Apologies & Au Revoir!

My apologies to everyone I've directly or indirectly hurt or offended. I had no intention of defaming anyone and I did not realize my actions would cause that. So my sincere apologies!

I pronounce myself guilty as charged of not adhering to the Rule of unbiased reporting. Freedom of Speech is not one to be misused. I believe in that and would like to believe I practise that. But I did misuse it (though, not intentionally). Hence, I sentence myself a ban on blogging as punitive damages since I am not to be trusted with such an important responsibility. And it seems to be the ideal means to settle my perturbed conscience and sense of justice.

I wish to thank all of you very much for your support that you've lent me through your feedbacks & comments. And for all the words of praise and encouragement you all have given me for my articles, for now I know I am 'jack of some trade'. As final words of parting , I wish to present a poem I found somewhere, one that I liked very much.

FRIENDS!

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even when we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.

PS: I'm letting this blog remain (rather than delete it altogether) as a reminder to my transgression, one that I truely regret now.
