Thanks Darude....

 

and ksarat how rude  u were being nice bc u thot i was married....dont tell me tht u r frm the school of thot which says...if woman is married ..than only she deserves all the respect......come on yar...

 

pay repsect to the person ...and nt to marital stauts.. and by the way i think being married is the funniest thing in this world. and once we get serious about it..ur life starts getting its toll.

well i actually dont ask.......my poor hubby....

 

keeps giving me sms from everywhere he goes....no m just kidding....actually u knw....biwi ko pata hota hai....something fishy fishy...... but sometime u just let it go...

 

so all wise woman ..thy never ask man that wat he was upto...... until they r full auusred that thy can face anything....ziada philosophy ho gai........sorry...

 

and for personal relation i ratrher beleive tht u should give total freedom....bc being strict never helps u out..whn soemthing suppose to go rong ..it happens..no matter how good u plan....so in all relATIONS just let go... try to be relax and enjoy good moments.

For you it would sound great...all the big dialogues...yeah right...

 

Look at it from your partner's viewpoint...he would be scratching his head...the moment he comes home and you ask him..."Jaanu, aaj kaisa tha, kiske saath meeting tha, that you didnt pick my phone"...I presume you know Hindi...LOL...

ISB  means Islamabad.

 

detail or no detail.."wife" is always dangerous. and husband is far more dangerous creature.... not necessarily one can find the required info in personal stuff. it depends how good yr partner knows u....hee he ehe heee sounds gr88888888 na...

2) Indian School, Bahrain

 

Whats this ISB that you both Khans are referring to...

 

Toooo dangerous for a husband with such a wife...LOL...girl you must take it easy...

 

And fabulous to see your mom is with you here...as I told before..I wont joke on this topic..

 

But yes on the detailing part...o my ... given a magnifying glass you would even sneak in on your husband's personal stuff...bad girl...

I wont comment on your first line...because what you just said is something that is absolutely Divine...and Fabulous...Atleast in words...you sound to be a fabulous lady...good on you...*Pat on your back*...good thoughts and good words about the way you put it about your mother...I'm impressed...girl...

 

And second, after all the good stuff...that much detail...you must be crazy...to see so many things so closely in life...I wonder what your husband(If you got one...that is)...think about this...so clean and clear you like it...Ooooo...too much of clarity sometimes isnt helping girl...

 

You sound like Aamir Khan (do you know who he is)...he also has that much bit of clarity and detailing oooo...fabulous indeed...

 

So what you doing now...whats it you bought for your Mom...where is she...

hee heehe heeee...good one. the moment i posted it...i knew this error of "light" will bring lots of light...

 

anyways....One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.

 

The United States celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. In the United States, Mother's Day was loosely inspired by the British day and was imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War. However, it was intended as a call to unite women against war. In 1870, she wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation
