March 2013 and we Move on

Feb 2006 was when we started. Feb 2013 was a repeat of of the previous years, saw the least number of comments. Time takes its toll on everything. March is a cruel month in India because of the rising temperature, water shortage, and year ending financial operations. Chidambaram has also not sprung any surprises this budget.

2012 Posts and a Happy and Prosperus 2012

Finally 2012 is upon us (almost) and we will know for sure whether we, humans, will exist at the end of the year or not. Prophecies and predictions apart, 2012 promises to be a exciting year with lots and lots of changes in store – some good and some bad and some that has the potential to become super bad.
Many of us in the photosphere turn our thoughts to the changes we wish would come true in the New Year ahead. In this regard, we would like to make one wish that no matter what future bring to us but lets create a beautiful and productive world around us. May god cherish each one of us and help us to get our desired goals in life with good health . In the meantime Wish you and your Family a Happy and Prosperous NEW YEAR 2012!!!!!

November 2011

there's blogger young and blogger old
in tropical climes and canada cold
some so regular as if on cue
we've got bloggers in our fighting force
in banking law and at the bourse
church affairs and education too
but where the hell is blogger new

all our blogger girls and blogger boys
(even serial george and ms christine poise)
have reached our proverbial waterloo
finding needle-in-the-haystack blogger new

nothing seems to be far more greater
than the years spent in the alma mater
we bloggers will do what bloggers do
with or without the elusive new

where are the stanesman when the world seems to need one,
