2004 ended on a solemn note with the Tsunami taking a heavy toll in this part of the world. While Singapore, the country where I reside has been spared, Tamil Nadu my home state in India has been ravaged.

This blog was the best thing that happened last year and with it I had the pleasure of meeting a great bunch of people across the globe including some great, passionate bloggers.

I am thankful to you, dear readers for your encouragement. Thank you for making this blog possible.

In particular, I would like to thank Gautam Ghosh for sending the maximum readers to my blog.

I hope the new year brings peace, harmony and joy to all.
