E-'Black'mail

I get really angry when I read forward mails from friends which has at its footer, lines of warning say 'Forward it to 15 odd people and see how your life changes'. If it's gonna stop with that line it's fine. But it will carry some cautionary advice 'If you are not gonna forward then it will bring bad luck for the rest of the years'. And many other bull shit threats. Some moron just coz he has no other job, kicks it off and people forward them in chain. What are you trying to prove by forwarding it? That you are a coward or that you are foolish. It's understandable that one thinks, why to take chance but that doesn't give you any right to send on such spam esp when the mail reads stuff like  'If you don't forward it, you might loose your dear ones'. Emotional black mails thats what many a times e-mails have become. It's like falling prey to someones hoax and drifting apart from your buddies. I recall my friend texting me once 'Why don't you type a 'Hi' rather than sending me some forward. I would feel happy'. He is right. I couldn't agree more. 

My Sahil...

He is my best friend. Only he can put up with my swinging moods. He doesn't complain. The best times are when I concede in him and when I am able to best relate to words like individuality, being independent, self worth. I am so entwined with him that many a times I tend to forget(or rather I like to forget) he's a non-living thing. He's my diary.Few days back, I named him 'Sahil'. Sahil in hindi means the 'shore'. Yaa my sahil, Where waves come bashing... Where the boats rest... And from where life seems nothing but beautiful. Every page in him is a slice of life coz whatever I write in him is highly intuitive. I don't even have to think once when I have to pen in him. I have read, to have someone with whom you can be your true-self is a blessing. My diaries are.
