align="center"&gt;Of red and white and blue&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Connected side by side, became&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The flag of France, so true&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

align="center"&gt;What every girl adores.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I tried to answer once again,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The questions of my mind&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

align="center"&gt;Deep within my heart&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;A place for peace, a place for love&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Would only, only start&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

tagged'/><title type='text'>Musical Memories: I've been Tagged</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" href="http://manta57.blogspot.com/"&gt;Loz&lt;/a&gt; started this meme called 'Musical Memories' which was then passed onto me by &lt;a href="http://wforwonder.blogspot.com/"&gt;Wonder&lt;/a&gt;. This meme is about listing between 5 and 10 songs which have made an impact on my life. However, I'll simply twist it a little bit, and list the songs which have left and emotional impact on me somehow. So I thought I'd spice up my blog a little with this meme, thanks to Wonder!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we go:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack. It's one of these inspirational songs that always lights this little flame of hope within me when I feel down. A beautiful song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 Who wants to live forever? by Queen. This particular song always leaves me in an emotional wreck. It reminds me of very close and beloved friends of mine, who live in a hopeless atmosphere of war and conflicts. The very title of this song is the exact words one of them once said to me, when speaking of the war situation in their country: 'Who wants to live forever?'. When death becomes less painful than life itself, we should reconsider appreciating life than claiming wars, only to destroy what's left of hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 Because you loved me by Celine Dion. It remain me of my wonderful mother. 'I'm everything I am' because of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 I will survive by Gloria Gaynor. Uplifting, inspirational and wise song, that reminds me of a friend who got divorced. A rare, special friend at heart. And she will survive. Yes, she will survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 Remember Me by Josh Groban. Beyond my words..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK. I'm not going to tag specific people for this meme, but rather everyone who reads this post and who is interested and wants to join. This way anyone interested can join, so feel free to let me know if you're writing a post with this meme (in the comment section) so my readers and I get to read your version ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy writing!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-5775279246802548214?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/5775279246802548214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=5775279246802548214' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5775279246802548214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5775279246802548214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/06/musical-memories-ive-been-tagged.html' title='Musical Memories: I&apos;ve been Tagged'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-2844241467601234829</id><published>2007-06-15T15:27:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-06-15T15:48:16.626Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poetry'/><title type='text'>Terrorist Defined</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://api.ning.com/files/lNmGTCWvx2*972DiopsO5DZmibVojubMHyBgr77ECgg=?width=425&amp;height=318"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://api.ning.com/files/lNmGTCWvx2*972DiopsO5DZmibVojubMHyBgr77ECgg=?width=425&amp;height=318" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Terror as medicine&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;To cure terror as disease&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Crime against crime&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Tooth by tooth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Eye by eye&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Break a leg, rip the skin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Drill holes in the heads&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Easy!

Alright, as my exams are coming up pretty soon, I would like to inform you that I will be hibernating for about two weeks time until the last exams are over. These are the finals guys, so please please please wish me good luck. All prayers needed! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Meanwhile I'd appreciate if any of you could &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;review my blog&lt;/span&gt;. I think I have come to the stage where the blog seems to have "settled", so I'd like to invite all my readers, including you, to check out this blog, see what you like, what you don't, what you want to see more of, you name it. Just pour out anything on your heart. Don't just say "your blog is nice/bad". WHAT is nice, WHAT is bad? Be specific ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TWO THUMBS UP and a BIG thank you to all my readers. I totally appreciate every single one of you.

It sounds fun, so here we go:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1: I'm obsessed with poetry. Sometimes I feel it's easier to express my emotions using poetry than other forms of creative writing, and at times, even speech!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2: I can be totally nocturnal at times (but not always - I have crazy sleeping pattern), living life at night time. It gives me the pleasure of the combination of total silence and deep concentration.. it just feels, ah, perfect!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3: I have this passion and love for animals. I understand them (although at times, agressive animals scare the breath out of me!). People come to me and say, "oh that's just a dog, he's dumb, just ignore him" and I look into that dogs eyes, see it smile, and almost feel him saying "that human is retarted, just ignore him!". And btw, while we're at it, I've always wished for a white arabian since childhood. One day hopefully, I'll get one. One day..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4: At times, I usually get obsessed with photography, and take hundred of shots in one day. Few would turn out nice and neat, however sometimes, the blurry effect makes me frustrated.. Sharpness, sharpness, sharpness! I need sharpness and a new SLR camera! :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5: Colour makes my heart sing! I totally cannot live without colour. So when people ask "what's your favourite colour?", I say "blue", sometimes "green", sometimes "pink", sometimes "red".. I love them all, so what should I say? The rainbow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6: I'm obsessed with my pc, internet and blog. I must be crazy, as I check my blogs at least twice a day for comments and feedback, only to see only few and sometimes none has commented. It kinda breaks me.&lt;br /&gt;So I sit hours and hours trying to edit and improve the blog. Like DesigningFairy, I only end up with a banging headache and at times, frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#7: I didn't get to see the sea in my whole life, until last year when I went to a trip to Blackpool. I know it's weird, it's like: EVERYBODY has seen the sea.. but no, I never saw it until last year. And I thought: wow! Truly beautiful. I've put some pictures on this blog, if you want to check them out. I love the sea! The feeling of freedom :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK. I'd like to tag: &lt;a href="http://bosque-santa.blogspot.com/"&gt;Steven Alexander&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://disjointedintelligence.blogspot.com/"&gt;Wonder Woman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://evolution6683.blogspot.com/"&gt;Evolution83.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright then, have a nice day everyone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-7577053505813121193?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/7577053505813121193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=7577053505813121193' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/7577053505813121193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/7577053505813121193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-got-tagged-7-weird-things-about-me.html' title='I Got Tagged!! - 7 weird things about me'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-4368760697527168999</id><published>2007-05-17T01:53:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-05-17T02:15:57.711Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love Poetry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friendship Poetry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poetry'/><title type='text'>Poetry: I feel oh so lonely</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;I feel oh so lonely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a rose with no petals&lt;br /&gt;A sky with no stars&lt;br /&gt;A world with no people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emptiness only&lt;br /&gt;In this room&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No guidance, no light&lt;br /&gt;All colours drained&lt;br /&gt;Like reality fading&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This place&lt;br /&gt;This life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No thoughts, no words&lt;br /&gt;Only a silent lullaby&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I feel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, so lonely&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Copyright © Realm of Reema&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-4368760697527168999?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/4368760697527168999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=4368760697527168999' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/4368760697527168999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/4368760697527168999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/05/poetry-i-feel-oh-so-lonely.html' title='Poetry: I feel oh so lonely'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-5555680557082611805</id><published>2007-05-07T23:14:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-05-09T18:30:38.343Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Art and Design'/><title type='text'>Past Art Work</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;These are some of my experimental, pastel art work produced few years ago.

Its systematic ripples almost hypnotise me, I'm spellbound. Its beauty appeals.. almost magical. I'm breathless. Me and the sea only, nothing beyond, nothing behind. It draws me closer, closer. My bare skin is almost in contact with the water. I hear distant sounds from behind me. In a far away place children are crying. Men are screaming. Something is up, something really bad. I can sense it. Something is burning. Sirens about to sounds. I should turn. I sould run to help. But the water.. it attracts me. No muscle is moving, and somehow I'm gliding just above the ground's surface. Like a magnet the sea attracts me, little by little.. so slowly, I'm almost there. The screams and cries are getting louder, perhaps closer. But I don't want to know. I don't want to turn. I can't turn, no, not now.. I'm almost there! The water, oh how perfectly cool it now feels against my skin. Rising, rising.. reaching my chest now. An ice-cold relief and some invisible hands turn me to face what once was behind me: A burning city, ruined homes. I see orphans, dead bodies.. I smile, one last time, before the sucking power of death overtakes me. I am free.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-1227054312323539257?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/1227054312323539257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=1227054312323539257' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/1227054312323539257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/1227054312323539257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/04/escape-from-reality.html' title='Escape From Reality'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-5443859691271523823</id><published>2007-04-27T14:24:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-04-29T14:19:35.767Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iraq War'/><title type='text'>I'm Not Every Girl</title><content type='html'>When you look at me, you think you know me. You look at me and I smile. Like a mirror I reflect the rays back to you and you smile back, though you don't know me. You think I'm happy. You look into my eyes, they're so intense! You feel the warmth in them, it makes you feel comfortable, it assures you. You look at me dance, I glide through air! So smoothly, so gracefully, each step a perfection. And when I speak, I whisper. You can barely hear me.. a protection in voice. So you look at me, and you think you know me. Please, look again, try to see me! Behind the smile, there are endless nights of crying. Behind my eyes, there's an empty sadness. The dancing you observe is nothing but the silent scream to the world.. please understand, I'm not every girl.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-5443859691271523823?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/5443859691271523823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=5443859691271523823' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5443859691271523823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5443859691271523823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/04/im-not-every-girl.html' title='I&apos;m Not Every Girl'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-161574195990788686</id><published>2007-04-27T09:23:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-04-29T14:21:32.434Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women&apos;s Worth'/><title type='text'>The Silence Before The Strike</title><content type='html'>Speaking of isolation there's nothing left in this world. Everything is far worse now. Like the terrifying silence before the strike. Everyone's attacking everyone. Everyone's being arrogant. They think they know it all. They think they know everything. I hate them! I hate all of them, down to the last person. Oh, I really, really do! Those who believe they're really something, and those who are dumb enough to believe and worship these arrogant people. And all men who got no respect for women. They think they're so superior when they're really all losers without the female presence. Then they, most of them, think about sex in such a backward way. Most men see females and girls as pure objects. And when they're angry they call us bitches and whores. They beat us, insult us, abuse us. Then they want respect from us, as if they deserve it for free. Can you believe that!? It would surprise me if I met one, normal, loving, caring man. Really, I'd be surprised..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-161574195990788686?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/161574195990788686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=161574195990788686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/161574195990788686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/161574195990788686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/04/silence-before-strike.html' title='The Silence Before The Strike'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-1948724788730517077</id><published>2007-04-26T21:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-04-29T14:21:08.142Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women&apos;s Worth'/><title type='text'>Speaking of Divorce</title><content type='html'>The house is quiet. Nobody's around, except my mom. I feel so isolated. Again, a cageless prisoner. This whole world, this life is a prison. I'm doomed to be here whether I want to or not. A continued pace. Step by step. Breath by breath. This has been the most confusing and most boring time of my life. But nobody cares. Nobody knows. And it doesn't matter if they know or not, what would they change anyway? Yeah, that's right, everything would just remain the same... Like this self-declared war. I hate adults! I don't want to grow up. Not at all, I mean it. The way adults hate each other. The way adults don't use their brains to think. The way adults ruin families, lives! I swear, the more they grow older, the dumber they become. Their hearts harden, their souls evaporate.. You know, the bad thing in life is when two adults, a wife and a husband, don't love eachother anymore. Nothing compares.. Nothing!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-1948724788730517077?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/1948724788730517077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=1948724788730517077' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/1948724788730517077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/1948724788730517077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/04/disaster-divorce.html' title='Speaking of Divorce'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347753672978783091.post-5974180507185008380</id><published>2007-04-26T20:44:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-04-29T14:22:47.993Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women&apos;s Worth'/><title type='text'>When Love Is Forgotten</title><content type='html'>I dunno. Sometime I feel so lonely. Like a lost creature in a faraway, forgotten world. A person, a place nobody remembers no more. An untold fairytale. And I really wish I had something, someone here with me. A hand, a shoulder. Anything. But I guess.. Reality is not as sweet as it seems. Like do you really believe in love? I think I did. Once. But it's so fake... It's always fake! People love no more! Feel no more! Their ignorance, their arrogance - there's no heart within their chests. You've seen how people so coldly divorce their wives? Let their children suffer? Seek the worldly desires of sexual lust rather than pure and honest love. Compassion, caress.. Animals no longer seem like animals. These very men do. They tower above us thinking they are dominant, that we have to obey them no matter what. What's up with the world today? What's up with everyone? We hurry through life in love with this world. And so our hearts turn to stone and steel and we slowly, but surely, forget the sweet taste of love. The doom of desire..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/347753672978783091-5974180507185008380?l=realm-of-reema.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/feeds/5974180507185008380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=347753672978783091&amp;postID=5974180507185008380' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5974180507185008380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/347753672978783091/posts/default/5974180507185008380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realm-of-reema.blogspot.com/2007/04/when-love-is-forgotten.html' title='When Love Is Forgotten'/><author><name>Reema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17290184705533275456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
