But I can guarantee it doesn't work well unless you are a good actor too ;)<BR/><BR/>I had been asked to watch "Two And A Half Men ", by a friend; unfortunately , I never did. Maybe I'll browse for that episode now. The only sitcom I watched here was Scrubs, but they haven't aired any new episodes since December. :(Aparna Gangulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145595106647499958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-89953831334443277552008-04-02T14:39:00.000-07:002008-04-02T14:39:00.000-07:00From the title I thought you were going to talk ab...From the title I thought you were going to talk about an episode from "Two And A Half Men", where the womanizer played by Charlie Sheen (how appropriate, BTW!) found the "secrete weapon" of saying, word by word, "I can understand". It was a brilliant episode from a mediocre sitcom. But it seemed there was little demographic overlap between this blog's readers and stupid American sitcom watchers. :Pnuancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219332543062815499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-7135661845778885092008-04-01T06:21:00.000-07:002008-04-01T06:21:00.000-07:00@Anand SarolkarHope I didn't oversimplify things :...@Anand Sarolkar<BR/>Hope I didn't oversimplify things :)Aparna Gangulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145595106647499958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-66666935010449700692008-03-31T22:42:00.000-07:002008-03-31T22:42:00.000-07:00Lovely post...made me smile :)Lovely post...made me smile :)Anand Sarolkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790448388488753078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-83757063162095165032008-03-28T14:37:00.000-07:002008-03-28T14:37:00.000-07:00Quoting, "Who said it'll never stop raining?

Most of the times they keep think "what others wd think if i write or express what I exactly feel.Is is good to express with others".

Doesn't everyone here ALWAYS have a long day? Doesn't everyone here ALWAYS wait for the weekend? Doesn't everyone here ALWAYS complain about something trivial? From the weather to the long work day, from the lousy traffic to the high gas prices, from the saturated fat content in chips to heavy grocery bags - there's always SOMETHING to gripe about.<BR/><BR/>The richest country in the world is definitely not the happiest.<BR/><BR/>Nice post though....:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-19910575912520078362008-03-27T09:43:00.000-07:002008-03-27T09:43:00.000-07:00Nice post.

I think i should stop stating the obvious that you write really well. :-)<BR/><BR/>I got a different take on the empathy thing you touched upon above. I think there is more of it around than actually it is required. Sometimes, it is just a question of saying a few sensible words, or even changing the topic, or may be never bringing up a topic ever again.<BR/><BR/>With respect to trying out a different stream for internship, isn't it a better idea to dive in to the field you really want to be in, to get the surprises up and early?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-27022580309476260972008-03-27T07:59:00.001-07:002008-03-27T07:59:00.001-07:00Aparna,You are trying to make the things simpler a...Aparna,<BR/>You are trying to make the things simpler and smoother.
