I just received my copies of Taj Mahal Review in the mail. This international edition is truly outstanding, and my heartiest congratulations go to everyone who participated.

Francie

I hope you’re fine. I just received the new Taj Mahal Review. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Eric Tessier

Now I’ve got the books. My neighbour took them from the postman, because I was not at home and he just gave them to me. Thank you very much for the great books and also thank you for publishing my photographs and the stories about them. Good luck for you, your family and your business… Greetings from Germany

Michael Gebauer

Hope you are doing fine, as well. I did receive my copies, and am very grateful for your speedy dispatch, and delivery. All, who wanted a copy, and received one, are very pleased. Particularly, the owner of the dog, Zowie, and the grandmother of the child, Kristy. One other inquiry, if you please. The fans of the singer, Clay Aiken, who is one of my drawings you published, were all excited about my drawing of him being published! Just curious, have you received many unusual amount of orders from different areas of different countries? His fans are quite enthusiastic, and will purchase most anything that has to do with him. Just curious, because the link to purchasing your "Taj Mahal Review" June 2006, publication, has been posted at some of his fans’ message boards.

Carliss Mora aka Cezanne

Yes, my copy came a week ago. Thank you. I’m glad to see that I’m nearer to the front of the book this time. ;-) And by the way, I take both books with me during my business travels and show them to potential clients. Hopefully I can steer a few orders your way.

Steve Love

Your June 2006 issue is even more impressive than the prior two I’ve read. More stories, more poems, and I do believe the paper is of a higher grade. I’ve already read half the stories in this issue, and you and your editor show discerning taste in choosing which stories to publish. I thank you for including mine in such high quality company.

Leon Barnes

I did receive it. What a wonderful journal you have!

Ron Savage

Yes, I did. The issue looks terrific. Thank you for your work.

I did receive my order—am very much pleased and excited. Again, thanks for considering my work worthy of publication.

I’ve received all 4 HC TMR on 6/30 in perfect condition The books binding and construction are of very high quality. Its cover art by ‘LadyMagic’ is graphically intriguing and colorful. My having read several hours of its amazing content, eagerly, upon their arrival. I’m more than thankful to you both for selecting my art, poetry and storied Reflections. Having been published with as many a worldly kindred spirit, has me all the more humble and musely encouraged. My sincere congratulations to all of Cyberwit staff for their combined, creative efforts. June ’06 Taj Mahal Review has surly evolved to become one of its own, unique literary classic.

Louie Levy

Well your latest TAJ MAHAL has arrived and I must say it is your best issue ever. Of course I haven’t read everything yet, there is much to read and savor so it will be done over time. The photographs are excellent, particularly of Bebu!!!! Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Johnny Santiago

The June issue looks wonderful. Many thanks. I was particularly impressed with and moved by the editor’s comments in the beginning about poetry—bless you all! I hope you will consider publishing more of my work, as submitted, in your anthologies. When I’m back at the university, I will try to get some of your publications into the library.

Fran Shaw

Thank you for your note. Yes, I did receive my copy of the June 2006 issue of Taj Mahal Review. As usual, the layout, printing and contents were first-class, as was the very speedy delivery time. I again commend you for your excellent work in this field.

Tony Donovan

I received the June 2006 issues of Taj Mahal four days ago. in excellent condition. My family and neighbor enjoy these books.. This issue was exceptionally great... had such a variety of goodies in it.

Del Senkbeil

Your lovely Taj Mahal Review just arrived and is a beautiful production. Many thanks for using my work in it again. I shall enjoy the Mary Barnet book too; thank you for that.

Patricia Wellingham-Jones

To all the editors and staff at Cyberwit, many thanks for this beautiful issue. I am proud to have my work included.

Vera Searles

Hope this finds you well. Yes, I did, thanks. It was wonderful. I really appreciate having my artwork published along with such fine artists and writers.

MaKayla Songer

The June issue of Taj Mahal Review arrived in good condition. It sure is a "big" book. I have given it a look through and it promises to be a good and varied reading again. Thanks for including my poem. It is nice to read from all those people all over the world. Indeed one wonders why there is so much misunderstanding when also books like this can be put together. I also want to thank you for the extra book. I wonder if you hand picked this one as it is from another dutch woman. I did not read the whole book yet but her poetry and the way she started writing in english, resembles my own. What I read so far I liked a lot. And guess what, she is from a town very near to where I live. I wonder if you could get her permission to give me an e-mail or other contact details. Or if I could write her a short note through your publishing house if you would be so kind to pass it on.

Anja Wellen

Dear Santosh, first of all let me congratulate you on another magnificent (June 2006) issue of TMR, it is a treasure trove of literature and the hardcover book is impressive. I also liked the artwork very much, it is varied and original. This magazine should be given a major award in the anglo-saxon literary arena. Did you ever try to submit it for this purpose? I also want to thank you Kumar, for your excellent review on Oh Zaperetta! It warmed my heart inasmuch as people like the series very much. Then too thank you for your own Helicon chapbook. The antiterror poems are very telling, full of empathy and justified anger, especially after the bombs that wreaked so much carnage and havoc in Mumbai. But these evil people sow hate and destruction all over the world. Will there ever be a stop to their madness? I really doubt it.

Albert Russo

Yes, I have received the June issue of TMR and as usual the stories, poems and overall design are most impressive. The cover design is particularly remarkable and the length, nearly 500 pages, makes this edition an outstanding bargain.

John Cuetara

Yes, I most certainly did receive June, Taj and it was, as always a beautiful piece of literature and art. I am at www.jbstillwater.com

Janet K. Brennan

I got the book so fast. I unwrapped it and I was so happy. My art was very fine printed and choosen. And hole book is well worth reading.

Pepita Selles

Thanks much for the latest issue of Taj Mahal Review. What a fine collection of literary gems! Looks as if I have my work cut out for me! I hope things are well in your corner of the world. Once again it is a privilege to be counted among your stable of writers. Please continue.

WS ("Bill") Mayo

It will take me awhile to get through all the stories and poems! The people at my post office thought it was great to receive something from India. My friend’s grandsons inherited the packing box because they had never seen stamps from India.

Ronda Del Boccio

I have indeed received the June edition of The Taj Mahal Review and I am delighted with it. It is exceptional in every way. I hope to appear in future editions of this world class publication.

Sandra Fowler

I did receive the TMR June 2006 issue, containing my short story - "JOURNEY TO THE CORNERS OF THE EARTH: Encounter in a Chapultepec Forest". Thank you so much. Your literary journal is exquisite, and I am so proud to be published in such a distinguished international literary journal. This has inspired me in my literary writing. Hopefully, this will help me to finish my doctoral dissertation. I am really impressed with the different art pieces published in the art section of your June 2006 issue. The paintings and photos are so beautiful, so aesthetically touching and meaningful. But I would like to make a helpful suggestion to you. In light of the ongoing terrible tragedy in the Middle East such as Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine and other areas of the world, I would like to recommend that you place more emphasis on literary contributions that stress peace, justice, human rights, and reconciliation. In Dr. Noam Chomsky’s brilliant, charismastic visionary book - "Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance" - he articulates so eloquently that humankind is at a crossroads in which if we do not something fairly soon about the frightening trend towards violence like wars; increasing destruction of the environment; ethnic, religious, racial, and linguistic conflicts; proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, mounting militarization; globalization such as the spread of neo-colonialism and imperialism, and so forth, humankind/homo sapiens is faced with frightening possibility of extinction, including the destruction of our precious planet. I personally feel and believe that the world is accelerating in that dangerous trend that could ultimately result in an Armageddon; if we do not do something drastically to reverse that trend that could quite possibly spin out of control. In conclusion, it is absolutely imperative FOR US to take the necessary steps collectively to prevent that ultimate global holocaust and make this a much more humane and blessed world; and we DO have the power to do so collectively. Thank you so much for your kind inquiry and friendship. I appreciate your literary journal so much, and I do hope to continue to contribute to it.

Praise For Taj Mahal Review
(VOLUME 5 NUMBER 1 JUNE 2006)

 

I have just received my copy of the December 2005 issue of The Taj Majal Review. Thank you so much for exceptionally quick service. This issue appears to be the best yet. I especially liked the increased spacing between lines which makes it very easy to read. I don’t know how you manage to bring out such an outstanding product at a price of only $16.00, considering that the price includes the air mail registered postage. That’s almost giving it away.

Tony Donovan

Today the book volume 4 number 2 december 2005 came into my hands... i did also appreciate the photo of the waterfalls - where i was born waterfalls are a manifold joy rushing spectacle - meranoaltoadige in bella italia. i received two more books today - so i will have ample time to spend myfestive times abrowsing enjoy warm and quiet restive festive time i sign with a wideopenskydecemberlondonsmile of gratitude. i am reading all the stories and poems and admire the art work again and again and i think u are doing a great job - ur secret seems to be that u enjoy editing and publishing and it is a pity there are so many hills and valleys between us - but - alas - there is imagination realm...

xandal danzabel

I just received my copy of Taj Mahal Review in the mail and wanted to write and tell you how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for including my piece in with the work of some truly gifted writers. I have been reading the other stories and poems and enjoying them immensely. Also, the second journal, Voice of the Phoenix, is equally fascinating to read. 

Chloe Noland 

I received both copies and am very satisfied. 

Boris Tsessarsky

The volumes arrived yesterday. They look beautiful. I look forward to enjoying the artwork and reading the poetry and stories. Thank you also for including "Voice Of The Phoenix". 

Elliot Satsky

Truly, Dr. Kumar, Mr. Agrawal, and all your staff, The Taj Mahal Review is as packed full of interesting reading as it is beautiful. Once again your hard work has resulted in a terrific contribution to world literature. Many, many thanks (including even a small thanks for the excellent packaging of the book which allowed it to survive its long postal journey in fine condition) for all of your efforts.

G.K. Wuori

Thanks for the follow-up, Karunesh. Not only is all fine here, but I received my copies of TMR and I shipped them to various friends who like to read. 

Leon

Yes, I did receive my copies of TMR Dec. 05—and I am pleased with the results. 

Rich

Yesterday, I received the book, and it’s beautiful. Again, thank you very much for selecting my story " Under a San Francisco Sky" for publication.

Ernest Alonzo 

Yes, I received it the other day. A funny thing to be published in India, after living in Bombay/Mumbai for a year in 2001-02. :) I’ve told our friends there about the Taj Mahal Review, and am eager to read the work of the others you’ve included.

J Lyons

Yes, I received everything in great condition.

J Turner

Taj Mahal Review is a wonderful magazine, and I’m very thrilled to be a part of it. I’ve read several of the stories and enjoyed each of them. Thanks again for making my story a part of TMR. 

C.S. Watts

It’s a nice looking book; well done on the layout and design. I’m working through the stories now — I’ve recognized a couple authors, like the dark atmosphere. Proud to be part of it. Keep up the good work.

Andy Henion

I am very impressed with the issue so far. 

L A Hutson

Oh, yes, I did receive my books and they were just beautiful, as always. I can’t tell you how proud I am to be a part of such a "giving" publication. I look forward to working with you in the years to come.

J Brennan

Another fine issue! I especially thought that the colour plates layed side by side with some of the poetry was just stunning. And please thank Santosh for his thoughtful Christmas card.

A. Alan Beck

I need apologize for my reaction to what I had first seen of the cover online thinking that the best half of my photo was cropped for the front cover. I love what you’ve had done with the wrap around over the binding and onto the back. The print quality finely compliments the original. I’m very proud to have it appear on TMR. Please feel free to forward me any comments given the cover and, or my writing. Also honored to have 5 of my favorite poems on 7 pages accepted and so finely printed and formatted. Making it also available in hardcover beautifully enhances its wonder filled content.The much improved packaging resulted in all books arriving in perfect condition. Packaging 6 TMR seems to be the perfect size and weight for its safe handling enroute. What with having my fussy portrait artistry commenting Possibly enlarging your photo 2-3 X and insisting that your printer improve its pictoral resolution. I like your color photo in ‘Harvests’, Attractively enlarged some will all the more compliment your brilliant Editorials. Should I ever brave a voyage to visit you all in India. I would have you all pose for a deserving group portrait that would appear somewhere within Cyberwits pages. just a few ideas ...out yonder to ponder from out here in So. California

Suggestion;

It would be very encouraging to have an ongoing ONLINE ‘Comment to Contributors’ page that we can read and an email to thank the readers. Interactions will most certainly encourage subscriptions and an opportunity to make new friends. Hopefully, all efforts will help TMR’s ‘Earthy’ Peaceful contents be judged by its inviting cover. I’m delighted of having my photo art embrace the front and back cover of your wonder filled Dec’ 05 TMR issue. Appearing, are five of my poems, proudly contented, among the many talented writers. Cyberwit continues to dedicate and academically publish worldwide for Peace, Empathy and Goodwill. Soulful inspires that have its contributors and readers support its premise for Earths Rescue. For as long I’m given the spiritualness of mind and aging body, my sincere efforts will strive to support its existence Thankful to our Chief Editor, Dr Santosh Kumar, its entire staff and productive facilities. Please help subscribe as loving gifts for the New Year.

Louie Levy 

It’s a beautiful book with a lot of interesting fiction in it. I’m read some of the stories already and have quite a few more to go. It’s so impressive the amount of diversive fiction you’re able to deliver from a vast pool of writers. I’m very happy to be part of your book. 

Elad Haber

I am enjoying it. It’s refreshing to read, unusual in these times. 

Richard Krawiec

It is beautiful. Congratulations. 

Airton Adami and family. 

Thank you so much for again using my work in Taj Mahal Review. You made an elegant production of the poem superimposed on the photo and the whole volume is handsome indeed.

Patricia Wellingham-Jones

I am so sorry I have not written you sooner. My work schedule has been crazy, and I have no access to e-mail there. I did receive the Review, and it is lovely!! It has introduced me to so many new writers. Thank you again so very much for including me in your wonderful journal. It has opened another door on the world for me. 

Eugenia Hepworth Petty 

What one knew on Thursday,
by Friday, with grace, another found out.
On Monday the first re-assesses,
by Tuesday both are in doubt.
But this questioning makes fail, only that work love does not do.
Then, if, like the ‘..Review’ love senses its own presence,
extent of good work shows equal love’s due.
I received, read the opening pages and dived-in here and there in the Review, am quite glad to be part and plan to spend quality time with.

Joseph Duvernay

I just glanced thru it, but I am sure it is going to be a great one to read... for those who like poetry and those who like to read short stories.. I like to read both since I used to write short stories too. I always give a copy to an elderly lady who lives next door.. She loves your publications and reads them from cover to cover and then gives them to her children to read. Thanks also for HELICON, Santosh’s book.. I am sure I will enjoy it.

Luv, Del

I received the two books and was delighted to see how beautifully you handled my work. From the attractive covers to the inspiring content your project was flawless. I’m honored to have been included in such an excellent publication. Just wanted you to know that everyone who sees Taj Mahal is very complimentary. You certainly did a splendid job of producint an outstanding book. 

Barbara Anton

They are beautiful and it’s a real pleasure to read all these very good stories. 

Eric Tessier

I did receive the Taj Mahal Review and it looks great! Thank you! 
Also many thanks for the enclosed picture of the waterfall.

Tanya Underwood

I did indeed receive it, and it was wonderful. And I put the little picture of the waterfall on my bulletin board, heh. I will spread a good word about you guys. I hope your new year has started out well. 

Jessie Erikson

I’m sorry, I thought I had mentioned that it came, yes it is here and a fine read from cover to cover, thanks for having me in there,

Michael Estabrook

I received the Review and was very impressed by the production quality as well as the contents. Cyberwit has done an excellent job!
