Because of her troubled relationships, some say. Somehow it pains to see somebody die for want of love. She is a beauty queen.

There is the usage of 'The sun rising in the west' in Tamil to refer to something that is improbable. I think I will make a change and start using 'Nice Gult' instead of that because this too is improbable..

I am reminded of how Julianne Moore had said that she wouldn't want to hide her age because age brought along with it so many experiences. Why hide all of them ? Why deny having experienced life all these years ?

And that used to keep her a lot more confident. I feel one should be familiar with some trade/business idea which he/she can go back to.

I came across this as as a rant on craigslist.org. Here's a lady who is giving hell to a person whom she dated once. She has a long list on the 'best of craigslist'. Here is what she has to say about his yapping.

Somehow the word 'Dear' is very personal for me and I use it only for family and close friends. For others I prefer a simple 'Hi' .
I can't help but notice the fact that especially when you file a customer complaint, the reply comes with a 'Dear Mrs.XXXXX' . Why do customers get so close to suppliers when they file a complaint ?

'Tis only twice that all men are equal

She was very thin and so weak. She got into the train and just sat down on the floor. She didn't have the strength to even reach the seats.

Drew Barrymore plays an absent-minded girl and the hero has to start wooing her all over again every day ! Well, that would be a pain for the guys, especially with a girl like Drew Barrymore.
