I laughed out loud, just stopped short of crying, and experienced a whole gamut of emotions… How I wish I could write half as well as you do…. You have captured the sentiments that all the girls in the “marriageable” age face. It’s indeed an amazing way you put it in… <BR/><BR/>I also wish to thank you for it was you who introduced me to The Roots. An amazing book indeed. <BR/><BR/>I had put up this article at my blog. I dint know the author then… now that I do, it seems just appropriate that I should give your details in the author section, if not take it off completely. I will await your instructions in this regard… C ya arnd then!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516862620192306041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9984584.post-1146904200340123062006-05-06T14:00:00.000+05:302006-05-06T14:00:00.000+05:30nice post......books dont age though :-), and seco...nice post......books dont age though :-), and second third hand books are more fun to read,i dont think divorcees and widowers wud be the same, find someone nice while he's arnd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9984584.post-1141216781766606062006-03-01T18:09:00.000+05:302006-03-01T18:09:00.000+05:30One.

I'll just keep it to myself. hee hee hee!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi gaurav,<BR/><BR/>What in the world does that mean?

But you should know this - I come across better on the blog. (My friend agrees.)<BR/><BR/>Hi ghost,<BR/><BR/>Actually, I don't listen to her so much. I just loved that line, 'You're a twist in my sobriety.' My pal gave me a couple of her numbers.
