Thanks for being so candid. People must realize that friendship is a verb, that building and sustaining a friendship requires action. Not once or twice a year on special occasions, but on a much, much more regular and sustained basis... Oh, well, I'm sounding like a high falutin' school essay ... :-) .... got to go back to sounding like a real person ;-) My book might not finish in time :-( .... might take another week but I'll finish it.... I guess you're also a delhiite... but probably not someone I know....mind telling me how you got to my blog? It's new and I'd love to find out what sources are providing me with traffic. Thanks. Amit SS,

Oh, well, I’m sounding like a high falutin’ school essay … :-) …. got to go back to sounding like a real person ;-)

My book might not finish in time :-( …. might take another week but I’ll finish it….

I guess you’re also a delhiite… but probably not someone I know….mind telling me how you got to my blog? It’s new and I’d love to find out what sources are providing me with traffic.

Thanks.

I wonder how many of us probably fool ourselves by "trying to maintain friends" one way or other but eventually ending up making all of them, or rather most of them, aquaintances....where is the true essence of friendship gone these days?? I mean there are friends of mine..good friends..who fail to call me..not for a week..not for two weeks..but for months on end..It might sound cliche'd but I call them every now and then..and then they would talk to me for hours..u know, as if they have all the time in the world...Makes me wonder..what is it that holds them back from calling me ? when they can talk to me easily when I call them, why can't they just once call..u know..just on their own..?? ...but they are my friends...i keep on oscillating between these feelings of "being taken for granted" and "leave it, they are my friends" ....only to end up confused, more confused?? I wish they read your blog and take a cue ...btw welcome to Delhi :) A true writeup from the heart, I must say.

I've been trying to write my 1st post on my blog for the last 2 years... This should inspire me...
