The Love Dairies
________________________________________ ______________________________ I have been going through a lot of blogs in iland lately and almost 1 out of every 10 (maybe even more) is on the topic of love.

Addiction- the son of misery!
If any of us were to look at Wikipedia and randomly search through the pages and stumble upon the word ‘addiction’, this is what it would read “the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life.” Now... more...

My super power is sleep
Sleep is natures gift to man. Many people say to me that they can only sleep in the bed. Moreover they want lights to be switched off, a soft pillow and silence. They can’t sleep if there is even a slight noise. Such people have never worked in a BPO. As an ex-BPOite I will suggest them to join a BPO as soon as possible so that they can overcome th...  more...

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.The best kind of friend is...  more...

  "Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped.
