One of those days, when you want to sit idle for sometime to take a journey back not very distant but from the beginning of this year to close down the curtain to usher in to new year 2012. But this very idea also coincides with the urge to sit back long with friends on a bottle of wine to good bye 2011. Life always presents two options , it depends at a particular moment what prevails. Hope to do both. Overall year 2011 was very productive with lot of hard works. Look forward to implement these in year 2012. Happy new year for wining and reflections .

The reunion of BIT Mesra 82 batch was planned at Ranchi from 26-28th December 2011. I attended and enjoyed to the fullest. More than 150 batchmates manage to come to Ranchi with taking time out from their busy schedules. It was one of the best managed alumni meet. Everything was in order. Many participated with their families. Seeing the canteen boy "Bata" after 25 years with bunch of cigarattes packet of all brands in hand. Taking us back to our college days. Bata mind was like a computer in those days he remembers the number of cigarattes taken by all by face, close to 50-60 accounts at a time. His memory was amazing. The other interseting thing was to re-register many of the faces after so many years and also reality check with the face book friends. Due to time constraints I returned one day early but it is worth a life time experience. Thanks goes to Ranchi team.

Traffic will be very slow tomorrow morning due to I- day preparatory parade. Follow new proposed traffic routes otherwise I remember last year it took me 2 hours to reach office in place of 45 minutes. It will be very slow. Prepare yourself and particularly for North to south or vice versa.

Central govt. and state govt. must be very happy that the focus on impending drought in many states has been shifted to contain Sw ine flu. The prices of essential commodities are sky rocketing. Still private hospitals are not taking any step to support govt. for curbing spread of swine flu. However in Ayurveda and Homeopathy there is a preventive dose of swine flu. The mother of all problem is poor sanittaion and swine flu is also not exception to it. Poor sanittaion will fuel its spread more widely.
