You Think Too Much! A life of thought…and some thoughts on life.

The phone call that changed my life also left me reeling and numb - the unthinkable had happened - my mom had been murdered, half a world away. Dealing with loss of a loved one in any circumstance is hard…even when you expect it to happen from a long-drawn illness, but a sudden unjustified blow […]

Do happy lifetime relationships really exist? With the complex nature of human beings, is it really possible to be happy with one person all your life?
It’s true that the nature of relationships has evolved over time, but this is an expected shift, as our means of communication, social structure and priorities change. From the […]

Ever notice the fact that the best love stories or the most memorable romances are mostly, if not always, tragedies?

Chris Neilson dies to find […]

E.g. if you’re an introvert and would rather spend your time alone in your time off, you still occasionally make the effort to mingle and interact […]

Finally saw the movie ‘Annie Hall’ from 1977 for the first time this weekend…full of wonderful moments and with Woody Allen in all his neurotic glory, combined with the scatterbrained charm of a young Diane Keaton.
I loved the ending…where Woody narrates a joke and compares it to relationships…and why we put up with everything that […]
