A typical day at home and I can be found working(?) on my laptop for most part of the day. I am either writing/posting or reading a blog post. And, my FB account is logged on all the time.
Suddenly, I erupt in laughter. My kids who are watching TV, look at me as though I have lost it. My son is curious to know the reason behind my laughter. My daughter,..."It must be her friends."
Blogging is the most wonderful thing that could happen to me. And, then Corinne happened. Don't go by her looks...she looks soft and sweet...which she is. But, beyond her looks is her wit and wisdom. The more I say...the more trouble I spell. She gently pointed at some doors which I pushed open...and, I have no regrets because she opened up the world for me.
Then, out of the blue...she rises like a phoenix and takes the blog world by storm. Everyone is curious to know about her, befriend her. Just a year into blogging, she is short of opening an gadget showroom....the prizes she won in the contests. With her no-nonsense and 'bindass' attitude along with a good dose of wit and jest, she leaves an impression which you can't miss. That's Blogwati G for you.
She is a doll...and I completely love her smile. The first time I met, I was struck by her beauty...not just what you can see...but, the one she reflects. She is a dentist and makes sure she puts a smile on everyone's face. Her deep understanding of people and their personalities can be traced in her writings. She speaks her mind...completing the madness. Sharmila in Sanskrit means - protection, comfort and joy and she is all of these.
Every one is a bit wary of letting the virtual world seep into the real. Well, it is us who define the boundaries, set the parameters and the equations. These three Ladies are an integral part of my real world today...and a virtual support system. We all have one thing in common...our craziness. They just light up my day.
I just signed my death warrant!
