O ! Dear !! O ! Dear..

I lag behind and am deeply disturbed that I have not been able to put down my post in time. Apologies and seeking forgiveness !!

On return from work the system just collapsed and a lethargy set in. Sometimes in the course of a day or a couple of days, you just want to do nothing. Nothing out of any obvious trait, but just a symbolic revolt within.

“Ah ! Don’t want to do anything today ! I shall sit here where I am, eat my food here, watch TV from here, take a nap, no calls, no obligations, no routine, nothing. Just leave me alone ! Ok ?”

One of those things. Happens to all of us. Does it not ? Or, am I being too deliberate.

Anyway it happened to me and I skipped the day on the blog. But here I am again, guilty as hell and eating into my breakfast time, delaying my departure for the location time, ignoring the reminder calls from the production downstairs, and just connecting with EF.

I shall be brief due to time constraints.

What has me so endeared to all is the connect on the topics that I write about. How surprising and wonderful it is to see and feel the joy of those that talk of their child hood, their experiences with the early years of their lives and its wonderful memorable moments. In particular the memories of rain. How wonderful to know that we are all simple and rooted people, with very basic attributes and feelings and having so many commonalities.

You all give me a lot of credit of my undeterred affection to my blog and how dutifully I write everyday despite my work and time consuming activities. But, just look at yourself too. Do not the regulars on the blog and from the EF do similar. They religiously respond to me and to my affection. They too must therefore fall in the same category as me. They are no different. They are with me. They and me are one.

We are ONE !! I like ONE ! It is so strengthening and delightful and absorbing. When we build a common community we display order and discipline and togetherness. What a wonderful world we live in. When everywhere else people detach, we attach.

May we ever remain attached. And be an example of courage and warmth.. and of a FAMILY !!

Love to all
