In my 5.4 years of association with MS, I’ve loved many reviews but won’t be able to recall all of them. Before its too late & I forget the reviews which are my current favorites, I decided to come out with this list which is in no way an exhaustive one. So, hereby, I’ve procured a list of 5 reviews, in no particular order, based on my recent visits to MS.
These reviews are special to me because of the following reasons:
1) They touched my heart
2) I bookmarked them
3) They took out profound thoughts in me

Extract: “The humor aside, the author wishes to highlight the issue
of the girl child – the endangered species in India.”
My Review: The review starts with a provoking statement that ipod is
used for womanising. Then it moves on to describe the features of ipod in an
unprecedented way. Affairs of the reviewer with girls\women of various ages
unwrap the features of the ipod. All along readers' interest is kept intact
& is made to believe that the reviewer is keen to highlight the features in
an amusing way with humor sprinkled all over; Only to realize in the end that
it was all meant for a good social cause.
My Comment:
always top-class. ’excellent’ seems to be a trifle word to describe
these reviews!
wow.. what a wonderful way to give a tribute!!!
utterly butterly Impressive.

Extract: “Some movies needs mute affirmation for its appreciation,
some needs delightful smile for its appreciation, some needs series of claps
for its appreciation, some needs standing ovation for its appreciation, &
some needs never-ending celebration for its appreciation.”
My Review: The starting & the ending of the review are the best ones
I ever read. The story is recited in a great manner which keep us all at awe.
Analysis of the movie did more than just-justice to the movie. The author give
his insights & scrutinizes the movie from every angle possible & writes
an impeccable description of the same. There is so much conviction in his
writing that anyone reading it would want to watch the movie.
My Comment:
About your review...I would say, ’some reviews require to be added in the bookmars
for appreciation.’

Extract:“Recommended for anyone who would LOVE
to indulge in those memories which were priceless to you then, & equally
invaluable now!! Afterall, who wouldn’t want to?!”
My Review: Writer first praises the author immensely - in words so-few,
yet so-much.. Then she goes about describing some of the short stories in the
novel. The way she describes each & every story is heart-touching. She also
give extracts from each short story. You would say lots of book reviewers of
short stories do that. What’s so special here? Well the special here is that
the writer seems to be truly influenced by the author & mirrors his style
of writing. Isn’t it exciting to read a review about a great thing which is
just like that great thing?
My Comment:

Extract:“But when I look back today I really have no ill feelings
for her at all. Not to credit myself with any nobility, I must say that it
would only spoil the memory of my first love experience to harbor ill feelings.
And then she did teach me a lot of things about love & life. I later had a
couple of more affairs before I settled down with married life, but from then
on if any heart broke it wasn’t mine..”
My Review: He recites this story about his first love in a sweet way. It
makes for a easy reading and is as interesting as a good short-story. With this
review, story telling capability of the reviewer could easily be gauged. The
reviewer proved by this story that losing, in a curious way, is winning. This
story will live with u after u will end reading it.
My Comment:
wow! Beautiful love story!! I am totally smitten by this one!! I specially
loved the ending lines of ur
story.. which says the most important fact of life in so very simple words...
that Life moves on!!

Extract:My special message to Salman Khan…Aate jaate jo milta hai
tumsa lagta hai……& if I meet him?Do you wanna Partner?His answer…Hum Apke
Hain Koun???
My Answer...Hum Dil De Chuke...
My Review: The review starts with a
short-snippet of the whole story & then its all about
reviewer's love for Salmaan Khan. When we grow up, we start thinking that
fan-following & day-dreaming is just not making any sense & is silliest
thing to do. But this
sweet writer questioned all this by posting a review filled with childlike
innocence & love towards the actor as expressive as we have in our kiddy
days.
My Comment:
I liked so many things about this review that I feel like writing a review
on your review!

Extract:“Every one has their take on love. To some it’s all about
feelings, which are born & which die, where systems are built &, in
turn, collapse. Some take it as an attitude, to be freely adopted at will. For
most though, love & relationships serve as a soothing quotient that makes
life & its ways easy to sail through.”
My Review: The review starts with a definition of LOVE. Then it moves on
to tell the story of the movie. It tells the story in simple & thrilling
words & doesn’t fail to make the romantic elements very much visible in the
review. It is after this review that Vee was christened ‘Love Guru’
My Comment:
Amazingly engrossing review.
Finally, I’ve just one word for you & your review - WOW!
Such a fab review coming from a boy took me by surprise!
Ur review had all the
mushy stuff which makes up a romantic review.
Its been long long time since I read such a beautiful take on LOVE.
*The reason these are featured in this list is that these are fresh in my
mind & heart. I know, in the process, I am not acknowledging many cherished
reviews which I read in the past; But, in no way, I am underestimating
them or belittling them.
I request U all to please take in good spirit & don't brew any
controversies or hard feelings.*
