If love brings joy then why do we find it difficult to love ?

I wonder if it is alright not to regret over a decision which involved firmly believing that consequences be damned there will be no regrets.

Given that it is unusual in any case, is it a normal reaction to feel a tinge of regret ? Or, in other words, can feelings and expressions of regret be completely negated specific to decisions and to individuals ? If indeed that is so, can they be expanded to become the underlying core of leading a life ?

Over a period of a week I've watched, read and talked with a not-really-a-friend (as in, I'd have never believed I was on the list which this person maintained to share thoughts with) going through a situation I went through a decade ago. And, taking the same stance, for similar reasons. But, regretting it so deeply that there is some element of personal failure and low self-esteem going around. As I write this I don't really have a handle on how this situation is going to turn around. I'm a bit not-optimistic about the eventual outcome.

If love brings joy then why do we find it difficult to love ? Purely selfish reasons should compel us to be loving and be eager to lead happy lives.

In which TastyKhana disappoints us.

Yet again.

The first time we had tried the service was on 26May2011. The order (#56187) was placed and, during the call back they mentioned that:

  • the kitchen will open later and they have no information about it
  • the kitchen is out of gas and hence they have no idea about order fulfillment

We tried today (order #63133). The call back happened and, we were told:

  • the selected dishes are available only on weekends
  • the kitchen is out of gas and hence they can only open post 2000 hours and thus no idea about the order

This is disappointing at many levels. TastyKhana might just be responsible for delivery of the food/order, but since they are the interface via which the order is placed, it is their responsibility to provide information up-front. Such lackadaisical approach doesn't go well with the intended objective of getting orders raised and delivered.

I don't think we are going to try this again. Spoiling the scene both times is good enough reason to ditch a service.
