Hi Suman,
thank you! U gave me my first healthy, wholesome breakfast recipe - I'm going to make it part of my regular diet next month onwards. Wud u by any chance knw how to make Pohey?
Hey seeingeye,
sure, u can have 'em all - this is my retirement plan (aiming for 2010) and ur welcome anytime after the workshop is built. Wud u know of anyplace where I can buy Swiss cottage tents and how much those would cost??? (I'm dead serious - I need something to live in while the cottage is being built - but just between u and me, I haven't even got the land yet - nor the dough for it;-)) But I will.)
Das!!
Ur incorrigible! Don't you knw callng a lady beautiful and dispensing 'ILU's indiscriminately wud hv consequences frm both d lady and ur trouble n strife?? U lk living dangerously or whutt?
Fie, shame and all that! (Besides, I don't believe 'I luv u's' till they're said with flowers - actually, even seeds for a cherry tree will do - the blossoms are every so lovely, u can't help but get a lump in the throat...)
Gita (Anjala)'s my 10th muse and yes, we spk in code. Now, be nice to wifey and let us knw when the baby comes home. Perhaps, I'll send you an invite for my rustic retreat a couple of years down the line - but olly if ur wifey sez you've been good (read helped with changing nappies etc.)!!! Whokkay???
(sorry for hijacking ur space...but u did seem to be tkng over Lucifer's job, u ....:-)) Lv ur scribbles - kp 'em coming!)
Yeah, yeah Ups!
but I was 'fraid of starting the Chipko movt in Suls the kind of time I was spending here 'stead of devoting spare (whazzat u say, working moms ko kya pata is luxury kay baarey mein...hmmmn..rite u r) time to Potty Dev and Putr pyaarey....will see ya nxt wk, same place, same time (save red faces for Das - I'm easy to scare to petrification...go easy on me, budz:))
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Be glad of pain!
In sorrow, sweetest things will grow,
as flowers in rain:
God watches; thou wilt have the sun,
when clouds their perfect work have done.
Morning never yet has failed when night is through and to love is to be vulnerable, but it also opens your heart for greater things, giving you capacity to stem the heartaches of others for don't you know, they best can bind who have been bruised oft? Sorrows come to stretch spaces in our hearts for joy:-) Ur lines are beautiful - just like ur heart!!
Hi Gita,
thank you for dropping by and for seconding the motion and sharing the faith - goodness knows some things are sure in short supply:-)) but Suls's guests' graciousness can always be counted upon.
Dr.Madhvi,
thank you for the thoughtfulness; I'd changed the settings bcoz I was gettings some notes in very poor taste, which I reported to Sulekha also, but am yet to receive an acknowledgement for. Sorry, didn't mean to shut you out or any other friendly souls for that matter. Yes, of course your judgment was sound - :-)) Rgds,

Hiya Lakshmi,
that's an admirable quality to hold on to: loving your self, no matter what life throws at you and being able to say it the way you do, with an attitude of gratitude - I know its not an ego-trip...just quite confidence and being at peace with being you. Here's to Being Me, Being You!!
(chk out http://deepanjolie.sulekha.com/blog/post/2008/04/the-key-to-who-you-are-meant-to-be.htm in ur free time, pl do:-)
Tx for sharing ur views; appreciate it!

Dr.Madhvi,
your style of declaring results makes winners out of non-winners too:-) For all those people who are scared of criticism, this blog shud stand out as a kindly way of giving a balanced, intellectual opinion. Way to go! And congrats to Bhavana!!
Lv,

One Look of Love (short story from Long Ago)
Hi Naval,
thank you for sharing your reading tastes - I remember reading a comic book (illustrated) version of Les Miserables when I was 12/13 but never the book...perhaps, after I retire and have saved some dough, I'll get this classic and others on my wishlist....Oh, can you recommend any good Hindi reading material? I'm awful at reading hindi and would like to improve...and for me the best way to like a language enough to learn it, begins with the literature avlbl...Do help if you can...Thanks!
