By Sablu Mukesh

Dear friends, I have immense pleasure to pay my sincere thanks to Sulekha and its all members. It’s my great fortune to be its one of the recognized members.  And we feel proud of this site, the world’s largest website and a vital platform which has been giving a wide range of opportunities to its huge members to expose and present their best talents in the various aspects. Dear friends, I am really amazed to notice that how soon one year has passed. Today, I really wonder to see my profile, my registering date, month and year in Sulekha, dated 3^rd July, 2007. I have been very much fascinated to go through the fabulous blogs of many noted bloggers pertaining to the various disciplines: be it poem; story; music; film; games and sports. All members are very talented for which I pay my sincere appreciation to their talents. I got an opportunity to read many wonderful blogs in this site which have enriched my knowledge. Initially, I started commenting on a few blogs in Sulekha, and later, I started writing some blogs on Film's lyrics, based on guitar chords as a guitar chord’s writer which I hope will be definitely helping any amateur guitarist to learn . For the same, practically, I have been imparting free education to my students so far in my life about the Guitar learning. I also have keen interest in old Hindi movies and songs and I presented in Sulekha a few blogs on music and film legendaries, like R.D. Burman, my most favorite Music Director, Gulzar a noted lyricist and Kishore Kumar my most favorite singer. And recently, I started my musical journey in Sulekha. I have been posting my songs’ rendition along with my guitar rendition too. Apart from rendering in musical concerts and cultural programs, I take my privilege and pleasure to render the same specially for Sulekhitas’s entertainment.
