Hi Gaurav,

Nice meeting you.  I am so glad to hear you identify yourself the way that you did.  I'm going to stop referring to my son as a 'thal major' as well - he is also much more than a blood disorder.  Phew, that identification removes a lot of limitiations ! 

Hurray hurray for you - so happy to have your positive attitude joining our wonderful website. 

Sharmin  :biggrin

hey, sharmin

glad to hear from you!
 
as far as i think no one can be just a blood disorder, we all are much more far more!

yeah its a part of my life but its not entire life

I feel funny when someone asks me "are you a thal??"
My perfect answer is I'm Gaurav-Gaurav Bothra!
A human not a alien i'm :rotfl

nd hell i feel so angry if someone pity on me being a thal :mad

i'm doing well, far better thn most guys of my age, they need to be pitied not me!

thanq!

it feels good to hear that you all ppl are liking my ATTITUDE but most of people or may i say most of non-thals i know don't think so, dunno why but my impression on most of them is 'Mr. Arrogant'. may be because i don't let anybody pity on me.

To Gaurav.
"Live and let live" sets us, free from the compulsion to criticize, judge, condemn and retaliate ......
which can damage us far more than those against whom ,we use such weapons,learn  tolerance
rooted in love.

Appreciate yourself and others,most people usually are genuine, don't deprive them the pleasure of sympathazing with another.
