Dimple - First off, you have every right to be mad for guessing your age wrong.I'd be fuming too if someone thought I had a kid when I didn't. If it's any consolation, people guess mine incorrectly all the time on Sajha :). But as you suggested, I went back and read this again. It says "This poor girl claims to be visiting OM every second day!! I would be worried to death if my daughter did that." How can anyone know you were speaking hypothetically by reading that? There is no explicit or implicit hint of a hypothetical statement there. Lost in interpretation, perhaps. :) All right, I acknowledge it was not the best thing to do to talk about age and I seek the Wahe Guru's forgiveness for my impertinence - and your's too, if you can :D But does it even matter? Who cares about anyones age? At least I don't. Do I have a soft corner for Hushpuppy? Well no more or less than I might have for you or anyone else. People come to Sajha to meet others and sometimes they they are nice and sometimes they are not. It's like anywhere else - it's fun to catch people when they are in a good mood and it's unfortunate to catch them when they have had a bad day. That's a part of life in cybersphere. She has been kind to me at times and not-so-kind at other times - no different from anyone else on Sajha - but I am totally agnostic towards her. To me talking to someone on Sajha is more about ideas and less about personality. Conversations are only fun when you criticize ideas and not people. I think you'll like Helmand if you like grilled food. The only catch is Afghan food is not as spicy as the rest of South Asian food, which for me wasn't a problem, but one of my friends thought they would have enjoyed it more had it been a bit spicier. Bon appetite ... and have a good day. I might be going to a nice tratoria - not too far off from Helmand - for lunch today.
