Dear maria,
I am charmed with the charming twos,
living, loving, leaving no loop holes for future,being a great friend ..
 what else is needed....
one more thing 
you need to write more.....

Hello Julia,

Sure, I missed you...and wondered what was going on!
(Looks like many of the regular bloggers are missing these days!)

I have been busy too..but, do take peeks into Sulekha.

Thank you for your kind words!
best,
Maria

Maria,
Thank God I did not miss this one although I am missing for a long time. Did you notice 
though 

Maria, you are great!
Julia

Priya,

Thank you for your comments and wishes!

best,
Maria

>>Things I want to do before I die:
Make sure there are support systems for the people I love.
Make sure all the work efforts I started continue, and they are in good hands.<< 
These traits are a rarity nowadays. Best wishes :) Interesting twos!

Rampu,

Appreciate your comments!  Please keep going:-))

It is always nice to see what others think of us...and it is nice of you to observe me here and comment about it.

*I would not be here- unless I wanted to interact with everyone...and people have been good to me for the most part! For every negative comment there have been many, many kind ones!

Thanks again,
Maria

why only twos....!!! Lot of ppl here can add more for you.

A few more points that your friends (and strangers like me) like about you... (based on what I observed over last few years in Sulekha)

1. You acknowledge every comment without missing anybody !!!
2. The way you handle and shrug off all those abuses hurled at you ... (some of them are too personal) without yourself being abusive. This is something that I am yet to see in another person here.  Dr. D_W comes second in this trait, but a little far behind you. Even he can get a little uneasy when tested and pushed too far.

Thank you Sivaram,

For your kind comments.

I am not sure about noble...that is the least one can do if they love the people in their life !  As far as work efforts, imo, preserving what one creates and leaving a  legacy (no matter small or big) is important!

best,
Maria

Maria
Your thoughts are noble .Two cheers! I was touched by your concern for the people and your thinking now itself of continueing the good work you have initiated. 
Thanks .Take care!
Sivaram
