Beginning of a Journey

India
July 24, 2011 2:43am CST
I have a MyLotter friend of nearly my age and very much of my interests. She participates quite thoroughly in all the discussions I start. I like her writing skill as well as her outlook on various issues of life we discuss. As I discuss more with her, I develop a more liking for her, and a stronger urge to be close to her. The difficulty is that we live at diametrically opposite ends of the globe. I am lonely and badly need a companion like her, but do not know her mind. I think a journey has begun with unfixed destination. Let the journey continue happily.

Thanks for your kind words ram (hope it is okay to call you "ram") I met few mylotters already and we've done the Philippine-Mylotters First Conference last year of December and planning to have it again this year wishing to met more mylotters here in our place. I have few Indian friends here in mylot,and I've met my virtual family here,dada,maa,bhai/anna,chechi/ and a lot more.

My dear Jaiho, Age matters little after maturity in which you and me are. So please treat me as your equal. Otherwise also, I treat even small children as my friends. I respect your views and also your youthful smartness. Moreover, I may be older, but you are smarter and have the modern air in yourself. On Internet or otherwise, I trust everyone unless I have an evidence against some one. Even if an online trust is breached, we may not gain anything, but don't lose anything. In-spite of everything, I am keeping my options open and all friendships as open-ended. I value equally my friendship even with you. Have a nice time, wherever you go, whosoever you meet. Keep on spreading the joy of your personality.

Oh, yes, I like to be called as a friend. This brings us closer to each other. Intellectual families are created through such discussions. Also we eliminate geographical boundaries between us through familiarization process. My journey on mylot, although started recently, is indeed very sweet with precious friends like you.

There are several kinds od journeys, rambansal. In such a journey as you have begun, with a mylot friend, there are many thing that must be taken into consideration so that steps must be slow ones. If the lady lives in the other end of the globe, it is very probable that her costums and culture are different from yours. I remember, a short time ago, that I was talking to a Hindu friend of mine and he said that I was very bold. I´m not specially bold in my culture, but women in my country play other roles in society. I would not feel comfortable either living in the US: I feel that women have lost more than what they have gained there by asking for a sort of equality that it´s more exterior than the important one that means mutual respect. Meanwhile, as in any friendship of any sort, conversations about several issues are important so that both persons leave out their social masks and show what they really are. Every journey towards friendship of any sort is a beautiful road. And the road itself is full of beauty, not just the goal.

Yes, my dear Marguicha, the road is really beautiful laden with flowers on both sides. And I am moving with hand-in-hand with my friend on a long journey slowly-slowly. Cultures may be different, but the realities remain the same as both of we are basically humans, and respect basic human values. This is a wonderful combination of the two - stripped off the cultures and united as two humans. The beautiful journey continues, and I wish to continue it without and end. Therefore, I don't care for the destination.

That is a lot more thatwhat many people get, my friend. I like to travel and for some time I was very much aware of the differences between different people and cultures. But after a while I discovered that underneath those differences, we were all about the same. Probably that´s one of the reasons why I´m so much against wars, racism and bigotry. And that´s why I don´t much like people who think they are the owners of the universal truth either.

Yes my dear Marguicha, it is much better than reaching the destination and finding no where to go. Keep on travelling with me on this intellectual path. This feel of togetherness is highly nourishing.

I wish you the best of luck in this journey. Keep your mind, spirit, and heart open to all the possibilities that this friendship could bring. Remembering that you are from two very different cultures and that this could present issues if you are finally united. However, it could also make you grow fonder of one another as you learn the many aspects of each culture. God bless you and your friend!

With co-travelers like you on this intellectual journey, life needs nothing more nothing better. As we move on with understanding of each other, we get stripped off our respective cultures and just be pure humans quite natural to each other. You are smart enough to the secret - openness of mind, spirit and heart. This opens up many other possibilities.

My dear Rahul, it is not the end that is important but this journey itself is full of pleasures. If some is gone, some other comes your way and you keep on getting pleasures of co-travelers. So, I keep my mind open for any incoming new breeze. Forget about the past, don't worry for the future, but enjoy your day. That is the best prescription for a happy life. When journey is there, co-travelers will also be there. So, keep on moving..

It sounds as a beautiful journey for you. As you know two soul-beings can be close in heart no matter the physical distance between the human bodies. Then you can if you like make the arrangement to watch each other on a webcamera and hear each others voices using places on the internet that makes it possible like skype. Many God's blessings to you for a rewarding happy and healthy life.

What better may I have on this journey than finding friends and co-travelers like you. Who knows what comes next between us with our minds open and deep-rooted in pleasures of togetherness.

Yes, you should rejoice in the fact that you have found a wonderful friend here on mylot, and that you have managed to hit it off so well. Who knows where life will take you in the future? Perhaps one day you will have the opportunity to meet each other, even though you live on opposite sides of the world. I hope that this is what life has in store for you!

With a large canvas like this journey, new co-travelers keep on joining and I find it is a spectrum of vivid colors and intellectual pleasures. The secret lies in keeping the mind open for a new breeze.

Me and my husband are also foreigners to each other, but we survived and love grew before we thought. Don't lose hope and if you are sure with what you feel for her, let her know. Good Luck.

Once I mentioned my love for her but she coolly avoided a direct response. Probably, she is more matured than I am in this respect, and she need more time before a seed of love for me germinates in her mind. I am mindset for a wait and watch.

Don't mind the distance as long as your hearts unite and beat as one.I don't believe in internet dating before until i met my husband in a chat room.nine years later, we're blessed with two beautiful kids and still going strong.If your intention is noble then i'm sure you'll find a way.
