Returning after a long break Lot of thinga have heppened in the meanwhile. I have moved to a new office where the work is supposed to be both more challenging and exciting. So far nothing of that sort has happened, I will wait and watch for a little while. The weather has changed from autumn to winter, the winter monsoon is on, next to follow would be endless days of fog and icy winds. My daughter has been ill for the last two months; causing a great deal of anxity - will she lose another academic year, she has already lost two. The market is doing okay so my investents are giving good returns. Our three year old pet - a street dog whom we had adopted - passed away under mysterious circumstances. She was a gentle soul and very loving, she could follow simple commands like come, sit, stand, go, eat, no. However, the phrase that she loved to hear most was, 'Puchi is a good dog, every body loves Puchi'. Her loss affected us badly. We have brought a new pup home, a german shepard who is as naughty as a pup could be. He has not been keeping well for a week, occassionlly refusing to eat. We are very tense. As anticipated by me, Pakistan beat England, but mark my word India would be no push over. In fact, I would rate the outcome of the Test series 60:40 in India's favour. And lastly a new year has begun.
