Turbulance – July 2009

Posted on Updated on

I was talking to a friend of mine regarding a review written recently. After posting it, I felt whether it has been harsh or not and was in two minds to take it out. He told me, it’s always the case, some times we are always like that. We never get satisfied on a work we completed, but we do it and continue to do it for reasons unknown. It may not come out perfectly, but it is an effort and time devoted on it is precious. This is one such work, where you will get to see the turbulance and concentration missing at various times while working on it. Thought, why not I post this one too. After all life is not so perfect all the time.
