Sit back, hold tight for you may fall a lot in these times.It the time when you need a hug when you are so desperate that you even talk to your pets(can be imaginary too :P) or cajole yourself in the happening world dreams. In this time, you feel so lonely that even time seems to cease and seconds turns to hours. I know this loneliness comes to everyone's life. More ever it is a general phase of life.
