I remember seeing this in St. Paul's Cathedral back in Kolkata:

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

-- John Donne (1572-1631), Meditation XVII

You know it. It's famous.

I'm not going to launch into some whoaaaa reminisce about the past year. I'll just say that it's probably been the most exciting one and tiring one and fulfilling one :D 5 more days till it's over. But even though this is really cheesy and everything, I thought that quote applied a lot to me this year! I couldn't have made it through without all the people in my life - friends/family/teachers/people I don't like. Even if you're in the last category, deep down inside I probably feel a little indebted to you, hence the ill-feeling. So, for what it's worth, Merry Christmas to you too.


She's only been gone THREE days and this is what it's like. I hope what I prayed for comes true, even if it means giving up certain things. What if she goes forever? What's going to happen? I don't even want to entertain that thought.
