Greetings

Happy New Year Y'all!

A bit late-ish I know but in the words of the original Athanasius - "Better Late Than Never".

It was a fantastic 2007 Christmas for me because I was with the family this year. I got to Mumbai at 5 a.m. on Christmas day. Went home and got into the large giftwrapped box that was prepared earlier by Jacqui. Then Rithika was woken up and told that her X-mas gift had arrived and that she had to come out and open it. And as she opened the box I chose to pop out.

The look on her face was priceless. There was a mixture of fear, amazement and awe. Fear because the gift was alive and had moved...., Amazement because she saw that it was me......, and Awe ........ well.... I look at myself in the mirror and stare in awe. No shortage of vanity here (you might be thinking).

The New Year's party was a good thing till ofcourse the cops arrived and shut us down. But what was had was pretty good and was just getting better at the time of the intervention. Must find a way to prevent this from happenning again. Alas! if there only was a basement available I would probably have to be installing a laminate flooring every six months because it'd get danced out in that amount of time. And so for 2008, gays and gals here's wishing you ................... have a ball !!.....or two !!.... three if you must.

Our dog Einstein used to go 'Awwwww' when riled up enough and a quick press to the rib cage. Is that the sort of 'Awe' that you're talking about?????

And there you go...even the dog was in awe of me (and Dhiraj, to be completely honest).

...And my dear Noel, we D'Souzas do everything well(in varying degrees, ofcourse), extremely well I might add. Now it's sad that you are not a D'Souza anymore.

Enough said!!
