The Dalai Lama (August 1999): "For me, it is nothing. New millennium, or new century, or new year. For me is another day and night. The sun, the moon, the stars remain the same."
I need no alcohol to get drunk but I have never understood all the hoopla about a new year. I get very excited on the morning of Indian new year day. This year like almost every previous year, I won't be awake when new years arrives. Neighbourhood noise of course will wake me up.
31st December is a busy day for Indian TV channels. Their anchors are very excited, people watching them- like a couple below- probably aren’t.
“With sensing of New Year you must be thrilled- heart must be beating faster, let us dance, let us sing!”

...a plan to escape.
But isn't this blog an effort to escape? Escape from one's own personality?
Well then I have a plan to escape from "escape".
I will be off for few days and will meet you some time in January 2008.
Happy New Year 2008. Thanks for all your encouragement and comments.
