Much Needed Break......
I am off to a small sleepy town "Kelashi", to meet Dad and Mom. Dad has been posted there since last year.
And he has been all praise for this place. Its a small town in the Ratnagiri district, on the coastal Maharashtra ( also known as Konkan ). Hoping to have some good time.( A bit scared because of the tsunami thing )
Will be posting some snaps of the country side once I am back from the trip.
I have been working pretty hard recently and need to slow down a bit. Maybe this trip will charge me up for quite some time.
You guys have a nice time and enjoy.
BTW Sania lost to Serena in the third round of Australian open. Nevertheless she has done us proud and considering the fact that age is on her side I won't be surprised if she bags home a grand slam title in the coming days.

If you are a techie unlike me, working for Google is what you should aim for.
If you think Google is just a search engine, think again. Apart from the world's fastest search engine, they also have the fast growing 1GB mail service GMAIL and the hit online networking portal ORKUT. Not to forget the ground which we blog on, Blogger is also owned by Google.
And now they are offering a "mini" search application for SMEs. Check out the NEWS here.
If all you did on Google.com was search, check out the following pages on Google.com.
1) Features apart from searching on Google.
2) Free downloads from Google. My personal favorite is the Google Toolbar. ( It blocks the stupid annoying pop-ups )
3) Google's technology playground
4) The Google story.
5) All those creative holiday logos.

New Year Resolutions.......
Finding it really tough to keep up with my new year resolutions. Smoking is one killer addiction. Your body needs the nicotine and if you stop suddenly the body reacts in a weird way. I am having this irritating gum itch. Its been just a week since I inhaled that smoke from Goldflake lights and feels like its been almost ages. Its gonna be one tough resolution.
Drinking on the other hand is very easy to quit. Haven't had much trouble on that front. Just the SAD feeling when you cross a PUB while commuting.
But again as they say "Resolutions are meant to be broken", I think I will break the resolutions some day. But for the time being trying to stick with them.
Have been really busy last week. Blogging frequency has suffered due to the sudden spurt in the work assigned.
Called up a friend day before and had a long chat. Was speaking with her after couple of months. Felt really good after the talk. Decided to add one more resolution to the already tall list of resolutions. Try to catch up with old friends and be in touch with them. Once into a professional life you get tangled so much in the work that you tend to forget, there is more to life than just work.
