Have you heard the story of the princess?
They got her the sweets from Bengal, Maple syrup from Canada, Manna and dew and magical potions brewed in the land of England, jaggery brewed out of the finest sugarcanes, rock sugar made by the druids of the ancient, they ordered for the ancient Egyptian recipes, the recipes that sweetened and loosened the tongue of the most hardened criminal, they got her dew, freshly formed at the crack of dawn, they got her honey straight from the bee hives of Africa… every conceivable sweet under the earth was ordered to be prepared with great care and given to her, fruits and nuts, and caramel and pudding … she tasted them all, and spat them out.
Everything, everything tastes bitter, she said, as bitter as bile, as bitter as gourd, as bitter as treason, as bitter as hate.
Everything, tastes bitter, she said.

Is this just an expression of a feeling? Or, a part of a story that continues? If its the first one, the "mood offiness" has been painted well. If its the seond, will wait for the next epsiode.
Also, any inputs on my renewed blog would be highly appreciated. :)

@Anon - Touch wood! kya bol rahe ho yaar! its been just 2 months since ive gotten married, comon! there's still so much more I can do to harass the hubby :D waise, Mr Anon, who ARE you?
dont worry abt the moment when things are bitter, all u have to do is just remember there were sweet moments too and this phase of bitterness will pass by.
Hope u have a great life ahead.
