Did you notice the thing above ( http://charuonline.com/june08/zeroleela1.html ) all the words letters begin with an A.
Not only that, even my post title attempted that with thanks :-)

There was supposed to be no I in this novel, but there are 6 of them, out of which on the constraint of not using I, is violated only is 2 places. Not bad for a 100000+ words novel. My "Oh My Family!" novel, written in 1995, has in regular A4 formatting of 165 pages at 2000 to 2500 words/pages totaling amazing 400006 words. I am working on the Tamil version as well, and will imprint it once the English version publishes.
My dad an avid reader, found about this from Dr Chari at Kotagiri. (both are no more, and never heard about it till now I read on charuonline.com)
என்னைப்பற்றி.... சுவாரசியாமாயிருக்க... பார்க்கலாம்... விஜயசங்கர். Read about my thoughts in Tamil & English (some may call it ramblings).

All and A - Alphabetical Africa
Ages ago, Allen and Alva arrived in Antibes, and Alva allowing all, allowing anyone, against Alex's admonition, against Allen's angry assertion:another African amusement . . . anyhow, as all argued, an awesome African army assembled and arduously advanced against an African anthill,assiduously annihilating ant after ant, and afterward, Alex astonishingly accuses Albert as also accepting Africa's antipodal ant annexation. Albert argumentatively answers at another apartment. Answers: ants areameisen. Ants are ameisen?
