Reminded me of a Steve Jobs quote. It goes something like you cannot fill the blanks looking ahead, but only by looking back. .
Sometimes pretending to be a tough person helps, only thing is people won't ask you if you are hurt. .

You are always foggy when the situation is in front of you. Looking back clears the perspective but decisions in those foggy times makes us what we are so don't fret them, don't regret them. Just take everything in your stride.

Trust me.. I was always the guy who avoided confrontation, even when I knew I was being cheated. I'd rather let myself be cheated than fight with the opposing person... for want of 'ruining the friendship' with my actions.

That changed this year and I would highly recommend it to u too - be the best darn Ritika you can be... cut off people who seem to drag you down, no matter how important a part of your life they 'once' were. Look closely and identify those are sticking around even when you're down.. those are the guys you want n your corner as life progresses...

'ordinary, weak, self obsessed, overtly dependant'... yeah. I'm all that too... but I know I can now be more ! And so can you...

Poor tear glands.....they must feel so hated and left out. Ev1 seems to hate them. I feel v bad for them.
Its okay to cry Ritika...and instead of spending your efforts and energy in trying to hide them....be open bout them and fire the people who think 'because you cry you are weak'
I also cry at times. Nothing to be ashamed bout it. I am not a saint.... i also feel v miserable when i cry .... but i also try to reason out and not stifle it...... and you must also... :)
Someday the you you will be the you others see.....(i hope they do....with me also :P....m just believing that they will ...hehe )
gud luck :)

Sometimes i feel like you are so similar to the very voice inside me. Only difference is that you have the courage to express it openly and put it in words here while i am failing a lot of times for doing so and coz of that im sometimes keeping myself away from things, happenings and even people. Now itself i have been goin thru a very confusing and unexpected portion of my life for the past two months and im checking out indiblogger after a gap of more than a month and its ur post that i first checked out. Felt really relieved after going through it. You have a real gift in expressing feelings, confusions of your mind etc.
Dont be afraid of shedding tears in time Ritika. Some times we have to cry and feel more down and will wish to be be alone a lot. But i am sure by the time you have stopped crying you will feel much better. . i'm telling this from my experience. People used to give me a a weirdo look when my eyes get wet suddenly if someone we care a lot, behaves in an unexpected way. But all that time i will be fully occupied by the thoughts only and i least care abt what others will think of me in seeing such a situation. . After all its our mind na.. it may not behave so bold as we expect it to do. . But never feel so down. . Believe that no matter what bad happens, there is something good still waiting for you. . So cheers my little buddy. . :)

Seems lik our life is goin parallel ritika. Evn i have cried a lot in past few months for ppl who were once imp and left without notice. But call it a blessin or curse i dunno my tear glands obey me de only burst wen m alone or ealier wen i was with someone i trusted.i wud say cry bcz it relieves all d stress n pressure n yes if de xome out in public its not wrong bcz ppl everywher r d same u nvr knw d person watchin u cry n makin faces mit themselves be holdin thier tears frm burstin. It happens wit me all d time :-P and a girl who loves is always strong frm within its jst tat we attach ourselves to wrong ppl sometimes but den again wrong nai hota toh hume right ki kadar kaise hoti? :-) all the best for ur journey of life dear
