I have 'bottomed out' :)

Feeling extremely extremely sad, depressed and lonely today...not for one particular reason or the other.

...

But I am an ever optimistic person!

This is the worst it can get and the only way to go from here is UP!

As the financial analysts so frequently use (rather misuse or abuse) the phrase 'markets have bottomed out'....I too have 'bottomed out' :)

International Men's Day – Today

Somebody wished me early morning today on occasion of ‘International Men’s Day’…

I said, my day happened 5 days ago on Nov 14, ‘Children’s Day’ (in India) J …but I could not celebrate it with sweets coz it also happens to be ‘World Diabetes Day’ L

BTW, for all Men who feel happy about today being their day – let me warn them, today is also ‘World Toilet Day’…do you think it is a mere coincidence or a conspiracy against Men…L

Anything that has a Google stamp on it excites me...I simply adore the company, its founders, its innovation!

Wine is bottled poetry…

Found this picture somewhere on the web:

“Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson

Since I know nothing about either Wine or poetry, I cannot comment on the quote. But the hyperbole/ analogy is fascinating.

So I Googled this quote and found another small write-up...very well written...with a beautiful picture!!!

The image and the article can be found here.

BTW, any thoughts/ personal experiences about the quote are welcome...especially from people who are 'deeply into' wine or poetry!
