In
Facebook, there is this fun game currently trending. I did a lot of brainstorming,
consulted my notes and jotted down these 15 authors/poets who have influenced
me in some way or the other. Felt, it would be fair enough to post them on my
blog as well (so that I may peruse them later on in my life).
I was tagged
by Mehta Pankti into this fun little game:
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Try to tag at least 15 friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.
