trust list states it all. 86. Some of the best articles are

He deserves to be in almost every category of best reviewer list. Be it review of the day, Star-writer or Hall-of-Fame.
Well done Cheeky Sir!. Well done. – Thus Spake Kalil
- Just-Did-It(a.k.a jEdi) https://mouthshut.com/user/just-did-it.html
Sreekantan a.k.a Jedi is an excellent writer who enthralls everyone with his crystal-clear and to the point reviews. He misses not a loophole or misses a chance to cut through a topic in a vitriolic manner. Jedi has written 68 reviews in all. Each one of them is a gem by itself. Some of his comments are equally funny too. I happened to read quite a few of them, while reading few reviews. Jedi has been writing some wonderful reviews that are to be printed and distributed. Some of his masterpieces are

Jedi, may the force be with you to enthrall us all.
- jonam_t(Manoj-ji) The Man in Uniform https://mouthshut.com/user/jonam_t.html
An army officer and a strong disciplinarian, his reviews are something I look forward to, although I have read only few of his reviews. The way he has made it to the star-writer, speaks volumes about this writer, who has conventional wisdom along with irreplaceable wisdom called experience. The way he writes his review with his experience and a way that excites readers of all ages, is simply great. Only 36 review old, he is a star-writer already. What does it tell you? Each one of the articles is a gem for the content and quality. Though not many of his reviews are widely read, the majority of MS members are missing out something great. Just read his “commenting on reviews” for instance
https://mouthshut.com/readreview/36240-1.html.
His advices are simply excellent.
Manoj-ji, please do write often and do continue to write the way you do now.
- ganeshb(Ganesh) – The Humor King https://mouthshut.com/user/ganeshb.html
I have read the last 5 of his reviews. All of them are laugh riots. The latest one is a class of its own. He has a knack of writing so humorously that even simple things take the size of an absolute necessity.
Have you read his “Maa, Main aa raha hun Maa!’,
https://mouthshut.com/readreview/36935-1.html & the review he wrote yesterday
“Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw:” about preventing spam emails. https://mouthshut.com/readreview/40167-1.html.
I can go on and on raving about all his 26 reviews. Nice one GB. Keep it up.
- Premjit(Prem) – The Smiling Killer https://mouthshut.com/user/premjit.html
If you take all the reviews on this topic, this guy is present with a big smile. It tells you something doesn’t it? He is a great writer who has a hit of almost 60 reads by members for all his latest reviews. His reviews are logical, organized, effective, funny and a joy to read. I haven’t read all his 78 reviews. By the time he writes his 100th review, he will be at the top of the hall-of-fame for sure. The way he creates interest in every one is a classic example. He is also very sincere in comments and rating, whenever he finds time. He has so many killer lines for humor, I considered him to be a co-holder of the “humor king” title that Ganesh nailed with his latest three. Though I haven’t been around for long, I have read quite a few of his great reviews, thanks to the “5 most humorous reviews on MS” and all. Almost all of them have a review by Premjit.
Rendezvous with Simi Garewal is a classic example of his humor https://mouthshut.com/readreview/37242-1.html
The Smiling critique, May you cross your century in style and continue to enthrall us.
EPILOGUE
I tried my best to fit in the 5 deserving reviewers amongst so many that makes us mingled in this electrifying site. While there are so many other great writers, I shall stick to my rule of mentioning the 5 best in my mind, by sticking to the topic at hand.
Writing is what makes this site wonderful. Plagiarism isn’t. All these 5 made it to great list by writing what comes to their mind in a very effective manner.
I Hope you all liked my 25th review, Comments are very welcome.
Kalil
