<description><![CDATA[I will never think of this day again without a grin on my face!    After weeks of playing the recluse,I said enough to the boring days of tinkering with the laptop and spending the day just watching out for people who are online, hoping to strike out a conversation or two. Virtual interaction just left me wanting for more company and made me more lonely. So I decided to shake things a bit, get away from the routine and add the zing to my otherwise too staid existence.

<description><![CDATA[i was surprised to realize that i cannot write ANYTHING when im happy :) that i can only write when depressed. this is quite fine by me if you'll ask me.i would definitely prefer to stay this way....unable to write...than be stuck in the dark unable to move and use depression as a tool to write artistically. of late, i've become happy (and shallow) and suprisingly, peace encumbered me. a flicker of suspicion inevitably had itself manifested but i tried shaking the skeptical thoughts away.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An old friend who was in the same university as i was (back in gradeschool and highschool) passed away from heart failure. Worst thing about knowing someone's death is when you're away and helpless just about anything. I didnt even find it out myself. A friend (from the same batch, now residing in Dubai), happened to just have come across the news over Friendster. A common friend posted a bulletin about it and even wrote a blog saying he cannot honor her death as he wasnt even an acquaintance<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>
