I AM ALIVE!

Every time I looked at the calendar I was happy, seeing the weekend coming closer. Two consecutive off days! There were so many things pending.

Though I was expecting my new work profile to be consuming, but I never thought it would be so overriding. In spite of all my efforts throughout the past fortnight, I failed to manage time to blog.

So, first thing I would do is to visit my favourite blogs and if possible post something, I decided. There were two tags from Jac and Aquamarine pending (almost for a month). I managed to sit and finished writing thems. But, thanks to many technical difficulties posting them remained to be a reality.

Here comes another weekend and with a little time to spare, trying to post them.

Here's the tag from Jac

Busy cracking formulas and theories of mathematics.

Five snacks you enjoy
Potato chips, Aloo Bhujia, rusk, peanuts and samosas.

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire
Millionire! Wow. What can a self-concerned man like me usually do when he has money to spend? Fulfill all personal needs like buying gadgets that supposedly make life efficient, easire and comfortable.

Hey, its been a long time since I visited you. What does this "new work profile" refer to? A promotion or a job switch? :)
BTW, fun to know that you like both Sarabhai Vs. Sarabhai and Dil Kya Chahata Hai! :D

ANY ANSWER?

Clemenceau… The ship that died. But didn’t stop killing. Imagine you're the State of France. What do you do with a 27,000-tonne warship full of asbestos, PCBs, lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals, which you don't want and no European country is willing or able to scrap for you? Why, you send it off to India to be broken up by hand in a scrapyard where impoverished workers are injured and die every day? GREENPEACE, india
