The New Year

When the year changes here in India, there is an explosion of well wishes, all of which focus on having a "happy and prosperous 2009". The e.mails are filled with pictures of fireworks and dancing silhouettes, and the text messages are heart-felt.

I thought I would share an SMS that I got on New Years Eve, typed exactly as I got it:

Before 2008 ends, let me Thank all the good people like U who made '2008' beautiful 4 me. i pray u b blssed with lovely years ahead! HAVE A WONDERFUL 2009.

You just aren't going to get that anywhere else.
