artist_by_blood It depends really with whom i am parting with. If i'm leaving the house and my sisters are home, i make it a point to say good-bye with a hug and kiss. If it's my mother, i just give her a kiss. My dad's usually out by the time i wake up. I see him at night....

Do you often look into your photo album?

cudamani @cudamani (996) • India 11 Jun 09
