Ok, I admit.
I am a cry baby! I cry at the drop of a hat over anything and everything… Sometimes I cry for the silliest of things (like when my plant died after it was ignored because Noobie and I were travelling)…
Any good movie, book, blog, song or tweet is enough to make my cry.
Sometimes I get annoyed at myself, coz here I am sitting in the office and I read a report on some hungry children in Kenya and there drops a tear!! Now, its awright when at home, but at work, being caught wiping tears with a tissue can get really embarrassing!
If I am not wrong, I must get teary-eyed at least once in 2-3 days! In fact my hubby makes a lot of fun… Sometimes when I cry for no reason at all, he makes his oh-god-what-now face and says ‘Bahut din ho gaye the rone ka weekly quota khatam kar rahi ho?’ (Many days have passed since you last cried. Are you making up for the week’s quota?)
So, you get the point. I basically love to cry…
But I sometimes wonder ‘Is it a bad thing to cry’?
I can almost imagine Amitabh Bachchan roaring on the top of his voice ‘Mard ko dard nahi hota’… Basically crying has always been associated with women. Another stereotype. Reason? Possibly because women arent afraid of being mocked for crying or for that matter afraid of openly expressing their emotions. Men, on the other hand, are! They like to keep everything bottled up. In my honest opinion, it is important to cry some times, to get all the negative energy out… I am sure all will agree that crying definitely makes the head and the heart lighter…
Crying is not a sign of vulnerability nor is it a sign of weakness. Keeping pain bottled up may make you look macho/strong temporarily but eventually the volcano will burst and the lava will come out stronger than never before…
So, my dear friends, cry away! 
Do you remember this post by Reema?
You know, in my opinion, crying is not bad.. imagine when you cry, and the person you love the most comes to you, takes you in arms and says ‘it’s ok dear… everything will be fine..’.. so crying is not bad at all.
Thanks Suda. Just read it… I wholeheartedly agree with you!
Did you cry after reading this comment? No? Bah! Scratch what I said.. nobody should cry
Especially not girls. They should be banned from crying. It is so hard to stop them once they start

I completely agree nova
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. ~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, 1860
