In this garden of life friends are the flowers. They brighten up your day with their laughter and warmth and fill your heart with their love.
It has been a very eventful journey, sometimes bumpy, sometimes smooth. Lots of friends to love and support and others who abused.
I learned a lot from IFF. I learned I am not alone in this world; I am not the only one with problems. I learned together we could overcome any hindrances in life.
I have also been blessed with many good friends because of IFF, who are there all over the world. Friends, who were by my side in the blink of an eye when I needed them. Friends, who stayed awake with me because I couldn’t sleep, who dried my tears when I would weep. Friends, who called me up when they heard a plane crashed into a building in Manhattan a few weeks back, although I was miles away from it. Friends, whom I can trust with my life.
I had taken a small sabbatical from IFF, because of certain reasons. However I came back as these same friends asked me to. Now I feel its time to move on. I will miss everything about it. I will miss the lobby chats, the good blogs and the blog wars. I will miss all the lovely divas of IFF and my favorite flirts. I will even miss the lobby fights.
I enjoyed my stay in IFF thoroughly. My very close friends who are on my messenger I am never far from you. To the others I bid adieu.
Good Bye and Good Luck everyone.
Love you all always      Romita

Dear Romita,
You might think it odd for me to comment. I am not doing this do solicit a response. We have a bit of a history you and I. I want you to know that first and foremost you have always been the best writer across the fence from me. I want you to know that I respect you as an opponent, more than you imagine. I made several errors with you, and for these I am regretful.Things could have and should have been different but they were not. But never think I have overlooked nor missed the significance of your contributions.
It is very difficult to be in the middle of a struggle with two great determined friends.
I want to encourage you to continue Blogging at Sulkeha, it is not a site that attracts much gossip. It is difficult to promote the fighting and backbiting that goes on here on that site. It takes a while to get known, but the writing cream rises to the top. There are no popularity lists there. You are a talented writer and I think you not only enjoy writing sometimes you need to write it is therapy ( in a sense ) for you.
I want to wish you happiness and joy in your new rebirth. I know it is difficult yet I also am confident you will meet the challenge and beat it and come out a winner. I am hopeful that you will allow my sincere post to appear yet if you don't that too is OK, it is meant for you and no one else. Hopefully I will see you at Sulkeha and we can have a fresh start.
Respectfully, Spencer

Dear RomitaNY
We will be waiting for your return. As you said in your post A Phoenix That’s ME[/B]“Please wait and watch. I will find my happiness and then I shall slap it back at your face. Allow me to completely burn to ashes, and then see me arise from it like the mythical phoenix. I shall then dazzle you with the beautiful plumage of happiness within me,please come back soon with happiness.
All the very Best. COLOR]

Romita...
I know one thing for sure, I m NOT gonna miss you here, COZ I hardly see u here these days. But, whenever we met at the lobby, I enjoyed my flirting with you and I will miss that. 
On a serious note, I wish you all the best in life. Certain decisions ought to be taken at some stage, and I respect people who take decisions.
I would only REQUEST you NOT to DELETE your PROFILE. I would be pained to see ROMITANY being deleted. Pls dont do that, its a sincere request from your Knight. ( if this emotional thing works )
Like you mentioned, I am not too far away you, feel free to Buzz me.
Luv - SJ

It is very hard to say Goodbye to you.....but as the saying goes...."The world is round so we can meet again". I wish you all the best wishes for your future life, but before this hour of parting, I have just these three words to say 'FORGET ME NOT'....
Take care and God bless you...... &

Romita ,
I believe we have not talked much but what we have has always been sense, not flirtatious (nothing wrong with flirtatious though as long as it is just that and not meant to hurt anyone) - I enjoyed my talking twice with you and thereafter occasional chat in the lobby.
What impressed me the most is that you contributed positively on some greatly needed issues viz AF(SP)Act; not many of us have given serious thought to it but you did and whatever be your opinion, opposed to mine, it was logically argued. We differed and I believe WE AGREED TO RESPECT our positions without any personal acrimony coming into it. I value that; not many of us quite manage to do that.
Spencer has said it all too.
Best wishes and happy landings - should you ever feel the need, you can buzz me.
Govind

My Knight   
Any request from you is a command for me. I shall try my best to fulfill it. You are truly one fine gentleman I have ever met. I would always remember the day when you came to my rescue in the lobby. You were always there waiting patiently by my side, quietly looking after me. You will always be my knight in shining armour.
Love you very much    Your Queenie  (Finally i can sign this way now)

Angel  Never think I neglect you or I am away from you. I believe that when you are true friends one can always be near even when we're far. I cherish friendship and value friends, but when asked to choose between friends I may not be able to do so.
Wish you all the best in life dear Love you and you shall always be close to my heart.

Thank you for taking the time to write in my goodbye post. I have always maintained that both brickbats and bouquets are welcome from genuine people. Its the fakers and abusers i usually ban from commenting. I have also kept each and every post of mine an open one, where people are free to put in their two cents. Hence deleting your comment is out of question.
Yes writing is therapy for me, but I do not feel the need to put it up on public display. I used to always write in private, it wasn't till the beginning of this year that I had decided to put up my blog. Thank you very much for your suggesting Sulekha. However I no longer wish to publish my works anymore.
As for taking sides between friends, I do not feel a little spark of misunderstanding between friends should be stoked so much that it turns into a full fledged fire that burns everything. So I choose to keep myself away.
Finally a brave warrior fights all the battles, and a smart warrior chooses the battles he/she feels worthy of a fight.

I always believe there's a time, place and persona for everything. I can talk serious topics with people who wish to do so and be coquettish with those who want to flirt with me, provided i feel the same.
If one wants to, then any disagreement can be peacefully resolved. Its the sideliners that cheer people on for their own entertainment. This is applicable for everything, even relationships. I may not have understood this before, but with the experience of a failed relationship behind me, its become crystal clear.
One has so much to achieve and so much to do in the real world. Why waste time fighting for virtual real estate, when with the flick of a power switch your whole foundation can be shattered.
Thanks a lot for your kind words Romita

I always valued your comments on my blog. They were little snatches of poetry with a lot of deep thoughts and insights.
I have no clue what happened to your previous two comments (perhaps some glitch on IFF), as you know your comments are always welcome.
We shall be in touch on YM 
Thanks a lot and take care

Neways, I wish you all the best..
Do call me.. keep in touch...

Romiiiiii Sis, I think IFF has outlived its utility for the like of us.We came here to make friends and suceeded in making some real good friends.We formed great relationships that would last a lifetime.In recent times there has been an upsurge of fakes,IFF isnt the same as it was say a few months back,off late it has become quite disgusting I think you made a wise decision.IFF is the loser with you going away,on my part you will always be my ROMI sis.

I believe and have found solace in the fact, that everything in this world happens for a reason. IFF happened in my life for a reason too. I wouldn't have met so many friends and well wishers had it not been for IFF.
I am so glad everything worked out for u as well. Oh yes I keep myself well informed  Will always be there when and if u need me 
Take care bro Huggs to u

Awwww..so very sad to see you go..hmmm..and just when I was beginning to get to know you. Here's wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and please be reminded of the following >
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you will know exactly what to do.
Some people come in out lives and quickly go..Some people become friends and stay awhile leaving beautiful footprints on our heart...and, we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person or people involved; and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships, and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
May today there be peace within you. May you trust in the divine one, knowing that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing that you are a child of the Divine. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing,dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one of US.

I DONT LIKE FAREWELL'S YET HERES SUMTHING JUST FOR YOU...
I appreciate my new friends, but I cherish the old. They are more precious than mountains of gold. 4 truly a friendship is best, when it has withstood time's test. Never to wrinkle, never to gray, but to grow more beautiful as each season fades away. There's nothing in life that can heal or renew like a dear old friend that is you. Stay sweet and forever happy in watever you do, for we choose to live our life as we desire!!! oh dearRomi i will surely miss you.
