Well, this diary is now one year old, and a year later, Mrinal and I still haven’t figured out what the tune was. I guess it must have been original, but today I can’t for the life of me remember what it was!

One year, 143 entries, that’s on an average one entry every 2.5 days – not bad.

When I started this diary, I was mostly alone in this thing – today, there is (of course) LiveJournal, where everyone and his uncle now keep what they call a “blog”. I know that I didn’t start this trend (thank God – at least one thing I can’t be blamed for!). In fact, the only ‘blogger I know who came in before me was Jace.

But then this is not a blog!

Last Saturday, we had a “little” party to make up for the doozy New Year’s. An openair barbeque potluck party on our huge lawn. Good fun, live music, great food, lots of drink, lots of chocolate mousse…. aaaaahhhhhh!

Lots of friends (whomever we could track down in the short period between conception of idea and party), including most of Phenom (JD went missing), our friends Swati and family, and of course most of Exocore.

We decided not to tie up Judo this time, which was a decision that found favour with everyone except Khader, whom Judo focussed on, and Shubha, who was embarrassed to death by Judo’s behaviour.

Will have some pics up eventually, plus a list of what everyone brought.
