For all those of you who are thinking that K n K is out of action or The Konfessioners out of their mind... Let me inform you that your thought processes are going in a totally wrong action.
Since the day K n K was started, we have recieved an overwhelming response and thus we are humbled. But, We, as individuals have been extremely caught up with our day-to-day lives.
We have been recieving suggestions from all nooks and korners; some for improvisation, some for komplementing, some for kriticizing and some just for the heck of it.
So, almost 9 weeks of our inception and a plethora of (At the risk of sounding immodest) brilliantly written articles, we have decided to take a small break.
The reasons for taking this break are...
1. Basically we want the new readers to get themselves acquainted to the Konfessioners styles of writing, see who works for them, who doesnt work for them and why and then give us a bit of valuable feedback.
2. We, want the old readers who have been faithfully reading one of the Konfessioners to read the others. For eg: If you have been closely following Shin-Shin's work, give a shot to Sarang and yours truly, see if either of us works for you or not and why and give us your valuable feedback as well.
3. We are planning to change the look of K n K, making it more user friendly, more not-boring and basically more Stylish, Sleek and Sexy.
When would all this happen? Pretty soon i say.
Till then what do you people do?
Well, you can listen to me and follow points 1 and 2.
If you dont fall in both the categories, you very well know what you should be doing...
We are kontinuing the Konfession Korner.... www.konfessionkorner.blogspot.com
One word a week, a few Kool writers and a flash in 120 words... Thats THE KLASH OF THE KONFESSIONERS for you.
The word this week for the Klash is NAKED. You kan send us your entries in 120 words on or before Thursday night, 8 p.m.
And then there are a few exciting Koncepts we are bringing on K n K... like the Karma Kanvas and the Kollage of Karma.
Adios till then all ya faithful bloggers.
K n K will be back... and freakin soon.
Hold back your horses and kontinue to Konfess, kriticize, komment and KLASH!

Bustle, that’s the word, for KnK bustles this week with many interesting reads. From an unfinished tale to a poignant question and a sentimental Konfession to a beautiful expression, there is much to hook you up.
We understand that a lot of our readers don't have the time and sometimes the inclination to read up the variety here... so we've made it easy for you, you can enjoy short konfessions at the "Klash of the Kofessioners", updated every week on Thursdays. Watch the konfessioners and the other brave knights and ladies (are you one of them?) battle for the best konfession on one word. Last week it was "illusion", check out what everyone had to say at
http://www.klashknk.blogspot.com/
So you think you could do it better?? mail us!! komment!!
Amandeep Singh Parmar, shakes the Konfession Korner with a raised voice asking a question that will make you think. Through The Comforts of Retribution, this talented youngster from Delhi touches a topic that troubles many Indians directly or indirectly.
Prerna has an honest Konfession to make, about the complexities of relationships and moments of joy and sorrow. This young woman from Singapore offers you this week an emotional tale, Puppy Love Set on Fire that will directly relate to the most readers.
Nikhil Mahajan returns this week, and he returns with the much-awaited remainder of his tale Two Minds. Lakshmaiyyah, the tsunami-affected father, passes through a wave of opposite emotions. Surely, the readers awaiting this instalment will not wait further.
Shinjini Singh unveils another gem from her treasure of literature, her letter to the poet, the second part of the series. She conjures up a dreamy afternoon with her eloquent words and vivid expressions. A must read for her followers and all the lovers of literature.
From my side, I am offering Dark Verses, a wild imagination for the fantasy lovers.

Happy Independence Week everyone!
Storming all the way, KnK stumbles into the fifth week. The responsibility to greet you all and unwrap the fifth issue falls in my hands, and that’s why the stumble. I apologize for a somewhat delayed launch this week.
Before beginning the introductions to this week’s articles, I’d love to mention that the whole KnK team is grateful to its readers for welcoming Shinjini Singh’s last-week article with warmth and keeping the hit counter ever updated for the Konfession Korner, where the wonderful posts by Mekhala from USA and Jennie from England featured.
Gracing this week the Konfession Korner with a wonderful and meditative verse, A Drop of Life, is Mallika Mehra, the lady from Pune, Maharasthatra. I am sure the readers will explore her work just as eagerly as they have of the previous Konfessioners. And doing so… they will be treating themselves.
Shinjini Singh opens a big, enticing door on a succulent treasure for the lovers of literature with the first part of what promises to be a moving series, My Letters to a Poet. Take a dreamy stroll with her this week and loose yourself in a beautiful world of words, thoughts and stirring human emotions.
My story, The Sculptures of Mist, will continue into the concluding part. I hope the readers who have read the first part will be sufficiently eager to know what happens of Ivan and Maria, their mother and yes, off course, the hopeless, old man. The Russian adventure continues.
Followers of our third Komrade, the Screenwriter, Nikhil Mahajan, will miss him this week, as he finds himself entangled in the shoot of a Marathi film. Accept his sincere apologies. However, he will return next week with the remainder of his tale, Two Minds.

We enter in the second week of Karma n Konfessions with a lot to talk about in the future...
Our Government of 'DEMOCRATIC' India had stripped us of our right to speech for a while by disabling blogs because of which K n K was in the midst of serious survival issues.
Anyways as Darwin had theorised 'Only the fittest survive, K-n-K has and we are back with another rockin edition.
We have for you, Shinjini writing another intelligent article about 1972 and Flash forwards which will make for an excellent read on a lazy afternoon.
We have the by-now-highly-popular Sarang Mahajan coming up with his next story. What is it about...? Look for yourselves... maybe it is better than the absolutely spine-chilling and highly acclaimed Rangmahal Adventure...
Maybe reminds me of the culmination of my story last week. That also will be uploaded by Monday afternoon.
Last but not the least, we have had a fantastic response for the Konfession Korner with almost 50 mails coming in from all corners of the country. But we had to be content with three articles.
Two of which have been uploaded and the third one will be up by tomorrow along with the part 2 of Maybe.

What is Karma n Konfessions?
Well I can clearly see the anticipation in your eyes post the suspense created about KnK....
The question on everybody's mind is...
What is Karma n Konfessions?
On the behalf of my fellow companions, the absolutely stunning Shinjini and my truly brilliant brother, Sarang... I, Nikhil, am doing the needful by letting you know what exactly Karma n Konfessions is.
Well it was a rainy afternoon a few weeks back. Sarang and I were sitting at the latter’s place doing nothing consequential - something we brothers are adept at. For those who do not know us on a one-to-one basis, we are cousins, but we share a bond stronger than real brothers. We both are into writing, though of diametrically opposite genres. He is a fantasy novelist and I am a Screenwriter. Both of us are extremely lazy and have been forced to stand outside our door just coz we had been extremely lazy to open it.
We were under the impression that there cannot be another lazy writer as us, until the day we met the beautiful Shinjini. Shin-Shin, what I fondly call her, is a freelance journalist with the Indian Express, Lucknow, and easily the most popular of the three…
Orkut happened, Sarang met Shinjini, I met her through him… and rest as they say… is history.
I can now safely say you people know all the three Konfessioners pretty well. So coming back to the rainy afternoon, we, Sarang and I, were talking about something stupid as usual when this idea of a group blog struck me. I told it to Sarang who immediately lapped it up. We then decided to rope Shin-Shin in and Volla… Karma n Konfessions was born.
Yes, people, it’s not a movie, not a book but a blog. I on behalf of the Konfessioners promise that it will be a highly entertaining piece of literature. As of now, we are keeping it plain and simple but in a month’s time K n K is gonna be a highly sophisticated and delicately made blog.
It will be updated every Sunday with new articles from Shinjini, Sarang and I. We would also like people to send in their own konfessions to us via mail and we will put up a select few, really rocking konfessions in the Konfession Korner.
As we kick-start the blog tonight as promised, we have a true-life, thrilling experience written by Sarang and a highly literary post by Shin-Shin (only what you can expect from her).
My article will be uploaded by afternoon on Saturday the 15th. What will it be about? Well, let us keep some surprises intact.
I sincerely hope you love every bit of Karma n Konfessions. We are working very hard to make it perfect, but any bit of suggestion is highly welcome. Get ready for the ultimate blogging experience… presenting the first-of-its kind multiple blog…
Karma ‘n’ Konfessions.
