Let the celebrations begin ... !!

Today is 31st December again. In all these years gone by, I have seen plenty of changes in the world around me, like the advent of computers, mobile phones, ipods and we have said good byes to good ol' "PP" (Paas Padhos) nos., pocket diaries but the thing that remained same was the revelry and showbiz of the new year celebrations.

If you think about it, it seems all strange. Whats so special about new year. Don't we have a new day every 24 hours, or a month every 30 days, or 10 yrs every 120 months but we only seem to celebrate the coming of new year. And how ?? Simple, we drink and we dance and we shout :). Its just so primal.

But anyways, before you think that I am a sadist, let me clarify, I am just wondering about the reason of it all. And in no way trying to put the entire show down. In fact, I wonder why are we having so few of such public celebrations. We need more of them to let go of petty politics, back biting and if nothing else then a mob war over religion/caste.

So on this happy occasion, just one simple appeal to you all, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Respect your life and of others. Have fun and enjoy your self.
Did I tell you NOT TO DRINK AND DRIVE.

Fine, I will leave it a that.
Adios 2010, and lets welcome 2011 and hope that it will bring happiness, prosperity and peace to the whole of mankind. Amen.

And so it begins.....

So.. finally, after much pushing and shoving by friends and well wishers, I have decided to maintain this web diary :-). Whether this turns out to be a good or bad decision only time will tell. I am keeping my fingers crossed !!

I will be talking about things happening in and around me, frequently (hopefully !!)
Things like movies, travel, food, my favourite game Age of Empires and of course Technology (in the form of technical articles).

I hope you will enjoy them as much as I will.
So, let the joyride begin.. here I come bloggies, ;-)
