ESL Blogs

This is on the inspiration I got from Alice's Word Play-2 - 'Idioms on the word 'cut'

Sometimes I receive remarks that I always circle around ‘love’, means that the plot of my stories/blogs is always ‘love’ one way or the other.  Of course they don’t intend to cut me down to size, rather they enjoy my writings.  But it is a fact that it is not always easy to cut the mustard.  I do agree with this remark about me, but I do not like to cut myself of the same cloth.  I want to make it my distinction, my motto or my logo, ‘love’.  I want my readers to be clear cut about me. I feel that avoiding ‘love’ from my blogs is not cut out for me.  Doing so is like cutting me some slack.  It is cut and dried for me to write encircling ‘love’.  It is like a painter, who someway got stuck in his mind a certain face and whenever he tries to paint anything the same face appears on the canvas.  I am not saying that my blogs are cut above the rest, on the contrary, let me cut to the chase, and that ‘love’ is always the bottom line in most of my blogs.  It is not a cut-throat competition for me rather it is just cut and dried because I am always imbibed with love.
