Dear Aunt Share - thanks for love, support and concern. This is what I do, day in and day out - eat well, rest well, work well. I'm not a masochist like these conster, fraudster Gurus, because I don't need anything from anyone - the existence provides me and has provided me everything I need.
In fact I only take care of myself, always true to myself, totally lost in my beloved Rosathea, always thinking of her, the things I need to do to impress her, why yesterday I went for labor day shopping and bought a few Abercrombies, I think of how to win her love, admiration, respect, hoping I will hear from her soon - the rest of all this is very accidental. Love, Ravi. On Tue, Sep 4, 2012 at 6:01 PM, Share Long <sharelon...@yahoo.com> wrote: > ** > > > Ravi, just take good care of yourself, ok?
