Say it with flowers, they say ..I welcome you into the new year with these beautiful scented jasmines , freshly packed in Kumbakonam. There is so much to say when we think of a year gone by , but some of the best moments were in interacting and meeting a few bloggers in person – mainly Indrani, Priyank and Mridula and talking to Celine on the phone when she was in Mangalore recently. Of course, my day doesnt end if I didnt chat online with a few of them -mainly Vijay and Gopal .I get a feeling that 2009 will be a lot more sociable than 2008 and thats exactly what happenned on new year’s eve – we visited lots of friends who invited us over ..As Sharath remarked, we havent met so many people in just one night.I guess, this is the real essence of blogging as well-not just to express oneself , but to connect with more people..so, here is to more such moments.I dont know what 2009 has in store for me , but I am sure it will be a wonderful journey..I always felt that travelling through life is more exciting than arriving at a destination…Happy New Year !

    A wonderful and very happy New Year to you.
    Blogging is truly a wonderful place to make new connections – I had no idea where the path would take me when I started out just 4 short month ago. I didn’t have access to a computer for the last few days and I really missed it. Never thought that would happen:-))

    I can almost smell the scent from the jasmines. Nice picture.

    I agree with you – blogging is connecting me with people in a way that I never expected.

    I do hope 2009 is more sociable and fun.

    Happy New Year Lakshmi and to all the readers of this wonderful blog.

    2009 is going to be a little tough in terms of overall growth (and opportunities) but its definitely a good time to build and endure.

    All the best.

    “always felt that travelling through life is more exciting than arriving at a destination”..very true.

    there isn’t any destination,only the journey is called ‘life’.. destination is called death. and happyness/sorrow is state-of-mind.

    Have a peaceful, healthy & wealthy Happy 2009 and beyond.
