As 2007 seems to fly....

So we are here at the 2nd last day of the 2nd month....sometimes it feels like yesterday was New year's day and some other times it feels like while is time as snail-paced as traffic in the mornings! Weird....Maybe I am going crazy or not making good use of time...I dont know! February has been a very good month according to me. I finally got done with the seeminly never-ending Finance paper, V-day finally made a lot of difference (and sense too!) , my beautiful sister's birthday, SR got selected for the Radio contest , my new sis is getting a recognition from college.....and most of all, better understanding of my partner. D-day nears -- it fills me with excitement,anxiety,worries. Everyday is like part of a huge countdown, there's so much to do and a whole lot to take up and look forward to! Its testing at times, I can lose my cool and go horribly out of sync! Then I have to take a walk, get in some more fresh air and let Mother Nature calm me and in her own language tell...

Excuse me...did you call it "Patriotism"?

End of Jan marked decorated vehicles in the UAE-many private cars sporting the national flag, some a football at the back, some with the rulers's pics and some others with stars and hearts stuck on the bodies ....There is sudden outflow of LOVE towards the nation... I don't follow Football anymore and hence I was unaware of the recent win of UAE team at the 18th Gulf Cup championship. What surprises me is, I have not seen such celebration by the locals even during National Day! Having lived here for most of my life, not 1 National Day all these 24 yrs has brought up decorated cars or flags.....So what is it that is being celebrated???One historic win in a game of football is more important than the success the nation has achieved? A team of 15 (or maybe more) is more important than all the lives that served the nation to bring about what it is today, possibly even the better coaching the National team received.... I dont get it...Do you? As usual, Funny world we live in.... Nev...
