Sometimes, it difficult to pass the certain phase of emotions which leads to depression …right now I am going through that I think .. professional and personal…when it come it comes from all side….

Well, I just have to deal with it and wait or let time heal things.. that’s it , cant do much abt the personal things… and that’s making me too sick to take action on professional front…. Well, in one word, time will heal , I hope..

Hey that’s nice to know that u have picked up well…. Ya its diff to prove by words that vegis can be equally good as meat in africa.. so have one way, actions speak louder than words… that’s what u r doing, gr8… well u have nice time pass items girly things! i am more in to movies, dinners and books to pass time..
So u also got offer to put up a show for Indian cuisines, that’s gr8.. I got same suggestion efw wekks back.. ah! But who has time to do all that… although its not a bad idea . sharing skill and changing taste….

Not heard from you for a long time, though I did respond to one of the discussions intiated by you. I am at moment fine all over, and I do not think I would be back at PNG but I am certainly a person who would be around in the socail development field. How are things going with you, wish you all the best in your work, and be in touch. Bye.
Arya.
