(Ex) Terminating the past.

Spent the night at one of my best friend's house. Let's call her 'S'. Talking to her had a way of bringing a dash of amusing, everyday reality into my increasingly surreal life.The combination of two sleepless nights and the continuing acute worry had left her physically and emotionally spent. She was going through the aftermath of a broken relationship. A story she tried not to let herself think...

Nostalgia

There are a lot of things I want to write about. The whimsical restlessness has taken a new dimension and intensity. Reason: I spoke to a long lost friend today, we studied in school together.School years were so much fun. Mondays..always remind of the day the school reopened for a new academic year, and I used to love that smell of new note books covered in brown paper, those new text books dovered...

I think I expect too much, out of peole (is there anything wrong in that?), out of my relationships with everyone, out of life and even myself! There are times when the question pops up in my mind, "What if I am not as good as I think I am"!?! (Ok, I consider myself too good! :-))There are times when one little incident, one small comment gets me berserk and any clairvoyant person can sense it in...

Y am I feeling so outta sorts today? Moi facing the keyboard wondering what is it that I want to say..I am at a loss of words..mebbe it's just one of those times when my brain refuses to churn out thoughts and emotions. It was a tiring day, guess the fatigue multiplies when your psyche aches too! It's just the physical exhaustion combined with a feeling of well being.'Tis was a good week, enjoyed...

Of Mars and Venus : Gender Communication Difference.

I received this forward today, it proves that men and women differ significantly in their styles of communication and this difference has measurable consequences for both of them.What a woman says:"This place is a mess! C'mon,You and I need to clean up,Your stuff is lying on the floorand you'll have no clothes to wear,if we don't do laundry right now!"What a man hears:blah, blah, blah, blah, C'MONblah,...

Should one night stands be forgiven?

[Disclaimer: It's a long post, read it at your risk. Don't say I didn't warn you :-)]It's just about lust. There are no emotions involved. It's 'one' night for crying out loud! I had this conversation with a male counterpart (who happens to be an ex-colleague and a very good friend), who says, or rather justifies that one night's pleasures should be excusable.Me: Anyone in a relationship or marriage...

Each one of us at some point or another believe that the people who care for us will always be there. But it may not be so always. Sometimes to know the value of something you have to lose it, or atleast come close to losing it.Our parents, family and friends are the people with whom we interact everyday. We must realise that there is no guarantee that each of them will be available for us all the...

Resolutions 2005.

As 2005 takes over today, did you actually sit down and make a list of your New Year resolutions - guidelines you want to observe, that reflect the person you want to become, in the year ahead?The procedure is not as passe as some people make it out to be. In fact, resolution lists have other names these days: gratitude lists, wish lists, welcome lists..and so on. But a list by any other name (sorry...
