People are getting addicted to Twitter and I am getting re-addicted to this blog :) After ideating, reporting, writing and ideating again at the workplace, it is quite difficult to write anything on your blog without journalistic seasonings... But believe me, I always try.
Spoke to a classmate from my school days after almost six years. As expected, the punjabi munda had gone to canada after +2 and has been working there since. I was duly informed that he has settled there and has come to India only a month ago to get married. When I asked him what he did, he told me that he is a journey man machinist. Now even with all my usable and only-for-pleasure-but-generally-unusable knowledge plus my googling skills, I could not understand the exact nature of the work he does. And when I asked him, he went offline. So, I checked with Tanya (closest friend from college). She always has a lighter take on things, which is more often than not, a blessing if I want to rave and rant (which I usually do). She believes that a journey man machinist is must be a new fangled way of referring to a cabbie. So much for my query!
Anyway, I have made no new year resolutions, like every year, but I have started making a to-do-must-do list. I will shortly put that along side the other lists on this blog. Here are the first two entries. Will add more in due course of time.

1. Visit New York for Christmas (the return ticket currently costs Rs 65,000, so alternative cities can be chosen )
2. Write a Mills and Boon type of novel
