The ICU sits, like so many other possibilities, just outside of the present. When it comes, I hope to have the grace necessary...<br /><br />Pearl<br /><br />p.s. Bought my first neti pot today.

It does help if you have that someone to talk to you and a stranger can be perhaps be ideal to pour out your emotions at a stressful time.radhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837846875386312338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-40845804884588482452011-10-06T22:56:52.178+05:302011-10-06T22:56:52.178+05:30Interesting story.

But their numbers are dwindling and that is worrying. I remember forgetting to bring a shawl while traveling to Mumbai alone and tried to cover myself with my saree pallu as well as I could. I must have drifted off to sleep and when I woke up a fellow passenger had covered me with the extra bed sheet that he had. He probably saw me shivering and decided to loan me his sheet. However, that was 23 years back and I was traveling by sleeper class.. I don't know if such acts of kindness take place now.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-1640418300910793032011-10-06T10:32:57.262+05:302011-10-06T10:32:57.262+05:30I enjoyed this post to the cores
