Let's Hug ??

What a way to start the new year !! Well, I was away from my blog for almost three days just after posting my previous post. No, wasn’t holidaying and some of you got worried, wrote me mails. Some thought I was traveling. Oh la la ! So much concern ? I am flattered. I thank all of you once again for your concern and affection. That makes me more humble and proud & at the same time that makes our bond a lot more stronger.

Oh my my, so much of sweetness here on my blog. Hope no one is diabetic. Ahaa ! Lots of hugs also ;) While some gave me hugs, a few got from me; there were some hopefuls who were of the opinion that since this is New Year, everybody should get hugs from me. Hmmm nice reasoning I must say. :))) Well, I am a bit miser in this matter, can’t give a hug unless I “feel” like giving it.

Now, that brings up a long forgotten sleeping question again. Question ?? I am slowly getting into this bad habit of asking questions, thanks to one of you.

I know the importance of a real life hug. It is self-explanatory, "I include you in my circle of caring." Arms go out to another in a warm embrace. A hug is a spontaneous signal of acceptance. A hug holds a universe of silent meaning. In all of humanity, embracing is a symbol of togetherness and belonging.
Moreover, hugs are loaded with benefits. It is healthy, keeps us healthier. It cures depression, it reduces stress, it's stimulating, rejuvenating and it has no unpleasant side effects !! In short, hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.

But what about the virtual hug ? It doesn’t matter where it pops up.. on your computer screen or on your cell. Does it have the same effect ? Does one feel that close to a person as in real or is it just a formal way of conveying something informal ? When people say hugzzz, what do they actually want to convey ?

Are you going to hug a person in real to whom till now, you are showing your affection through various virtual means ? And why ?

Ok, more simple - Who all of you are going to hug me if you happen to meet me in real ? Hmmm... I can see countless hands going up ;) Heyy you !! please don’t raise both your hands, ok ?

WAITTTTTTTT !!!!

Don’t expect the same from me. As I said earlier, I don’t even give a virtual hug till I “feel” like hugging that person. And right now, I am not for any gorilla / bear hug. Instead, I have developed a fetish for tigers these days. So a tiger hug for me. ;)
