Goodbye 2011!

At the end of each year, I do this balancing of sheets to see how have the year been for me. It is bit different this year, that I can't really conclude whether it has been a productive enough year or not. I do have the calculation of what I have lost in this year, but the value of what I have gained is not yet measurable.
It could be that at some later stage, I would call 2011 the best year of my life or it might just prove to be a waste of 364 days. In the running spirit of appreciating the intriguing complexity of life, lets call it a pleasant experience.
Its Shakeel's first married new year's eve. Baby is applying for MS in BI. Aman and Jami will witness the ball drop in times square in about 5 minutes from now, I guess. Amir says "Big party in philly. Fireworks display! Wish you were here.". And Dee is cooking dinner :)
And I am plundering all my underground holes for any left-out smidgens of energy --to do research --to keep going on with life. I feel weak, very weak.

Happy new year Hayya :)

Today's champion showed me the Ottoman's hand,,,your eyes have round dark circles around them, your nose is like a mountain in a desert, your lips are so thin and yet you are pretty enough to survive in this world :)

Hayya Adnan, Tweedledee, why friends with ya?

Hayya is here: and he loves Her, says its the most amazing feelings ever; un-explainable. Tweedledee tells the story of Curious Oysters :)
And I have finally started realizing that if I do not the answer to 'the why', I will not know 'the how' to fix it. Shakeel is marrying in a week or so, and he says he is not nervous, because he is not like me.
