Time of year has arrived when travel plans, party plans presides over defects and status reports. So i take liberty of being non technical and thanks all readers across the globe for wonderful support and comments with very warm new year wishes. May new year brings lot of happiness with less defects,more siebel patches, hefty pay hike, hot gal friend or boy friend (only for bachelors), trimmed waistline. May you get a clean bill from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your podiatrist, your mechanic and your plumber. May your hair, your teeth, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest rates not rise. May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May every day of the new year glow with good cheer and happiness for you and your family. Happy 2k12!!
