"iniya puthandu nal vazhthukkal" - that's wish you a happy new year in tamil. good to know kartick and krishna were together for the weekend. would be good to hear from the silent krishna once in a while atleast on the blog. kanishk and i are getting prepared for a quick visit to the south; ravi uncle met bumba in hyderabad; akshaya is relaxing after the board exams (tenth); ananya starts class 4 from today; no news from archie and preeti; piyu atleast has blogged, tho no news from that; and shashank when i last spoke to him this morning was thrilled at having collected a turtle skull, a couple of rib bones and i don't know what else!!! he's in orissa with the greenpeace people, ostensibly to protect the olive ridley turtles.

i'm loving my work and liking the flexibility - more than anything, am thrilled at the idea of doing some productive work.
