Back online after a long time..only to discover that my browser no longer properly supports services of the google family-so I can only view my orkut page and my blogger page in HTML and for a weird reason am unable to format this post adequately. I also realize that I write when there is something that makes me very happy, sad, concerned or whatever. Basically my current state of mind dictates what I write online. So here's my thought for the day..
I have always believed that being open and honest is a good thing. But today I realized how dangerous this trait can get. One comes across papers, reports and email forwards from time to time that say how you should have a certain 'air of mystery' about yourself. I have always thought such a view to be 'creepy' or 'paranoid'. But today, I realized how important it is to keep some things to oneself and not 'reveal all' even to your closest friends or family. Heck, in this day and age, friends have become a weird 'backup' family! There are some things that are meant to be private and should be kept confidential at all costs. The 'truth or dare' concept doesn't apply to everything in life. Some things in life are still sacrosanct...irrespective of how much everyone believes in 'open communication'. I can just say that I escaped with no harm done, but a bit more diplomacy from me may have prevented this 'truth or dare' from happening in the first place.
On the brighter side, I'm writing again! ;)
