I know not if you will care It is already more than 12 years; I signed in to this site while browsing social sites. Of course, I had to fill in the membership form and go through other formalities before I could enter the lobby which was then a crowded room. Some of the members I met in the lobby on that day do still peep into the rooms regularly. While some have disappeared without notice, some have passed away for good, some prefer not to come in the room for reasons best known to them. I have no complaints to make against any member of this site including those who did not initially like my presence in chat rooms. I found my chat friends educated, knowledgeable, Kind, and wonderful people. I learned many things from them. Thanks, my chat friends for your kind attitude shown to me during the last few years. Take Care of yourselves, my chat friends. Keep safe. I wish you all a happy and joyous New Year. I know not if you will care To remember this man Coming and singing with no intent Off and on at your door. Time flows on, So long as I am here, I like to see the flash of a smile Of sudden happiness on your face If and when we meet, My songs yearn after that. Flowers blossom in spring, Wither and fall in its wake. The gift of fullness in the transient moment Expresses their sole purpose. But my days will come to an end, The light will fade into dusk, Melodies faint away to cease, And the Veena retire to rest. Till then let me sing So long as I am here. Won't the gift of your smile delight and fill in these playful float-some moments? This song was written by my favorite poet in Bengali, R N Tagore, long before I was born. Since then, the song has been translated into many languages. The one posted above was translated by Subrata Majumdar.

Sandy, I read your blogs with interest always. Sometimes, our views on an issue become reciprocal. Though I have traveled a lot and visited many places, I have skipped visiting your wonderful country while I was seeing the American Cities from East to West on my way to Japan. I am not sure about living again somewhere either in this world or on another planet in our next life. It will be a miracle if it happens. Maybe, we would then be born in the same place, at the same time to meet each other. Stay well, sandy. Have a pleasant 2023.

Perhaps in the case of this site, changes occurred gradually. Stay well and happy always, Smiley. Happy and Joyous New Year to you.

Bret, you are so correct about our actions, past or present, good or bad. It always reflects. Cooking is an art. And you know the art well. I wonder who has helped you to be such a culinary artist? I wish you a prosperous 2023, Bret.

So far as I could remember, Shartaun, I became a member of this site in the month of May 2010. Time passed very quickly when we were busy here and there. I recollect having seen you in the chat rooms many years ago. You are a good photographer too. I still wait to view photos shot by you for your Photo Friday Posts. Perhaps you don't know that some of my blogs were enriched by your meaningful comments. I became an active member of The Round Table Group mainly to communicate with its active members including you. I hope that the year 2023 brings happiness and joy to you. Be safe, dear Shartaun.

Thank you so much for the inspiring comments left above, dear Karin. I hope your Granddaughter has since recovered from illness. The days I spent in your home country 47 years ago will always remain embedded in my heart. I enjoyed my time when I stayed in Luneburg to learn the German Language. My time with the Commerze Bank was equally productive for me. Thanks for your compliments, Karin. Take care, my friend. God Bless you. Happy New Year.

Never mind, dear Shartaun. Such things always happen in my case too. I believe that the celebration would be good. Meantime, Please take care of yourself.

Look I remember back then. Tell your granddaughter a guy in Texas remembers her painting of the dominant rickshaw with huge tires and people moving in the background. One in a dominant-colored red coat. Our discussion of what she was stressing in the picture while painting AND if she would think the same way about it in the future. That future is NOW. Many years later. Some things are worth remembering. LOL Perhaps you could repost the picture again. Stay safe my friend.

I am delighted to read from you after such a long time. I remember those days when we exchanged our views in the chat rooms on various issues, especially when I was the target of uncalled-for attacks by someone I liked. I have not forgotten your unconditional support, Lilium. I hope you are keeping well. The song, posted above, was written by the Bengali Nobel laureate R. N. Tagore in the year 1927 It is one of my favorite songs. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. Have a pleasant 2023.

I enjoy your posts. They are non-critical, an easy read or just nice pictures showing your gentle soul. That's refreshing. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.
