Alvida ..
I don’t think I will be able to write anymore for at least a few months/years because of various reasons and circumstances, and at this moment I am not sure if I will even write again.
So treat this as my last post. I guess I will remember every single reader of this space. Every one of you have made a difference to me, in some way or the other. I hope the opposite holds good too.
And I sincerely apologize if I have ever hurt you inadvertently.
So, thank you and Good bye.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Alvida

I don’t know. a few months is okay… a few years is a bit too long but still has a hope….
But saying you are not sure if you would ever write again, this kills even the hope…
Would really like to know what can kill a writer. I always thought Once a writer always a writer. It just comes naturally….
All I can say no matter how hard you try to kill it with in you but you won’t be able to….

Now, that is shocking. Cuckoo, may be you could consider it as a break, take your own time and when everything is fine, come back to talk to us. It has been nice listening to you, and talking to you. You still have a lot of work left in making this world a better place
Will wait, for any time. Wish you all love and happiness till then. Cheers, Roxy

It’s really sad to know that you are going off the net for ever. I still remember you as one of my regular reader and that too one of the first ones when you were introduced to my blog by our close friend. May god bless you and I wish you all the very best in all walks of life. Fatema and I will be always missing you on our blog. Take care and good bye.

No ! you can not do this to us. Its so shocking. I cant believe my eyes.
Yours is one blog i have been reading since its inception.
I am sure you’d have considered all options before taking this decision but I am requesting you to think again.
Can I or anyone else be of some help?
Pls don’t go forever. I wont say Goodbye. You gotta come back soon.

It pains to say good bye.
I never learnt how to say it in the best way.
Thought for a while of meeting u.
But i have u dont give up reading blogs.
Whatever you do, give it your best.
Good bye are perhaps meant to be smile on the lips and tears in the eyes.

You visited my blog, left a sweet comment, and had me coming here. You hooked me with your poems, stories and writings. And now you leave. I feel that I part without knowing you completely, in the middle of a journey.
Alvida.

Cuckoo,
This is so shocking and sad. Why do you have to do this?
If a brave & bold girl like you does this what do we understand? I m sure you’d have your reasons but….
Please consider it as a break and do come back. Remember, you are my regular reader and inspirational guide and I’ve learnt many things from you. Abhi padhai khatam nahi hui. Remember how eagerly I always wait for your inputs and comments.
Anyways, all the best to you. Thats all I can say.

Shocked!
Anyhow, many many thanks for this blog! You have given us a lot of ponder, to debate, to cherish!
Also, take good rest and good care of yourself!
I am optimistic that the ‘various reasons and circumstances’ that have made you take this decision, will take care of themselves and Cuckoo will return to her nest!! And so, no alvida to you, Cuckoo! I am sure of the return, I am sure you will take up writing again..It’s a ‘when’ question, not an ‘if’ question!
And once again, thanks for the blog. It has been a pleasure getting addicted to your blog!

Please dont do this to us.
I have been reading your blog dont know since when.
And now suddenly you announce your departure. I feel I am orphaned.
Through your writings you have made us pause and think. your positive attitude made us feel it’s not end of the road. your poems had magical effect on me.
Its difficult to control my tears right now.
Pls come back.

You’re closed?! closed?! …but why?!
Dont close down for good. Take a break and come back.
I havent inhabited blog-land in the longest time and finally put up a highly incoherent post this week simply because I refuse to abandon something that meant so much to me when I first started.
And now you’re leaving?

Sunanda said,

Oh no!
What happened?
Why suddenly you are closing your blogs?
Is everything alright? Can we (your readers) do something to help you out?
hope you are ok.

Why Cuckoo. I should not ask you as I was in the same foot. I had some other problem which stopped me. As you know I tried many times, but could not. But now sometime I do post. I was thinking for the interview you promised me long back and the fight that we had in your blog when I was in Greece, long story but will definitely miss you.
Don’t be upset, whatever may be the reason things goanna be alright. That’s what I believe; the smiley face will change the World again. Take care

It’s a shocking news for me.
I came here around a year back searching for some word and your stories got me hooked to your blog.. I am one of your silent readers as you call them. I have never commented here but this post compelled me to do so.
I sincerely hope all is well with you and like others I urge you to come back.
Take sometime, relax but do come back. Please.

Do you remember me? I am same Siddhant from Paris whose blog was visited by you around a year back. We exchanged some pleasantries and I became your fan. Reading and waiting for your posts.
And now you depart. What do I understand by this? First I thought it was a prank but now dont know.
I am currently posted in Belgium, the country you visit most. Waiting to hear from you so we can meet up sometime.

Hey cuckoo,
I have been a dormant reader of your blogs. Good luck to your future endeavors and hope to see you active again some day in future.
I don’t want to judge and specular but this post and the decision appears like an emotional decision to me. But whatever it is, I for sure can vouch that it has been taken with due consideration.
Your blogs have been food for thought which sometimes have helped me to mature emotionally. So all the best and thank you.

मैंने जबसे आपका ‘सुनो सुनो एक बात सुनो’ पढ़ा है, आपके लेखनी की कायल हो गयी हूँ | न जाने कितनी बार आपकी कविताएँ पढ़ी और दूसरों को पढ़ाई हैं |
इस तरह आपका जाना अच्छा नहीं लग रहा है पर शायद आपकी कोई मजबूरी हो |
मेरी ईश्वर से प्रार्थना है की वे आपके ऊपर अपनी कृपा बनाये रहे और आप जल्द से जल्द वापस आ जायें

Cuckoo,
This is a shocking news. I was addicted to your blog and even when I was away on a break, i was looking forward to read yours. Your blog has taught me several aspects of life and made me more tolerant. Thank you very much for this addiction.
It looks to me an emotional decision but you are the best judge. You are a fighter. You’d have given it a consideration.
So, no goodbye to you. Hope you are back soon.

Hi Cuckoo,
I have been reading your blogs a for a very long time. Its a dull thing for me to learn that you are dis-appearing from this site for a while.
I would like to have eMail contacts, to remember a pleasant reading experience i have had over these days.
Cheers,

Hmm…So atlast you decided on playing hide and seek with your readers…lol..
Even though many blogs end without notice, seems you still have great attention on this last post.. guess there cannot be your replacement and style in blogosphere.

That’s too bad to learn this! I trust that you will be back blogging again and especially that we will have the opportunity to meet one day, not only virutally! It would be too bad to see one’s favourite bloggers just disappear like this!
I wish you anyhow all the best!! … and hope to hear from you!

Cuckoo,
I just got back from my travels and what am I reading? This is shocking!
You have been one of the first few bloggers who encouraged me when I stepped into the world of blogging.
Whatever the reasons maybe for your decision not to blog anymore, I hope things will be better, and that you would change your mind and return.
Till then I wish you the very best.
Peace and joy to you always.

Cuckoo,
I just got back to the blogging world and saw this
I am sure you have your reasons… and some teacher once said in the class when we students were complaining about a surprise test - “Guess what! Life is not fair!” I am sure with time you will snap out of it and be back…
Till then, we will miss you and hope that you are well and come back soon.
Best,
Pooja

I stopped blogging for a year myself and just came back recently; hope things will work out in the end Cuckoo.
