  "Firstly, time to celebrate. Aarthy R is back. So, a few YAYs! to mark her return to FlickrGlory.
  
  I think it was over a year ago that I first saw the wonder that's Aarthy's photos. Hooked on, I kept coming back to it, hoping she would post a new one daily. Finally, some 3 months after silently lurking around, I started commenting. And what an experience that has been.
  
  Awesome photographs.
  Awesome-r comments. Great conversations. And funny too. About 85% of my addiction to flickr can be easily attributed to her stream and her comments.
  
  Thanks Aarthy, for making Flickr a great place to hang out
  This is one photographer hard to ignore.
  
  -
  It's been a few months now since I wrote this testimonail. Time for an update.
  Since the last time around, I've come to known Aarthy a lot more, have had a wonderful, super time just silently watching her photostream and getting sorely depressed and jealous.
  Yo Aarthy, you rock. You are a magnificent inspiration and bucketloads of fun.
  
  --
  Update as on February 28, 2009.
  I find that as the days go and as I get to know Aarthy better, she only turns more fun and more inspiring.
  And that I am, obsessive compulsively, made to update this little piece of gushing non-fiction. Never mind.
  
  So, I met this wonderful person about 6 months ago and she was all that she seems to be. And funnier in person than even I imagined.
  And in 6 months hence, one supposes, she'll get funnier still. And inspiring-er even.
  If I am not talking about her photography yet, there's a reason. You don't need me to tell you. You can spend hour after mesmerising hour lost in the world of her photos and count the number of times you will have to curse flickr for not allowing multiple faves of the same photo.
  
  I shall not try to come up with a funny/interesting conclusion to the preceding paragraphs yet. No point, for I shall come back soon to write more about Aarthy and her photos."

  "பொண்ணா பொறந்தா அது மாதிரி இருக்கணும்ணு நான் சொல்வேன்.
  
  தன்னையே இப்படி விதவிதமா மேக்கப் செஞ்சு பாக்கிறதுக்கும், ரசிக்கறதுக்கும் ஒரு தனி ரசனை வேணும். அது ஆர்த்திகிட்ட கொட்டிக்கிடக்கு.
  
  நிச்சயம், ஆர்த்தி ஒரு தன்னம்பிக்கை நிறைஞ்ச ஒரு பொண்ணா இருப்பா என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை. நிறைய பெண்களை சந்திக்கிறேன். அவர்களோடு எப்போதும் நான் ஆர்த்தியை ஒப்பிட்டுப் பார்க்கிறேன்.
  
  சிலரிடம் நேரிடையாகவும், சிலரிடம் மறைமுகமாகவும் ஆர்த்தியின் ரசனை பற்றிக் குறிப்பிடுவேன். இன்னொரு பெண்ணைப் பற்றிப் புகழ்வதாலோ என்னவோ கேட்பவர்கள் அதை பெரிதாய் கண்டுகொண்டதாகத் தெரியவில்லை.
  
  என்னைப் பொறுத்தளவில் "அழகு" என்கிற ஒற்றை வார்த்தைக்கு ஆர்த்தியும் ஒரு ரோல் மாடல்."

  "I consider Aarthy to be one of the greatest friends I've met on flickr...in life, period.
  She's dorky, silly and whimsical and you see that thru her pictures.

  "Some people just take good photos. Well, Aarthy is not like some people. Not only does she take fantastic photos, but she interacts with the people in life and online that give her photos even more life than they already have...and someone like that is hard to find."

  "I think its high time i wrote this testimonial for Aarthy since ive known her for quite sometime now. If there is one person who kicks as with her humor its aarthy, this fact is undeniable. Go to her stream, check her contacts and the pics she comments on and you will be cracking in a matter of minutes. I don't intend to talk of her photographic skills since enough people have said lots about it already, i will simply second them all. What i wish to talk about here is the kind of conversations that you would have on a routine comment she posts on your pictures. They way she puts forward "i like this picture" will stand out amidst a 100 comments. That's aarthy for starters. She can see fun on things that most people cant see any sense at all, that according to me is a gift not everybody is in possession of. Again there are pictures of hers that she has done extensive post production on, photoshop to name one... you MUST check out these pictures. This will tell you how much of patience, dedication and skill she has into doing what she is good at."

  "Aarthy is one of the friendliest people on Flickr. Her photographs range from the beautifully artistic to the just-for-fun snap-shots, and everything in between. They're all worth seeing. She's always got time to comment on other's photos (where does she find the time, really?). She's a bright light on Flickr. Her unique cultural perspective helps to broaden my horizons, too."

  "Now, let me tell you about my new flickr friend Aarthyr. First thing. Now, go & look at her "favorites" then come back & continue reading this. Really, go!.
  
  OK, back already, good. Notice anything unusual there? People. Many People. This woman loves people, & it show's. I have not come across anyone here that saves as many pics of "People" rather than "Places" as favorites! Surely the sign of a person with deep empathy & feelings for her fellow Martians, I mean Earthlings, sorry.
  
  So, she has a big Heart, & it shows in other ways too. Hands up all the peolple who give themselves a little smile everytime they see that Aarthyr has flitted through thier photostream again, like some little cyperpixie. Leaving warm & heartfelt comments of encouragement & joy? Hold on, too many hands up for me to count at once...
  
  As for her OWN photographs (I'm only getting to them now & this is already the LONGEST Testimonial I have ever been moved to compose! well, they are just simply wonderful, witty, & full of Mystery & Beauty are they not?).
  
  Her self portraits especially strike a chord with me & resonate endlessly. So many people (women epecially, sorry girls!)post very egofied, self indulgent shots of themselves here in flickr. Aarthyr's self portraits come from a different place. Deeper. Primevil almost. Scary sometimes with thier intensity. Always engaging & magnificent.
  
  Need I carry on?
  
  You are probably an Aarthyr Fan already, so I am probably preaching to the converted. If you have just come here to her Profile Page for the first time, then I STRONGLY urge you to stay right where you are. Click on her photostream & get lost in Aarthyr's World. It will be worth every second of your time.
  
  Aarthyr, you are beautiful inside & out, & your inner beauty is transferred down through your camera lens direct to us, & we thank you for it...
  
  Stay Free aarthy, always, you are special...
  
  She also laughs at my jokes.

  "If you'd like to be: awestruck, amazed, amused and touched, often all at once, then you have come to the right place. Aarthyr uses technical acumen and humanity equally and this is what gives her work such impact."

  "Aarthy shows the power of photography even when shorn of all technicalities and golden rules. She proves conclusively it is not the camera or its specs but the person behind that makes a great photograph.
  
  Her stream is a delight bursting with quirky shots, lively banter, harmless flirts and some brilliant photographs. The language used has a rhythm of its own and life found nowhere else.
  
  Great stream to visit if you want a healthier alternative to Prozac. Keep going Aarthy."
