Dearest You,
Today is Children's Day and Children have weaved beautiful tales for Willows Talk's Special Edition: "Writing Stalwarts of Tomorrow." These writers teach us adults to dream more, worry less and look more closely at what is happening around us. Willows Talk owes them big time and will be for ever indebted.
Thank you all for Reading Willows Talk, the online magazine "Born to Express."
Till Next Time,
Willows Talk Team
Dearest You,
Willows Talk is back after a long break. Do Watch out for our new edition. Children are eagerly waiting to entrall the readers of WT.
Thank You for Reading Willows Talk, the online magazine "Born to Express."
Till Next Time,
Willows Talk
Dearest You,
Willows Talk has benefitted immensely from beautiful people who enjoy their writing and are not professional writers. They write because they have something to express, and importantly, they love the beauty of words. Then, there are Little Writers who are going to shape the world tomorrow, and there brilliantly written poems, stories and essays croon to us that the world will be a better place tomorrow. Willows Talk was started with the aim of providing a platform to those who love to write, and we seem to be on the right track. There have been missing editions as well as missing stories, and we apologize for not delivering regularly. But, we are still on the track and we will be celebrating the joy of writing for years to come.
Thank You for Reading Willows Talk, the online magazine "Born to Express."
Till Next Time,

Dearest You,
My dearest friend says, "Sometimes blank paper looks so beautiful that scribbling on it becomes difficult." Willows Talk took a long sabbatical for reasons not to be disclosed. But, the team has been active and planning all the time -- yes, at times, some plans do not bear fruit. I am still in good health and dreaming as always, but now is the time to open the eyes and say "Hello" to reader friends.
I am a year old now and the celebration has got delayed due to issues again I would like to keep it a top secret. But, we are not yet derailed. We plan to celebration the occasion with what we know the best -- WORDS.
Thank You for Reading and We are extremely sorry about the Delay.
Till Next Time,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
The nomad is fully in love these days with the word sang-froid. Aren't words divine magicians? You willingly become slave to them and do not want to get out of their grasp ever. Willows Talk is all about words and its writers here pick-up the most beautiful words to weave stories -- some real, some factual, and some plain imaginative. This is my sixth issue and I am moving toward another milestone and planning to bring a special freedom issue on August 16. Remember to participate in the contest and email us your pieces before or on August 12. The winner of the contest will be announced in the Freedom issue and the selected piece will be published in the ensuing one.
Thank you all for your comments,
Till Next Time,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
The stride taken forward is still a small one, but nevertheless it's a stride forward. The newest issue has a contest, a small one but the first is always special, and it's a clear sign that I am on the right track. Like Tales Galore of this issue, I also have plans galore for readers as well as writers. One day, we will all look back and smile at the small beginnings that took us closer to the real milestone. Though, I would like to remind you all that the fifth issue is our first milestone -- Willows Talk is slowing but surely getting a fine shape.
Thank you all for reading ME and posting your comments.
Till next time,
Sincerely,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
I am feeling very special as this is my first Monsoon, and I feel like celebrating the downpour by getting drenched. If my part of the world was not so sunny, I would have actually done that. I read in one of the rain soaked articles published in this issue that there are hymns to please rain gods. Isn't that amazing, all I need to do is now learn those hymns and please the God so that I can dance in the rain and also save some drops for the next summer.
The next issue is going to be extra special as we going to announce out first WT Contest. Keep Reading WT and Keep Posting your comments.
Thank You All,
Till next time,
Sincerely,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
Looks like, it may take a while for me to start arriving right on schedule. There were barriers set on my path, and I had to take the longest route to get myself published. Also, en route, the programmer went on a sabbatical. As you all can see, Willows Talk still does not have a wholesome body. Some of my options do not work and that makes me a limping sight. But, the option to read works, so enjoy reading my new issue and do post your comments.
Thank you all for reading Willows Talk,
Till next time,
Sincerely,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
I am a month old baby, and my teeth are paining. They say, the pain is part of growing-up, and there will be some mishaps too on the way. We did have a small mishap when the story that was meant to be published in the second issue vaporised -- yes right in front of my eyes. But, thankfully, another story appeared from the land of nowhere. Also, the time did not give us -- We and I -- more than 24 hours in a day to complete the issue right on time. The time did not like the accusatory tone and broke my legs, and thus the delay in publishing the issue.
I am learning to be punctual, which they say is the greatest virtue, and We are learning everyday, and are working hard to run this online magazine on the right track. The third issue will be published on May 17th and you won't be disappointed for sure.
Thank you all for reading Willows Talk and also for posting your beautiful comments.
Till next time,
Sincerely,
Willows Talk

Dearest You,
Every beginning has its own story to tell, and I am no different. A few minute from now, I'll be "born to express," and will finally arrive on the threshold of a new life, but it has been a long journey from the woods of dreams. The idea of Willows Talk, i.e. ME, was conceived eons ago in the mind of a nomad. But, the nomad waited for the signs to give shape to that idea. A small incident triggered the events leading to my birth today.
The first outline was sketchy, but with the second, the mist cleared and the nomad clearly saw my bodily form. But, the nomad could not have made this day possible without the help of wonderful friends. The strangers of yesterday became friends of today, and the team behind Willows Talk came into being.
It's time to unfold.
I am born now and slowly gaining consciousness. The head is still fuzzy, but I see the bright sunlight. It'll take time to come to terms with this new life. We can ponder over that later, now is the time to publish my first issue online.
There is apprehension in the air, and some brilliant pieces have been lost thanks to the invisible courier man. But, we are adamant on getting on the Internet stage and show you my versatile, thoughtful face. Don't you all agree that minuses can be discussed only after the launch? Plus, enough of backstage drama, it's now time to perform.
Willows Talk has just started its journey and there will be many miles to cover. But, what we have achieved today is something that no one can take away from us.
Till next time,
Sincerely,
Willows Talk
