It also shows the sheer belief you have in yourself :)<BR/><BR/>lol @ "fast exit" ... incidentally, I was less impulsive before I got started with blogging. I guess the ability to express myself got the better of my ability to judge a situatuion and react but I think I'm learning to strike a balance now *sigh*...never too late to learn right? :)<BR/><BR/>and yes we'll meet someday.. lol.. even if I am a tottering old woman then...

It's not easy to hv that combination in one.<BR/><BR/>Ish u said everything I wanted to say abt blogging :) U always seem to speak my mind..didnt I tell u we were long lost sisters hehe. <BR/><BR/>U express from the bottom of ur heart..there's no doubt abt it. I love the nature of honesty in ur posts and how very real they r. Ur personal experiences that u write abt r wut some of us face too and it's great to read how u interpret them...I always learn new things reading ur posts. I must say I have grown alot having known u. So thanks for that Ish!<BR/><BR/><BR/>**Writing for an Audience<BR/><BR/>I agree...at first I started writing just for myself..u know to vent out my frustrations. I still do. But as u know my audience has now grown and sometimes I feel Im on a stage, performning for an audience. Cos usually being an upbeat person, whenever I write a sad post, ppl cant seem to accept that. Sometimes it bugs me. Cos Im not a Goddess who can handle anything in life. Im as human as everyone else is. Anyways I still write how I feel, audience or not. Even tho my visitors hv grown in numbers, my style of writing wont change...my blog will always be my conversations with the walls.<BR/><BR/><BR/>**" - of others, of my faults and of varied opinions<BR/><BR/>OMG talk abt Keshi's character revolution LOL! I changed alot after blogging Ish..cos now Im a much more down-to-Earth and relaxed person. I hv gained alot of tolerance than b4. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>**reacting instantaneously in a disagreement gets us to a point of no return. It gets really late to go back and undo any damage that's done!<BR/><BR/>Very true! d u know I was nick-named "Fast Exit" by my cuzns..cos I used to get upset real quick and leave in the middle of a convo. LOL! Now I dun do that. After blogging and going thru alot of tantrums, I hv learnt to take it slow and react slow too. I mean take my time n think clearly than making hasty decisions.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Ish I'm glad u hv alot of positives in ur life cos of blogging and Im also glad that u've made REAL friends out of few ppl u met in blogs. Thats just AWESOME! And I saw ur recent BUF meeting pics with Suchi, Vyom and Abhi n ur family. THEY SPEAK FOR THIS POST! Beautiful and thanks for sharing em with me!<BR/><BR/>Some day I too hope to meet this LOVELY Ish, God willing.
