Welcome 2008

*Yaaaawn*

So is it that time of the year again? A time when winter is at its peak, when you eat a lot of Gajar ka Halwa, gain a few kgs. It is January the first, the first day of a new year. To tell you something, I don't really believe in the New Year spirit... No, no, I'm not completely cynic (only like 36%), it is just that I'm too much of a lazy bum to get out of the cosy covers and run around calling every other chum out there who's probably as much of a lazy bum as I am...

So well, this post is obviously late in coming... no I am not apologizing, just finger pointing at my busy schedule for that ("He did it!"). It will spill out some nonsense about me, but otherwise its just fine for idle slumps like me (and you) to read this post thinking there is something interesting out of it. I believe you won't, but since you have decided to read it (I assume you have because you have come this long) better get on with it.
