Bye Bye 2007! Welcome 2008!

So, how was the year 2007 to me personally, professionally, miscellaneously ? No major stuffs happened, though its always nice to recap a few of them, isn't it ?

• Well, few more of my college friends poured in to Hyderabad, which just added up to the fun and enjoyment we were having. We went on a trip to Manali, and I had a great time having fun with the group. Had some small fights and reunions ;)
• I got my N73! :P Suddenly got some interest in photography, and tried taking some funny shots now and then.
• I got my new bike, and even did some somersaulting ;)
• Woow, It was a big year for the Harry Potter maniacs (7th book, 5th movie). With the tension and expectations for the 7th Book. I just finished the day after the book got released, and felt happy one side about the book end and everything. Though felt sad that it has come to an end. Long live Harry Potter!
• In the office environment, we shifted our office to a new bigger building, though I miss the old one, very much. And I had some nice, fun moments with my team-mates, team-outing, parties, etc Not to forget the try-outs for caterers, and the free snacks scheme which lasted for few months ;)
• Just got a bit bored with Orkut (though they kept on releasing new stuffs), and got introduced to Facebook, and may be I can say that I got addicted to few of the apps there. I love them all.
  

I couldn't remember much though, except that I started looking at things a bit more seriously than the way I've been looking. I even started feeling like being more independent is always better. Lets see, how things are going to change my life in 2008.

Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2008!
Have fun.

Nostalgia

The memories are fresh as the morning dew.
Retrospecting life has always felt nice,
As those pleasant experiences get persisted
And the trauma, bad moments get flushed away.

So do the people in those memories.
Some of them just get faded away,
A few others stay back in our mind and thoughts
No matter how far they go beyond our reach.

For distance can't separate friendship!

Fun with etymology!

Can you guess the etymology for trivia or trivial ? I was just laughing and everything for around 5 minutes, when I read something like..

trivia = tri (three) + via (road), and when three roads meet, there'll be a junction and traffic signal, and that the people standing there in that traffic wouldn't utter any secret stuffs, but only trivial stuffs..

I guess, whenever I got struck up in a traffic, trivia is going to flash in front of me :) And Its always fun to know more about the etymology of words, and for what they've been used in those original days, and how they've got transformed to what they mean today.. Isn't it ?

And, Norman Lewis just rocks! :)

Really really cute!

I kept on hitting the "Replay" button, for quite sometime by now!
