Dear Blue,
I’m finding it really difficult to respond to your post comparing a life of chosen frugality to a life of enforced frugality.
Ever since our first quaint online correspondence with each other more than a year back — do you remember your first e-mail to me? — I have thought of you fondly, as a friend. Even though we didn’t meet up when you were in India, you have been a regular presence in my online life.
