		<description>Good point &lt;strong&gt;Mannat&lt;/strong&gt;! I noticed that too in the Times of India the other day that she also had a girl. :smile:  Lagta hai Madhuri Dixit ko bahut durr nahi dekhna padega for a match for his boy. :wink: :rotfl:

Its amazing isn&#039;t it &lt;strong&gt;Kaush&lt;/strong&gt; ke kaise thoda sa waqt main hum kaise ek doosre jo jaane lagte hain? :smile:  That&#039;s what friendship is all about, I guess. :grin:  

My jokes are very cheesy -- as you know :wink:, Neeraj kya kahega other than: &quot;pagal hai&quot;.. :lol:</description>

		<description>Good to see you &lt;strong&gt;Deepak&lt;/strong&gt; at the top of the list for the first time. :smile:  Thanks for commenting. :smile:  Your way of thinking is quite nice, I think Kaush sees it some what similarly as well. :smile:

Yep I knew that you were also living on your own &lt;strong&gt;Manpreet&lt;/strong&gt;, and its good to see your point of view as well.  There are positives and negatives in all situations, including this one, so I guess you win some and you lose some. :smile:

Wow &lt;strong&gt;Mona&lt;/strong&gt; I learned so many things about you from that comment! :smile:  I didn&#039;t know that you stayed with your grandmother when you were young, I didn&#039;t even know that both your parents worked! :smile:  I guess the surroundings that you have been play the part to the independent individual that you are! I am quite impressed!  :smile:  And your father is afraid of flying?  Yes, that makes it difficult for you all to visit.  Now, how far away are your parents from your home?  

Thanks for the nice words on the photos. :smile:  Those are the photos in front of the mustard seed flowers, i think they are flowers. :eyebrow: You took photos there too?  My father wanted to stop there as we were going to Neeraj&#039;s home.  The flowers remind me of &lt;em&gt;Diwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge&lt;/em&gt;.  :smile:

Yep &lt;strong&gt;V&lt;/strong&gt;, the user id/pwd has now been sent.  It wasn&#039;t sent earlier because its always nice to get to know the people first who want to see the pics. :smile:   Now you shouldn&#039;t have a problem. :smile:

I know that you are also away from your family Govind, but it is true that you do get used to it after time. :smile:  Maybe its soon for me to think abt. it...we will see what happens further. :smile:

Your thoughts &lt;strong&gt;Mannat&lt;/strong&gt; were very similar to what I have been thinking lately.  At the beginning I was quite excited to be on my own, living in hotels, driving different cars, being in different cities, but now after doing it for a while (a year), just this last weekend I began to think about what I wrote, and just don&#039;t know if I am missing out too much in what is happening @ home.  :???:  

I don&#039;t know either why girls have to do the sacrificing, but you are right about the perfect world. :smile:  Glad to see you blogging! Welcome to the Blog World! :grin:

Thanks for the nice words on the photos. :smile:

Yep life is full of compromises &lt;strong&gt;Ashwin&lt;/strong&gt;, you win some and you lose some.  Yep for you all that come to the USA to study, its admirable how you do it, living away from your family at years of time.  I am not sure if I would be able to do it but to achieve your ambitions its something you have to do. You all face more than what I am facing and that&#039;s quite admirable. :smile:  My problem is very small in that aspect. :smile:

Actually &lt;strong&gt;Tarun&lt;/strong&gt;, I am thinking abt. the days that have gone. :smile:  The days that I have missed being with my family and if I should avoid losing any more days.  :smile:

Thanks &lt;strong&gt;Ankur&lt;/strong&gt;. :smile:  

Interesting &lt;strong&gt;Prasad&lt;/strong&gt;.  Yep its a give and take but at that time, I am not sure about you, but I can definitely move to a job that is closer to my home where I am home all of the time.  That&#039;s what I am debating if I should make the move to enjoy the time with my family prior to getting married? :eyebrow:  Not sure. :???:

Sent you the user id/pwd for the photos. Enjoy and do let us know what you think abt. the photos. :smile:

You were one of the few &lt;strong&gt;Priya&lt;/strong&gt; that I was thinking abt. when I was writing this post. :smile:  I know that it must be so much harder for you than it is for me, but the feelings that we are feeling are the same.  How you have been doing it for two years is admirable. :smile:  

I am still waiting on any other competitors &lt;strong&gt;Ankur&lt;/strong&gt;. :smile:  Might talk abt. it in my next post. :wink:

Will send you the user id/pwd &lt;strong&gt;Shradha&lt;/strong&gt;. :smile:</description>

		<description>poonam, I know its always difficult to be away from 
the parents.. I&#039;m getting to see them one weekend per month only.. but, one thing is for sure.. u&#039;ll learn and see both the bright n dark side of life only if u r independent.. I&#039;m sure I got to know lots of stuffs only after my college days.. till then I was completely under my parents care.... 
But, as always.. once I go home.. i&#039;ll be the same old pampered kid to my parents... outside, I&#039;ll be a practical man... 
hey, am not able to see ur pics.. requires auth id n password.. isn&#039;t it? if u don&#039;t mind, do send it to my id...
ok then... bye...</description>
