The unintentional hiatus has gone on for too long.So long that I have almost forgotten what it used to be to be a regular at the Blogspot domain.

I wasn’t particularly busy.I never am for things I like doing.I’d sleep less to make up for lost time.That is just the way I am.

I had so much to say.So much that was going on in my life.So much gained, not much lost.That was a first indeed. I had no words to express my jubilation. What was lost was never mine.More reason to celebrate.

Some life defining decisons were made.The much needed support was found.New perspectives, new definitions.New boundaries, new life styles.Yet…

I can’t say I had no motivation.I wanted to say so much.Yet all attempts failed to express what I really had in mind.I have been visiting all my favourite blogspot spots and not even been able to say anything there.Jeez..Ive never had a tongue-tie so bad.Thank god for stat counters.You know I was visiting you.Was just not saying anything.

There was so much muddle around,that I even had a headache.Very unusual for me to be bothered by headaches.I think headaches are just a few chemical signals to the brain, trying to tell the body to slow down, may be in thought, action or even emotions.I like giving my body a chance to fight the real issue at hand.

What better way to fight the muddle, headache,mental block than talk to the very people who understand you best.Who don’t need so many words to know what you are really going on about.Funny that at a time like this I should get a call from some one at Paddington station.Exact same place I have met them only once before.Amazing how they seem to understand you even without really knowing you.

But then this whole knowing some one in entirety is humbug I think.Will rant about it some other time.May be.Don’t really want another headache right now.

Every once in a while
I see a dream,
I want to touch the skies.

Every once in a while
I remind myself,
Of where I really belong.

Every once in a while
I look into my soul,
To see where I went wrong.

Every once in a while
I hope I’d never
grown up,but I have.

Every once in a while
I want to turn back time,
but don’t know the knack.

Every once in a while
I tell myself,
I have a good life.

Every once in a while
I think of those that didn’t
see the truth.I wonder why.

Every once in a while
I don’t want to fight this battle,
but feel better when I try.

Every once in a while
I search the crowds,
Pray a familiar face passes by.

Every once in a while
I wish for an angel,
Who would look out for me.

Every once in a while
My heart fills with gratitude,
when I see the less fortunate around me.

Every once in a while…

It’s nice to know lots of people, but they aren’t all your friends.

There is a difference between friends and contacts.Don’t mix the two.

No place for counting, friends are priceless.

Friends don’t judge, they understand.

Don’t judge someone for telling you the truth, as that takes a lot of courage.

There is nothing like unconditional love.That too is a condition and dare I say very expensive.You will pay for being human.

No place for competetion.

Don’t let a drunk or an angry friend get to you.They never ever mean it.

Every one needs time and space.

No place for a lie.

Its ok to admit, you screwed up.They will understand.

Everyone hurts.It’s called ‘being human’.

Just because they don’t tell you, don’t discount that they have feelings too and equally precious.

No point holding a grudge,life is too short for that.

If some thing is bothering you, talk about it.

If you can’t, then let go.May be even that friend.

No one is perfect,neither are you.

No place for uncomfortable silences. It’s ok to be comfortable with silences though.

If your friend hurts you,breaks your trust and makes you feel like crap it was all their fault, they do it again, totally yours this time.

There is a difference between love and lust.Don’t bother figuring this one out, but be objective.

If some one asks something from you, remember there is a probability that you are their last hope.Be kind if not generous.

Don’t wait to be asked, it should never come to that.

If you trust some one, go all the way, give that trust a chance.They didn’t earn it out of nothing.

Give your self a chance.

If some thing bothers you, let them know, chances are you misunderstood your friend.

Give, don’t expect.That is the root cause of all misery.

Give only as much as you can.

Don’t give it all you have.

Don’t take your friends for granted.They don’t come with guarantees.

Respect your friends.

No place for egos.

It’s ok to say sorry.It’ has never hurt anyone.

Friends are special because they chose to be a part of your life.

Being friends used to mean something to me.I don’t want to forget what it used to be like in the good old days.

I can pretend I am not affected.I might never even be.But dowry and related mishap isn’t a thing of the past neither is female foeticide.Do take a moment and reflect.
