Sweet !<BR/><BR/>I have had girl-crushes too, especially in college as a junior, looking at some of those ( well, two of them to be specific) peacock-like amazingly beauteous, charming and intelligent senior girls.I guess I did become one of them when I reached my final year, since there were juniors looking up to me by then :-)<BR/><BR/>Life does come a full circle !<BR/><BR/>Neerja Bhanot - She is worth all the fan following ( incluce me too).How truely beautiful and damn brave of a woman!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21672309.post-18163813992671463392008-06-02T23:29:00.000+01:002008-06-02T23:29:00.000+01:00Zephyr: I wasn't actually referring to that kind o...Zephyr: I wasn't actually referring to that kind of idolisation but I see your point about it being a psychological thing, a real-life version of carrying out virtual makeovers on digtised photos just to see what suits us best :)And yet, when it comes to siblings, even when the curtain falls off and the truth is revealed, what existed before doesn't cease to exist. That's the beauty of such relations.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: I am full of surprises, I am! :D Neerja Bhanot seems just so perfect! Beautiful, gutsy, full of character and immortalised thus. I'm glad you said she 'is' beautiful rather than 'she was'... she most certainly IS!<BR/><BR/>Mystique Wanderer: True that, specially if life's worth were to be measured in the amount of memories gathered :)Thanks for visiting!<BR/><BR/>Impulsively Me: That's the beauty of growing up, isn't it? Being your own person and liking that person... bouts of depression only serve to highlight happiness in other times! <BR/><BR/>Romi: Thank you! I guess this is what I would call immortality, leaving an indelible impression on someone, rather than being famous and in the pages of some periodical. Of course, it is an immortality that is limited to one person's life and memories... but better that, better having been such a huge part of one person's life even if it was short, than being well-known for being well-known without leaving a lasting impression of anything concrete.

Perhaps it's more of a fleeting thing as you age but I do find myself thinking back on certain people who positively influenced my life like your cousin. They leave an indelible impression.Rosemary Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491289415279715164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21672309.post-5930335825985235012008-06-01T14:22:00.000+01:002008-06-01T14:22:00.000+01:00I indulged in idol worship too as a kid ..

Not many from our generation (I take it you are in your early 20s)would care to remember the gutsy gal. She's beautiful indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21672309.post-36534775403261020082008-05-28T13:50:00.000+01:002008-05-28T13:50:00.000+01:00Hmm...(smiles) Yes it seems that feeling is strong...Hmm...(smiles) Yes it seems that feeling is strong and still somewhat surprisingly so less talked about! Come to think of it, it isn’t such an obvious fact that we do tend to depend much of the shaping of our identity on our elders and our idols, much of it done with our own honest intention. In psychology study idolising is referred to mere means for brain to establish our own thought patterns it sees fit. What I do mean to say is that it is such an important part of our lives to be a hero of sort for our younger siblings that it feels something missing inside you. I dread the day when I will no longer be a guidance to my sister (no wonder I take all her healthy pummels bravely, Ouch!!! still hurts). <BR/><BR/>But when people don't find their imagined stars in their elder siblings or parents for that matter, many unfortunately go through their journey with a bit sourness and ruptured identity!Zephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17206865013686215063noreply@blogger.com
