Words and Worlds: Rana

It's Valentine's Day,and here I am,thousands of miles away from my special guy and from all my special friends....it's amazing how strongly these cultural notions affect us.Glad to say however that for me personally, it really doesn't matter, because every day is special and every day an occasion to speak about our feelings to people we love.
One of these people is my friend Rani-a childhood friend who despite time,circumstances and distances( we are now continents and oceans awayfrom each other-she's in France and I'm in Canada) has been always there for me.We've seen each other as schoolgirls,giddy teenagers,married women, mothers and now 'mature' adults and through it all have held on to each other.Can't really explain the bond, but she and her family are now family to me.
Rani is an intelligent,talented,funny,wise,emotional, brave,loyal and one who has emerged stronger from all her trials and tribulations(and she's been through quite a few).She's also pigheaded,demanding and can be very hard to persuade,but what I remember of our times together is the sheer joy and fun that we've had.
So today, Rani created this joint blog and we hope to have friends, in separate places but held together by bonds of love and friendship, to join us as we examine our different worlds.
