just saw a video documentary on the terrorist attacks. brings the truth so much closer to you.
Time has a great ability to erode memories, weaken feelings. This was a good reminder.

Do watch

it rained, finally!!

wow, the euphoria!!

first it the tell-tale tap-tap sound, then the sight of droplets pouring down..oh what beauty, short lived but full of hope and relief

remember last year, similar post, just a day or two before cfa; same thing this time around. wish me luck for sunday

girls: the way they think

usually, guys are chivalrous towards their female friends (i mean friends from the opposite sex, and not girlfriends) and help them out proactively in situations where they wouldn't bother if the friend in need was a guy (unless asked by the guy, of course).
my question is - do girls think of this as friends helping friends, or as making use of guys?
just overheard a conversation which made me wonder about this. If the latter is true , even for, say, 25% of the cases, then that's ******

any lateral views?

PS: given the no. of comments on my blog lately, any views at all??

Why do people lie

1. they don't trust you with the information - that you will give out the information to someone whom they don't want to know
2. they don't trust you with the information - that you will misuse it in some way
3. they are not sure if you are telling the truth, so they play safe not to get on the wrong side of the information transaction
4. they trust you, but they do not want to tell you because they think it somehow puts them in bad light
5. they trust you, but they think the information is irrelevant to you and do not want to say no
6. they are plain mean and want to get the info from you without divulging their cards

Anybody wants to add to the list?

a fleeting image

you so desperately want it to be true, for that image to be a part of your life..and you know you are not asking for more, cause it was already there, in some form.
but since it was there, you know it could only lead to destruction, to a void which you could not fill with all your efforts. and now that it is not there, the void is back, a different one, but still there.
what can you do to get rid of it? the void i mean, cause the image, that you are stuck with. one of the harsh catch-22s of my life
