Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Tis that time of the year when smiles linger, email inboxes are chockfull of colorful greetings and the smell of cookies wafts by you every time you pass the office kitchen. It is also that time of the year when I feel this incredible urge to look back on the year past and look forward to the year ahead. While I spend the next few days putting down in words what this year meant to me, I do want to get a head start and wish you all Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a very, very HAPPY New Year!!!

I know! It IS lame! 🙂 But I figured in the age of copyright infringements why take a risk looking for pictures online. So, my attempt at capturing the festive times on the humble MS Paint. 🙂 Have a lovely year ahead folks!

It’s not at all lame Laksh! It’s straight from the heart! Merry Christmas, and in case I forget on the day, Happy Birthday to you. I hope you have a wonderful day :). Happy New Year to you – I pray that the New Year brings to you all the happiness you deserve.

  Thank you Bavani! I had fun doing it. Birthday was nice. Nothing out of the ordinary. An ordinary day made special because of the people who remembered. 🙂

Happy Holiday again Laksh. Going by your “writing” on paint, you must have a good handwriting!

  Thank you Suman! Perhaps we should exchange ‘real’ letters. That would be fun right?

    That’s good! I had a nice Christmas as well. I just finished the Odyssey for school, and I read The Fountainhead too. I started Atlas Shrugged a few days ago.

    I guess this is a phase. I went through Fountainhead (which I enjoyed) and Atlas Shrugged (which I could not make myself finish) around the the time I was done with school. I haven’t read a book in the past two years. Perhaps I should start this new year.

Belated birthday wishes Laksh. I was thinking of you throughout the day and was going to call you, but somehow couldn’t. Hope you had a wonderful day.
