What if He IS “the One”

As my friend went on about everything that attracted her to a certain guy as well as the one critical point that made her feel that it won't work out between them, I listened carefully. And patiently. She had been over it quite a few times. Her inner tussle was proof enough that she so [...]

Go With That Gut Feeling

Confused? As to what to choose? It may be related to something as serious as your career option and life partner or as silly as the flavour of ice-cream to try. But there it is, staring in your face -- a choice to be made. So what do you do? See, I am all for [...]

You Will Be Just Fine

Not a clue Of how to go along. Not a star of hope In the dark sky. Not a sign That something will happen. Still, you will be fine. Not a person By your side. Not a situation In your stride. Not a thing To make you smile. Still, you will be fine. Just a [...]

Time Will Tell

Were we right? Or were we wrong? Was something really there? Or was it long gone? Time will tell. Did we put in too much? Or did we not do enough? Did we wish too much? Or did we not even really dream? Time will tell. Will it happen ever again? Or was last time [...]
