You've already won me over in spite of me, And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet



I love having endless cups of tea in office. I like having a cup right after lunch. Sometimes I feel guilty and switch to coffee, just to give Madan (the office boy) more variety.

Have being having a busy and fun time. The other day in the middle of the hustle bustle, a long lost cousin, whom I was never particularly close to called and downloaded. Was having some trouble and wanted an ear, a shoulder and a heart. I was willing to drop everything and be there. Learnt an important lesson. So many times we feel all alone. And very lonely. And really all we have to do is ask for help- pick up the phone and call. Ironically, amongst the hardest things to do for most of us is to make that call.

Extra ordinary people are completely capable of having ordinary needs.
Unreasonable requests come from reasonable people.

very similar thing happened to me recently. someone i'm not particularly close to was having a rough day and suddenly started opening up to me. the worst thing was that i had no idea what the right thing to say was and just stood there saying, "yeah..i know..."

god, i'm so dumb!

by the way, i think you forgot an "n" in taara's blogspot address.

Lemmoon...
i cant say it emphatically enough... please do not keep disappearing.

Of course its ok... i'm most flattered.

And yes, its hard to open up, but sometimes it just backfires...you get a "yeah...i know...." response (Pink... wink wink lol), or worse still u get dependent. Then it sux!

Where is the love? Connections or the lack thereof. People feel alone and delete themselves.

Am obsessed with the topic now. Just read Darkness Visible by William Styron (you may like it).

I like your use of the word "downloaded". :) Very novel. You're a writer, lemon!

I love the whole, "Extra ordinary......" line.. brilliant and so very very true. Sometimes its just a matter of reaching out or even just being there.
Love the picture too..
