Testing times for love!

I came back home thinking of skipping gym today due to back ache, although kept contemplating should I go since I might have to miss on friday as I am meeting few friends after work.
I came home, made some sandwich and tea and put on some TV. I normally watch love channel by cbs, all american shows...god I like them so much better than kanchivaram clad sari women.
Scrolling through I just ended up putting the news channel and saw explosions in dadar, mumbai. Currently being in Mumbai obviously surprised me not shocked since the cops were saying it seems like electricity short circuit but within few minutes it got confirmed it is a terrorist attack. Wow..a Shocked WOW, never thought this would happen in the city I am living in. I was still under disbelief until a dear friend texted me asking if I am ok. That got my brains ticking that it is serious which led me to message anyone I knew in Mumbai. It was not just a courtesy call but just the satisfaction that everyone I knew was safe. Then I got calls from few of my friends in US and messages on messanger from few. Suddenly it feels so good to know they are thinking about you and it does make a difference maybe micromini difference that you are alive. We humans are so selfish wanting more and more love and attention from everyone. It feels good if they checked on you but it hurts if someone you thought was close to you didnt even bother to find out about your safety. Someone rightly said, everyone will be there during your happy times, but the person who stands by your difficult times is the true test of friendship.
