Dear anonymous
Hi! Why have parents taken the pain to christen you with a unique beautiful name? For you like being anonymous!
What a hats off article you wrote, what a point you raised. Your name is bound to attract so much fame
But ooh! you signed in as anonymous!
Such a humble creature you are
No name game, believing all are the same
What matters is the article, the craft of which you skillfully maneuvered.
But that "You" would remain a mystery, people would fight to get this identity.
You, the poor creator, don't be sad. Be happy you have got the skill, rest are all the jealous no-good lads
ooh you are upset, you needed the applause
then dear anonymous why get a mask when you possess a beautiful face.
"Fear is the only thing to be feared", why be afraid?
The anonymous claims "Ha! thats makes me fearless, you fool"
"I scrible my muse, bash a few and still people would have no cue"
Ooh thou anonymous
Why get a mask to feel free
Bash what you dislike, say what you feel
Let writing define you. don't hide behind the veil.
I have committed a sin
The heart is heavy
I lament. i mourn
of the misdeeds i carry
with paper-pen at rescue, i let the emotions wipe
and then apprehensive of the judging eyes
I let my-self hide
People 'll typecast me
Ooh yes! they 'll do
"What a traitor he is, to leave that friend in queue"
Or "What an unrealistic man to dream of an utopia and world full of hue"
I know i am imperfect, a dreamer too
I have a grey side
have committed sins too
Doesn't writing ease away that guilt
Ooh! yes it does
then why feel the guilt again when its time to reveal who we were!

If I reveal my name, all the words that I said will change their meaning ... neither I fear to be judged nor for the fear of being bashed by others for the thoughts that I express.
but when I write I want to detach myself from all the external factors and just want to be free from all the complexities associated with identity!!
Will you leave all the anonymous in peace? Stuti? Mallu? n other "names" ...
I took names ... mind it!!
however high you may think of yourself in your mind but once you know that a post is written by a 25 year old male from Pakistan the meaning will change. You will not give enough weight to the words spoken by someone in 10th class than someone 40 even if the 40 year old don't know shit about anything. Won't you? And this will affect your future interactions ... you are born biased and will die biased. You have biases based on region, religion, gender and what not ...
Get over this anonymous thing ... kids!! .... :P
I don't want to leave any mark anywhere ... I am mischievous ... :P

hello everyone
@visiting faculty first, i agree we are all biased, how much ever we may claim the opposite, deep inside we judge ppl every second. so point taken. Secondly virtual world gives us a liability of discretion. And hell y to discreet even, here at wb words built up all identity not the description at "Few words about me". ur talent, ur words have the power to break through that biases-ness even if ppl develop them. WB has ppl of all ag group and varied religion. i haven't experienced till now any discrimination among them. rather words have united souls.
after saying that all, i admit i have too used that veil too and as u framed it rightly it detach urself from all the external factors, it does.yes!!
but then y cant we be secure with our identity. why cant be adopt that outook wen being our real self. i have no answer to it. i love turning anonymous too but then it frustrates the reader. i have experienced that today with flocks of good article signed as anonymous!

here wen i first entered, i read a post by Srijan, Why there is no option of profile pic and wud never be. 'cause writing shud make that image. smtimes out of curiousity i do check ppl on fb, and the high opinion they hold in my mind fluctuates. i judge them on the likes they get, yes i do. and wenever i try doing it. a little rational part of the brain makes me conscious and i close that tab! their words matter, not their outlook!

If you remove the option of anonymity there will be less number of such posts ... which otherwise the author would have written being anonymous ... agree or not?
many people don't know actually how good they write when they start off ... anonymity help them in starting off ... and your generous feedback motivate them to write better ... no one actually knows when they are writing for the first time ... sometimes they express their deepest and darkest secret ... a heartbreak ... a breakup story ... a rant ...
you may not be able to relate to that feeling because you write so good ... you should be a little more understanding .... people from across the globe join us ... from all parts of India ... small big towns ... It may sound cool to talk of the high morals of being unbiased and being fearless, but the value to being fearless lies only when you are doing something you are not good at ... or at-least you think you are not good at ... everyone cannot read this post first when they come here and be fearless and confident ....
confidence only comes when you are good at something ... there is no other way... at-least you know this.
Top authors of WriterBabu talking about being fearless in writing means nothing to me. I can relate to this feeling because I never wrote before I came here ... my first post was a sad story about myself which was anonymous ... I was writing not for the beauty of the language but just because I needed someone to listen ... Now I write mostly with my "name".
Btw one big possibility is that many would have forgotten to make their post public ... that should be rectified ... :P

and still we can't just let it be and worry 'couse its in our nature to worry about.... something.

if we see all names are nothing but artificial assertions, in realty all of us in our true natural form nameless ie Anonymous.....

true, but then these artificial assertions give/govern our identity, don't they?
consider a situation where there re no names, all being in there natural form, nameless (as u say) how wud there be the list of top 20 authors, all there wud be 1. anonymous
2. anonymous nd so on. name gives us identity, our characteristics get attached to it. Ieshan M writes beautifully, or xyz is d author of the post, these sentences wouldn't have made sense without those artificial assertions. we need them to get going! get credit for our work and get a recognition in the society.

Your name doesn't give you your identity... that it self is the wrong premises to start with... you give identity to your name.... and there are numerous other intelligible ways to assert top 20 writers which it self is an artificial purpose. Ieshan_M would write beautifully even when he/she isn't ieshan_M... (how beautifully I write is debatable though) my being is not accentuated by my name. My identity or individuality doesn't depend or would dissolve without a name... And moreover in arts and literature what's created or written is more important than who writes or creates it... and being anonymous it self is a mark of identity, a rose would smell equally sweet even when there's no one to smell or name it "a rose"... Names are just a matter of convenience nothing more... as things and we humans would have still remained the same even without names.......

Anonymous is good at times. You can share things without the fear of being judged....
