When we return a hurt for a hurt, it only multiplies the pain. Where one person had been hurt before, now two are hurting. And both are miserable. There is no enduring satisfaction in inflicting a hurt or seeing someone suffer.
It has been a while since I picked up a tag. But this one was a perfect anniversary gift for my blog that has given me so much joy and a lot of friends.
I was nothing like the superwoman of the ads. I usually came home as if the cat had disgustedly dragged me in, before flopping like an imperfect jelly on the bed.

The Indiblogger Meet in Delhi last Sunday was one great party. But I have realized one thing: I need several such meets to get to know and remember the huge number of bloggers in Delhi. So when is the next one, Inditeam?
