I am having the exact thoughts about twitter, how I am more comfortable over there, and questioning my very well known introverted nature in real life when I am comparatively lively over my twitter timeline.

I started following you last year when i read your tweets after the prayer ceremony. Those were poignant tweets and I admire you for admitting that you found solace in sharing the pain.

And even though I&#39;ve become more guarded over the years, I&#39;m very grateful for Twitter. <br /><br />In my two years with the medium, I&#39;ve seen it all; judged and misjudged people, their actions; found friends who became my sounding board and support; got help for work and travel; and learnt something new everyday. <br /><br />So yes, the journey has been quite eventful. And while I haven&#39;t experienced your kind of grief yet, I completely understand and agree with you.<br /><br />Finally, about your dad... Don&#39;t be sad. It&#39;s important to celebrate him, his life and his legacy - part of which is you and your son.<br /><br />Rock on,<br />@vodkaholic~j~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01545750271574664978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-71854920151811677582011-01-02T18:18:55.947+06:002011-01-02T18:18:55.947+06:00Mayank - Sorry for your loss.

Somehow at that time i felt no one in the world can understand what i am going through.. it was needed perhaps, my lonely homage to my dad.. but knowing that you are not alone in misery (through twitter or any other network) probably lessens the pain.. <br /><br />Not sure if you agree and @kaveri does, but really if there were none like us out there, would it still be the same. <br /><br />My prayers are for you and for you and I can only say - you are not alone my friend, we are just like you - in our pains, in our misery, mediocrity and laughters alike.

And I found immense support from your tweets and from &#39;friends&#39; on Twitter. Not something I had anticipated.<br /><br />I did tweet about what I was going through, what I felt, as a way of venting, not craving for empathy nor sympathy. At that time, I vividly remember being amazed at how &#39;strangers&#39; so genuinely and generously throw a line helping you stay afloat. That is Twitteristan and its amazing population. <br /><br />With your post today, you have &#39;expressed it so well&#39; and in agreement with other comments, I&#39;m glad that you&#39;re on my Twitter Timeline. <br /><br />Hang in there. Use time to try and heal. <br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />~ RakeshRakeshhttp://twitter.com/aaR4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-59065416472975025232010-12-28T10:23:21.696+06:002010-12-28T10:23:21.696+06:00I feel bad for your loss. I got tears in my eyes reading your post. It reminded me of the time my father passed away. Sadly there was no social network 15 years before. Anyways I was too small to understand the consequences and forthcoming hardships. I am very thankful to my mother that she never let anything harm my progress and life. She stood firmly behind me in almost every aspect and promoted me to do things. Never let me feel the void of my father.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know whether one should share such intimate feelings with world or not. But Twitter for sure has helped a great deal in these matters. Unlike Facebook, Twitter has really brought like-minded people together. Its only about sharing your rants, feelings and voice your opinions.<br /><br />Life sure is a Journey. And yes, journey is everything.prasadkulkarnihttp://prasadkulkarni.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-85460504051133842782010-12-28T10:05:57.697+06:002010-12-28T10:05:57.697+06:00I know where you&#39;ve been - and I am a fellow traveller...<br /><br />Strength to you...Gautam Ghoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04691216163099240523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-47739467891954018812010-12-28T09:41:14.123+06:002010-12-28T09:41:14.123+06:00Condolences for your father&#39;s death anniversary. <br />You&#39;ve put those statements in words, which I probably will not be able to convey. In most cases, Twitter followers are strangers, and it&#39;s a lot easier to converse with them about the difficulties, rather than with a friend. <br />A really nice post! :)<br />Best wishes for the new year!Lakshminarayan Viju Ravichandranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852002496810635651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-36313174448092741472010-12-28T08:08:48.750+06:002010-12-28T08:08:48.750+06:00Condolences on your Dad&#39;s anniversary. I remember reading your tweets at this time last year with a lump in my throat, as you described each painful moment.<br /><br />It also takes guts to share so much and allow virtually known but personally unknown people a peek into your personal life to such an extent, including both painful as well as joyous moments.<br /><br />Thank you also for putting the &quot;wit&quot; into my Twitter timeline, which never fails to bring a smile to my face each time I read your updates. :)<br /><br />Above all, thanks for this post - again, written from the heart as always.Atul Karmarkarhttp://www.atulkarmarkar.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18034650.post-27902239007307517232010-12-27T21:12:42.362+06:002010-12-27T21:12:42.362+06:00I guess Natasha and Patrix summed it up very well &quot;you have expressed it so well for so many of us&quot; and &quot;we are glad to have you around&quot;.
