Honestly, I find them quite mundane so I thought I'd do my writing justice with some good old fiction. The glasgow smile intrigues me a lot, so contests apart, I love writing about it. This is the second post about it! :D<br />I'm really glad you liked it so much. :)D2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04659198938158373406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006583928232255401.post-31937501526153235702011-06-17T14:27:16.237+05:302011-06-17T14:27:16.237+05:30i read ur post on d blogjunta picks. i totally tho...i read ur post on d blogjunta picks. i totally thot its fab n frankly a tad disappointed u dint win- wich actually is y im writin baq.<br /><br />its an absolutely brilliant piece dat adds a whole new dimension to wat people perceive as beautiful. on my list of best posts u wud hav made it to d top. i jus HAD to say it...so dere! :)Sadiya Merchanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316384629883317783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006583928232255401.post-91635227771745304212011-05-30T12:13:10.934+05:302011-05-30T12:13:10.934+05:30@the critics : Thank you. :)

I have another 55er post about that art form as well. <br /><br />Yes, all psychopath's are poets or artists in their own way. But obviously, we perceive things in a very different light. <br />Thanks a lot.
