Reminisces

Leafing through the pages of my past, I came across some verses we wrote to one another.

That only left us with one option – write to each other daily. We would pour our hearts out on thin white, pink and blue sheets of paper which are still lying in the first drawer of our cupboard.

Some day, when we are gone, perhaps our son will find them and read it fondly.

Trust or no trust

This. Its not only makes business sense to start a relationship basing on the premise of *not* trusting an individual – it also makes a lot of sense in social relationships. Not trusting to me is an act of self preservation. For me, in any In a transaction or a relationship, I have to know … Continue reading Trust or no trust
