Of Choices, Chances and Changes

I have thought of this moment for ever so long. It always seemed so far away in the distant future and now it is almost here.

I shall be taking a break from gainful employment.

When I first hinted about it last year, most people didn't believe that I would go ahead with this idea because I have been working since 1978.

For a while, even I didn't think I would follow through with this decision but some things happened in 2011 and made me take stock of what I wanted for 2012.

Surprisingly, I received unexpected reactions from those near and dear to me. However, there was only one that counted and that sealed the deal for me.

Soon enough, I shall close the chapter on a huge portion of my life.

Soon enough, I shall begin a new chapter on a new adventure of my life.

Be my Valentine!

Every year it is the same thing.

There is the same debate.

Celebrate! Don't celebrate!

Why this is even an issue is beyond me, so won't you move away, you "wet blankets"?

Make way for those who want to celebrate love!

(This goes out specially to Stephen Felix Grosse!)

Did he know?

It's always hard to lose someone. It's even worse when it's unexpected. While I don't consider myself an expert on grief, I do believe I qualify to speak about it.

At the end of anybody's life, the only question that really matters is, "Did he know you loved him?".

Did he know that you loved him when he was alive? If he did, then you have walked the talk of love. Love is not passive. It is active.

The point is that we have to show our love while people are alive! Death is final. There is no second chance.

You can claim to have loved someone so much and so hard after they are dead. But if you didn't show it while they were alive, then it counts for nothing.

We have to remember this.

Live, love and never be afraid of saying "I love you". Let them know.
