  18. Thanks for your good wishes and compliments every one. I never knew that a simple blog would bring so much of appreciation. I am touched with this response. I am some how not comfortable with the entire concept of FB with due respect to all the users. I am a very private person and would like to be in my shell but thanks to technology nothing remains personal. Thank you all once again for your encouragement and support in my journey

  46. I know for work oriented people like you number doesn't matter and that is the reason that you don't like the concept of 'likes' on FB. You are right to some extent, others should not be the judge of ones life and events...... I wish many more can learn this philosophy of yours.
