Okay so I am on a blog-break. Unexpected, not of a fixed duration either. So, I have a lot of apologies to ask for and a lot of tales to narrate. But that is not what I am here for.
I am here for another dedication post! This time on valentine’s day :-)
What I used to think of love last year is
here. [which was also my claim to fame on blogger-world :-D]. But well, I’ve come a long way.
Dedicated to the 55 most important and influencing people in 19 years of my life
Important because they supported me when I could see no friendly face around;
Important because I can’t imagine my life without them
Important because I care about them, in the same way that they care about me.
Important because I love them and I know I don’t say it enough.
So here they are; the most influential and imperative set of people to me.
Aditi Gupta: The intersection of the web and real worlds for me. Ruia college would be different if you were not around. Keep in touch.
Aishwarya Shevade: One of my pune PG room-mates and one friend I wanna treasure for life. You made the schedule in Pune easy, Thank-you.
