The preparation is quite simple.

Dec 25th
“Remember This December, That love weighs more than gold!“
~ Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Let this Christmas bring happiness and joy in everyone’s family.
Here is one of my favorite Christmas song.
Also, I have a request for you! In this holiday season I would request everyone to come forward and donate for the needs of disabled children living all over the world. Any gift to them would give them great happiness!
Won’t you think they it would be great if they get happiness on behalf of you? Please think today and donate your gifts. May lord bring peace and grace to you this season. There is plenty of ways to help them but if you’re not able to find and looking for one please let me know; I can help you out.
Once again, Merry Christmas!

Back to home
Sep 8th
If you know me then you would probably know that I’m staying away from my home for a while. I’m traveling back to India today (blogging from airport now) . I’ve been little busy with other stuff here or didn’t like to write much so you would have not seen much posts for a while. Hope I’ll be all set after my two weeks vacation in India!
BTW, traveling back home really feels good
See you guys back soon.

Panasonic Lumix FZ50
Aug 23rd
I always wanted to own an advanced digital camera. I have been thinking for a while and I have been annoying some of my friends (Chris, Sailesh and Amir) who are really good at photography. Finally I decided to purchase Panasonic Lumix FZ50 (goldcoster’s Lumix review helped me make a decision too). I ordered the camera couple of days back and now I have it in my hands! I’m more excited to try it out, so wait for more detailed review!
With new camera coming in I’m planning to start a photo blog of my own. Now I’m looking for better platform for photo blogging. I’m currently trying to setup WordPress + Flickr photo blog. If you have any better suggestion for the photo blogging platform, please suggest me.
BTW, now I’m a proud owner of Lumix camera!
