double century - do i get a bonus?

This is my 200th post – should i bring out the champagne? Oh i forgot you don’t drink (that is my cynical half talking to the other “rosy” half).

Why do i blog? Why do i do most of the things i do – simply because i want to. i am a person singularly led by her wants and needs – which leads to all the conflicts in my life. i think blogging is an extension of my diaries – i wrote religiously in college and it is a joy to revisit the memories through my words. Which explains why all the posts are about me – my favourite topic is i, me, myself.

i thought this post should be on the most important person in my life – more important than myself! – my mother. She is a wonderful woman – i would not have been where i am right now without her and i am not talking about my physical existence. As i grow older, i think i appreciate her more – because i realize just what she went through to ensure that we got the best of everything. She is one person who has taught me to respect all religions, to be a better human being. i love and admire her very much. If i had inherited at least 10% of her goodness, i would have been a really nice gypsy. Well, at least, i have the fortune of having her as my mother. Ema, i love you – i know i don’t say this often but it does not mean i love you any less than if i chanted it every waking hour. i know i have been/still am a difficult daughter but please know that i treasure you more than anything else in this world. i wish i were like you –which i know i will never be because i am much too selfish. In god i don’t believe but if there is anybody i worship, it is my mother.
