2 OH OH 9.....

Life blossoms every minute
Math complicates with infinite

Two led to a billion
A story inscribed on a medallion

Past is a mere reflection
Future is a speculation

Oh!Creator of the mystery
A new year for thee

A new year for me.......... 2 o o 9!!

What we all hope for is that every new year is better than the previous. Ahem!!...well with the current g-lobal and g-local scenario, all would be wishing it was atleast the same as the previous year. Unfortunately, that isnt so!
Oh!bama....where r thou?? Of recent, change is observed by the hour which was unprecedented and not what was envisioned! One after the other sectors are falling like a pack of cards; the end result being rising unemployment rate. Population rate isnt going down either in India.
The ongoing situation is said to be worse than the great depression of 1929. It took about ten years then for countries world wide to make a U-Turn. I wonder what is in store now.... Mathematicians seem to live in their own little world of sigmas, logarithms and other scary characters. A scene in the movie 'the day the earth stood still' where the so called human alien (K.Reeves) rewrites a formula on the blackboard, originally written by some scholar who was in the end dumbfounded....and he exclaims aghast..."...its not possible". Keanue had his usual flat expression less face which started with MATRIX. I wished someone explained the whole sequence to me.... Maybe Nostradamus made a mistake using his archaic symbology....but 'numbers' sure are a wonder!! Who invented them is still a debate, believed to be arabs and indians....but the incorrigible chinese also made their mark here!! Everything is made in China these days, hence no point in arguing over cheap technology that delivers....

2009 is here!! No mysteries unravelled at this point of time.....So as long as the earth continues to rotate I might as well make my new year resolutions....The list is long, hence I dont want to bore myself....but for the BIG 3 -

Traveling and Photography - 'YES' !
Keeping in touch with family/relatives and friends frequently - 'YES' !
Cooking & maintaining a healthy routine - 'YES' !

The first one is easy enough provided my new employer understands the need to combine it with 'work'. Oh yeah!! I never did mention. I am back in good ol' gujju land...same work...same atmo....familiar faces....but a different employer. Never really took it that seriously when friends predicted even before i came to texas, that I would end up coming back to Amdavaad. I will have to brush up my Gujarati once again and 'spehllings'...

Ex-Cited ?? To be part of Navratri celebrations once again - 'YESsssssssssss'!!

Nice verses!!

Hey, your second resolution is same as my first one! Hopefully 2009 would be better than 2008 in terms of being in touch.
