More Like Remembering with Fondness

I started a blog last night, a birthday greeting to a once-treasured friend. I just wondered  how after writing a few lines, I was suddenly at a lost for words.

Always And Forever…Today

It’s now 4pm and the sun is still searing hot. This is one of the hottest summers ever. It really makes one feel so lazy and lethargic. I wonder how long we’ll have this hot weather which easily burns the skin and makes one sweat like crazy. You could not even take a siesta, one [...]
