Ha ha, thanks for the tap dancing hunks Doreen, you've been a constant source of inspiration and support. Your pan has moved mountains for me On a serious note however, thank you for always being around with a kind word and support. Kudos to you, this celebration is as much yours as it is mine !!!

There's that ray of sunshine I've been missing. Thanks Jo for being an integral part of my journey. To a great extent, I have reached here with your support and the support of this beautiful bunch of people I consider family which I shall never forget. A champion is only as good as her coach, and I've had such excellent coaches on my journey. I've stumbled but have been able to pick myself up and keep going because of the motivation I get from you and everyone else on here. 6 months is indeed amazing, way further than what I had the last time I quit. Will celebrate by going for a movie and dinner tomorrow, from me to me Thank you for the kind words and the incessant support Jo, this feeling of being on this milestone is phenomenal.

This is just like Mumbai however it floods even when the rains are what we expect each year, because guess what, the way we generate trash clogs all the drains, hence rainwater and silt cannot get out and floods the city. As a planet, we are hurtling towards our own doom, without even realizing it (at least most people don't). Glad to know you're ok Jo.

11 Hey Fluffy, All well, how are you?

So yes, I know the first question that might pop up in your head is wait, what? Superheroes and smoking? What kinda connection is that? Well, I'm a huge nerd/geek/fangirl (whatever other fancy term you may want to use) and a big big follower of the comic book/superhero universe. And though I love both DC (Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Green Arrow etc) and Marvel (Ironman, Spiderman, Dr. Strange, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Thanos, Loki etc) the one guy that stands above all for me is Batman. Why him you may ask? Because Batman is amongst that rare breed of superheroes, who doesn't necessarily have any superpower, per se. He's not faster than a speeding bullet, webs don't shoot out of his hands, he doesn't have the strength of a God. In fact, he's a lot more human than any other superhero I know. What he has is grit and determination, to train better, have better gadgets, use technology and science to overcome superhuman challenges, and yes of course he's rich :p Point being, Batman grapples with his own self every single day, when confronted with the question: Why does he fight? Why not leave it to the others who have a lot of extra things going for them. Why put his mind and body through incessant beatings, efforts and still see himself come up short sometimes against people with higher abilities, and then why doesn’t he give up, but enter the foray again? And the answer he gets is because he can. Because it is possible to try and make his city (Gotham) safer. Because he can fight back, even if not win each time. Because the body may heal, but not acting when he could have, that scar the mind cannot get rid off. Day after day, he chooses to fight and each time he chooses not to bow down to his own fears, he wins. That's where each of our battles with smoking come in. Nicotine addiction is a relentless foe. I have read so many posts here about people coming so close to smoking. Some in week 3, some in month 5, some even after a year or more. It sneaks up on you in your weakest moments, and makes you believe that lighting up will solve everything that is going on with you. And each of us fights that addiction, day in day out, incessantly. Each one of us is a superhero. We’ve all got our weaknesses, our problems, but each one of us chooses to fight them rather than give in to the craving of smoking. It’s the easier bit, giving in. But keeping on fighting, now that is the stuff of legends. So kudos to each and every one of you. As Alfred Pennyworth (Batman’s Butler and confidante) once reminded him: Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
