It warms my heart to know that my actions or words have made a difference in someone's life. :)

Am about to embark on the trip of my life.... alone...

A lil scared but the excitement overrides fear.

Have been rehearsing what I will do if i were to be harassed by a random dude on the streets and what will I do if some one gropes or molests me... (prob kick his balls.. but then again I will only have one shot, so carrying something capable of considerable damage will prove to be more practical.)

That aside, I came across this home set up by the late Mother Teressa in Agra. Will stop by there to check it out and spend one day there.

It's sad to see children becoming victims of poverty. While our children here complain about heavy school bags and homework, they can only hope to live one more day.

Maybe we should pause and reflect: are we too caught up with our own lives that we become oblivious to what is happening around us?

The psychological warfare has began. All parties are doing what they can to "address" the issues close to the voters' hearts.

As voters eagerly chant and show "patriotism" towards their country (or rather party) , how many of them are actually selfish individuals seeking for personal benefits?

Time for a change? Definately.

But are our voters mature enough to judge?

It's a blessing to have the ones you love around you..

It's an even bigger blessing to know that they don't just stick around you, but also love you back.

The endless scoldings I've received the past few days (or weeks) have been a tad irritating... but it never fails to bring warmth to my heart.

There is this Chinese saying 打是疼，骂是爱 which basically means if one hits you, they are showing that they care, if they scold you, it means they love you. (but this does not equate to physical and verbal abuse)

These are the people who truly love and care.

Starting the day with barely 5 hours of sleep... of which I slept fitfully dreaming about my papers and random grammatical features and concepts. Wating anxiously for 10th May to arrive... people have been discouraging me from going but I know deep inside me, this is what I want to do.

The first step is always the longest stride... now I know what it means

Friends to laugh with

Friends to cry with

Friends to love

Friends to cherish

I'm glad I've kept you all in my life. =)

They say below the happy grinning face lies a sad and lifeless person... No doubt abt that. All of us have this hidden side of us which we don't want the world to see. Why? We are afraid of judgments, criticisms and more importantly, exposing ourselves to greater hurt and pain. Who wants to feel this vunerable anyway? But it is important to let it out sometimes... in the toliet or under the comfort of your blanket. A periodic "emotional flush" from our body system will do us good... at least for me.
