"Existence is not only temporary, it's pointless!"

And even then, here;s the day that reminds me that another year of my existence has just ended...

and a new one just begun.

Thank you very very much Akruti...for the wonderful wishes....and I promise to make my best shot at making you smile always...

So far, its been a wonderful birthday, a lot of good wishes coming my way, and I thank everyone for it.

Was also surprised and pleased to receive Somu 's call today...and i couldn't guess who its from initially...well...i sure am getting older.

From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way.

and before signing off, a poem Neha wrote for me...

"Your birthday's not just any day -
It's when the world was blessed
With an angel of a person
Who does his very best

To share a warm compassion
That keeps other's needs in mind,
A bright and sunny outlook,
And commitment to be kind,

Then adds a touch of humour,
A true and honest heart,
And a certain little sparkle
That sets angel-types apart..
Your birthday's not like any other day
The whole year through
'Cause it celebrates the day
The world was blessed
With very special YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! "

"Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend."..and I happen to have so many:-)

adios

Why am I sad today?

I am sad today...and I am tensed.

coz one of my best friend is about to go through the same hell that I went through 2 years ago....and I m feeling really sad...

sad, becoz I cant help ...sad becoz I see the tears & feel the pain...but cant be of much help....

the only thing that I can ask God is to give her the strength to go through it....and hope that things will turn out in her favour.

and very soon i'll see her smiling again....

oh lord,
i pray for her to be happy
i pray for things to go her way
i pray that she doesn't suffer...
like i did just yesterday.

give her the strength
to go through this test of fire...
to come out of it smilin...
and things going as her desire.

oh lord, give her...
what u never gave to me.
make all her dreams come true..
thats the best that can be!

amen.

Here she is...

Here are "her" much awaited pics....






Doesn't she look great??

Oh I am so much in love.....sigh...

And she's just done a 1000kms!!! Didn't I tell u they get better with time?

adios

P.S: Breview coming up next.....

Here I am...

This is me..
And there's nowhere else on earth i'd rather be..

So crooned bryan adams....and so say I.

I am back from a very very long break. And I apologise for the length of the break, which wasn't in my control. What else could I say for two weeks of sick leave from office, and bed-rest at home. Sucks, right?

Anyways all that s past now. I am fit n fine, and back at work :-( Also back at blogging and blog hoppin, so i'll be at all your blogs to pester you.

Smyta, thank you..i'll also cherish you as a friend...and what more can be a better friendship present than this return post :-)

Nupur, thanks for the wonderful words. The car is parked in Gurgaon, & I m takin good care of her....:-)

While at the vacation, there were many things going around, in my life, in the world, that I so much wanted to blog about, but couldn't. Life ain't always that fair. Anyways....

My car is doin great. Already 700+ kms, she's in for her 1st servicing today. And I simply am not able to upload the pics due to some problem with photobucket. Will try to resolve it and quickly post those snaps up.

and in the last few weeks, terrorism has proved that it can only claim innocent lives...in New Delhi, in Jordan, in Iraq.....all around the world. If not bin laden, then al-zawahiri(or whatever), if not him, some one else.....

is there an end to this menace? well, moderatism is a way out, but how many are willing to accept it is questionable. Tolerance is not easy.....

And what really surprised me was a small news item that appeared in Times Of India New Delhi edition a couple of days ago..it was about the death of two kids in Chechenya, who were apparently playing throw ball with, guess what, a hand-grenade!!

Shocking, isn't it?

ciao

P.S Thanks to all of you for your Diwali wishes, please accept my best wishes to you and your families.
