longest post ever...uff...:)

Except for a brief appearance in Feb (due to excessive happiness attack caused by generous consumption of chocolate) I have been mostly out of bloggerworld in the past one year... There are many reasons for this disappearance but to sum up ... the elusive creature called life showed me her most unpleasant face. I was devastated, frustrated, angry, moody, irritable and spent most of my time sulking away and snapping at anybody who dared approach me. I had always believed nothing much could go wrong in my charmed existence and when it did I reacted pretty much like a little girl who didn’t get the latest version of the Barbie..... ( Sulk, sulk, sulk) I almost gave up all my favorite things... shopping..Reading...blogging....laughing in an unorganized vendetta against the world. I kept on wishing that I could change the past not realizing that the past has already changed me....Time however has a way of healing the worst scars and here I am a better, brighter, wiser and happier me. Well along with the invaluable contribution of Mr. Time there are a few other people I need to appreciate here.... the problem is most of them do not blog and will be subsequently emotionally blackmailed into reading this.... :) Here goes...
@ Debanjan Niyogi thank you for the counseling sessions , the much needed advice( even though I snapped at that ), for being there at the worst phase of my life. I know I have directed some of my worst tantrums at you.. will never be able to express how much I appreciate your sudden presence in my life...... oh and before I forget thanks for feeding me so many chocolates :)
@ Namrata Srivastava thank you for inspiring me to start blogging again. I promise my next post will be about "Purple". Those telephonic and electronic pep talks really helped.. Please start writing your book real soon.
@ Tapapriya Lahiri thank you for inspiring me to start shopping again. Only you know how incomplete I am without junk jewellery :) jokes apart thanks for being such a good friend and asking so few questions and helping me in some good therapeutic bitching.
