And there goes another one.

I am taking a break from all this conversation reporting to end the year on this blog. It's been one hell of a year with SO much happening. A year that's already had a half year review in June :)

I am lucky enough to be making my second trip to the mountains in three months. Can't wait to breathe in that air and soak in the sun (hopefully there will be some sun at least).

I'll always remember you 2013.  For all that you put me through. 

The laughter. The rain. The kids. Thandi. Old Monk. Coke. 4S. Tears. Screaming. Goa. Apps. Emails. Museum. Rushdie. Haroun. Fogg and Aouda. Love. Warmth. Emptiness. Salzburg. Budapest. Andretta. The driving. The back aches. The naps. Sleepless nights. doodle. Decimals. Fractions. Writing. Hemant Da. Rafi. Kishore. Faiz. Books. Some more. The sun.

To all this and more.

Happy New Year!

Let's see what you have to offer 2014.

R: Jab tak iss ka pati zinda tha hum iss ko poochte bhi nahi they.  Khush ho ya dukhi.  Par ab woh
nahi hai toh hume hi sochna padta hai.

V: Utho jao ab.  Darwaza band karwaiye.  Kitni baari bola hai school ke baad jaldi nikla karo.  Bas aap logo ka hi kaam nahi khatam hota.  Subah aa kar kiya karo kaam.

V: Madam aap toh jante ho.  Aise school mein.  Akele.  Safe nahi hai.  Kyu nahi samajhte hai.
