I may not have married “The right” guy. But I surely dodged several bullets in pursuit of what I thought at that time was the right guy. After ages of not making the so-called right choices and being utterly stupid with relationships, the whole arranged marriage undertaking was a comedy of errors. Since I’m takingContinue reading “Marrying The Wrong Guy”

Real Threat or Mental Illness?
This is a true story. The last 4 weeks have been an internal turmoil, coupled with helplessness. When a call for help came out of the blue from a childhood friend, I assumed it was related to the volunteer work I’ve been doing.

My parents and I were always very clear on the characteristic difference between reputation and character. Despite their advanced age, they never stopped supporting, coaching, and reprimanding me as necessary. There would be many disagreements, but never was I snubbed or deprived of opinion.
