My passion for Indian food and mixed drinks was renewed this afternoon. That and having some much-needed girl talk, I am incredibly satisfied right now. From lunching and talking, I have come to realize several things.

Good things come out of being vulnerable. One of the girls that we went out to lunch with, I didn't know very well, and my knee-jerk reaction was to be my amiable self and let the others do most of the deep talking. Instead, when the opportunity presented itself, I shared my struggle with transparency and our conversation remained real and we all told our stories.

I don't have to be 100% sure that someone is "the one" before even giving him a chance. The realm of dating and like subjects is hard to navigate, especially someone like me who doesn't date just to date. I don't have to take it as seriously as marriage... go figure!

North India Bar and Grill is always a smart meal choice. Always.
