It's ironic mostly, funny too from a lot of angles (had to be) and extremely confusing when you admit to it. It takes a while to get to know me, because I make it tough for people to prod and peep. I'd know you from top to bottom, inside out, upside down and you wouldn't have scratched the surface, even.
For the very same reason, while I can make every birthday special for you and remember each date that's of importance however insignificant to another. I could write you the bestest testimonial (yeah, the Orkut- effect) ever or find the perfect words to help you figure yourself/ things out.
You on the other hand, would be able to do none of this in return. You wanting to, or not wanting to- another issue entirely. And that's when, it sinks in?
"It" would be being too precise. 'cuz I have no idea what. Something does, I just don't know what.
All my love.
expectation...grandma...is the mother of all worry
.
..
...
but me thinks you should be knowing this...anyway, just a reminder maybe.
It is. I know. But to say you don't expect anything in return, is a lie.
'Cuz you mightn't at that minute, but you will soon.
'doesn't have to be equal, or even almost equal. Anything would do. Except crap.
Dunno whose to blame, me or the other people!
SG.
A lie it certainly is.
The truth though is that expectations aren't always fulfilled...they're kinda like dreams...only that dreams can be quite extravagant.
And no one visits my blog anymore!!
SG.
see... there's an example...you're expecting :P
Am not. I'm worried... people are just dropping off the blogosphere.
SG.
I'm still here. And be sure I will visit your blog at least every time I post on mine.
Coincidentally, there's a new post on my blog. Check it out.

The only reason you come here love, is to advertise.
SG.
I still come, no? And when I do, I read your blog.
But seriously, I come here far more often than you know. I check almost everyday. It's just that I don't comment very often, because you leave nothing to be said.

hey! am back :)
Can't say I wasnted to kill myself for not being around,but the lack of time lately has been exasperating.About the post,well,it was good - but then,almost everything you write has an iota of truth in it ( along with a lot of bad humour and intellectual gibberish ;) )
Cheerz!
You know, there have been many people who have sat next to me for ages, and yet have no idea who I am? It's kind of depressing, actually.
@Koze: Compliment?
@A: hey! long time. no kidding?!
@Sykora: Yeah, it is.
Thanks for dropping by you guys,
All my love.
Hi SG,
[ sorry for responding late, :( ]
You are right ! Every act needs something in return otherwise the motivation is lost. (because you have done it better, you deserve it !!)
BUT 'It' would be better if we draw the motivation from the act we do. Do it, if you enjoy doing it. Otherwise NO. Your reward / motivation is your act not the return.
May be, if you know prior to the act that you are expecting something in return and doing for it, CONVEY it clearly in a subtlest ttt possible way !!!!
What u say ?
cheers,
ganesh
Hi,
First off- do I know you from some place?
SG.
SG... Sry for being one of those who disappeared for a while..
And yeah, it is depressing. And that's the reason why most of the time, I don't dwell on it. That was I can live in my own little bubble.
@SG, First off- do I know you from some place?
NO. i dont remember how i got ur blog link. reading it from then on.
nice write ups ... enjoyed your 'Dearest SG' post. keep writing.
cheers,
ganesh
@Triya: Heya girl. Lol, bubbles burst though. And I don't like the odds there.
@Ganesh: Aah. Ok, just wondering. Wow you've been here long.
As to what you had to say previously- what you've said is absolutely correct, only it wasn't the point I was making. Or trying to, considering I'm having to point it out.
And that point, I'd explain, only I can't come up with too many words that are synonymous to "it".
:)
Maybe another reading would help? Though I hate to put you through that.
Thanks for dropping by you guys,
All my love.
