Have a fabulous year ahead everyone ! :) </p> <p align="justify">This place has become somewhere where I peek in once every year.. Looks like I'm not getting any better with my time management issues. Or may be its just that Im just too lazy to write up anything.</p> <p align="justify">Last year had been too hectic. And..I know this year is going to be far worse, with my final year exams and all. I just hope I have it in me to get through. </p> <p>x</p> Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-71849704379129572252012-02-17T21:07:00.001+05:302012-02-17T21:08:57.352+05:30Last minute problem..<p align="justify">Life is hectic as ever and I still do things in the last minute..as always. Why I leave things till the last minute is still a mystery to me. I plan everything ahead and try to work things on time and at times it even looks like I might be able to finish up early. But still..somehow.. when the time comes, I find my self loaded down with so many unfinished tasks and stuff ! Even in the exams, while I write the answers, I plan and allocate time for each question..But in the end, I always find myself scribbling like a maniac to finish on time. </p> <p align="justify">My friends say I seek too much of perfection and control on everything I do and that’s why I take too long to finish..Though I’m not sure about that I must admit I look for satisfaction in whatever I do..Seeking job satisfaction and being a perfectionist are two different things..at least so in my opinion.</p> <p align="justify"> I mean, if I’m not happy about what I do, then what’s the point? Ah..well, enough with my ranting. Hope I’ll get the hang of this time problem of mine soon..or may be not :P </p> <p align="justify">Happy weekend everyone! </p> Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-55216610746413090612012-02-10T19:54:00.001+05:302012-02-10T19:55:34.034+05:30The passive observers..<p align="justify">Most of the time people prefer to be just passive observers..Not wanting to get involved..Especially if the situation is tricky and doesn’t directly involve them..But as it’s famously said- what goes around comes around. </p> <p align="justify">I’m one of those people who speak their mind and act on impulse..somehow it gives me a sense of completeness, sense of relief that I’ve got nothing to hide, nothing to act about. But I almost always get into trouble for that..troubles which initially had nothing to do with me. </p> <p align="justify">Sometimes I wonder whether I should also become a passive observer..and stay out of trouble. It would help me stay out of trouble..Would keep me away from unnecessary stress..But then I’ll miss being myself..I won’t get that sense of freedom and relief. Unspoken words and the consequences will always haunt me. I guess its better to be ‘myself’....Outspoken and a trouble magnet.. yet original..</p> Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-31361262952865842392011-09-28T20:50:00.001+05:302011-09-28T20:52:08.026+05:30Just for a laugh :)<p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DhyXXNvTGk8/TegXA17ZyiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/vA_YizfpTu4/s1600/cow.jpg"> <p> <p><strong>A cow was kept for viva</strong>:</p> <p><strong>Premed student</strong>- its a cow!<br><strong>Medical student</strong>- Perhaps this is a cow!<br><strong>After MBBS</strong>- This may b a cow or a hypopigmented buffalo!<br><strong>MD/MS</strong>- This may be a hypertrophied goat or an atrophied elephant with congenital anomalies</p> Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-32364520371517654222011-03-19T10:49:00.001+05:302011-03-19T10:52:01.906+05:30I’m lovin’ it..<p>Woke up to a beautiful morning.

Made only 1 post without counting this... Feeling like a stranger in my own space. Well..I didn't stay away on purpose. I just didn't feel like writing anything… May be i was running out of ideas and topics.. May be I was too busy with my nose buried in ‘bailey and love’<strong>..</strong>Or maybe it was just me being too lazy.. <em><font color="#0000ff">*typical*</font></em> ;) </p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/TRhkVowaJoI/AAAAAAAAAjw/JzUpfD-3kIM/s1600-h/42-21712539%5B8%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="42-21712539" border="0" alt="42-21712539" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/TRhkW_XX89I/AAAAAAAAAj0/JUtaPQhSI-g/42-21712539_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="230" height="323"></a></p> <p align="justify">With only 4 days left to say adieu to 2010, I felt like a post is long overdue here..I had no idea about what I was going to write. Nevertheless I just started typing randomly and then..I realized, all of a sudden, how much I missed this place...All this time I thought I’ve lost my passion for writing..! I think I should put more effort into blogging..Or maybe I should take care of my time management issues first..!</p> <p align="justify">This Christmas had been really wet, cold and freezing as ever..But not even the heavy rains could dampen the festive spirit..Hope everyone enjoyed the Christmas..For me, the 1 week break for Christmas had been the highlight. :) </p> <p align="justify">Well anyway..This year had been a really busy one..And, the next year is going to be even busier. Just finished the 2nd medicine appointment..and now so looking forward to start my 2nd surgical appointment…I know its going to be tough , hectic and everything..But still I’m sure I’ll enjoy it ! :) </p> <p align="justify">That's enough for one post..Now I should probably get back to revising for the exams…</p> <p align="justify"><em><font color="#0000ff">Cheers everyone..!

You wake up at 6am on a weekend although you don't have   work.</p> <p>2.

In the end I decided that I should speak my mind..I should speak about what’s really happening around me in my country.. </p> <p align="justify">The Srilankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared yesterday,in the parliment, Victory in the country’s 30year civil war against LTTE.. Today has been declared as a public holiday over the nation to celebrate the victory. </p> <p align="justify">Following are a few quotes from the president’s speech-</p> <p align="justify"><strong><em><font color="#004000">"We have won and restored democracy in the country."</font></em></strong></p> <p align="justify"><strong><em><font color="#004000">"a new country ... a new nation,"</font></em></strong></p> <p align="justify"><strong><em><font color="#004000">"the defeat of Tamil terrorism ... a victory for the Tamil people."</font></em></strong></p> <p align="justify">Also the Sri Lankan military has released pictures of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran which it says prove conclusively that he is dead. There were too many contradictory announcements by the Army, which aroused many doubts over the reliability of the news. The BBC says-<em> “ The government argues that there are perfectly innocent explanations for the differing accounts of Prabhakaran's death - that in war time what is happening on the battlefront can sometimes get confused.”</em></p> <p align="justify">Now..<strong><em><font color="#800000">Is this really the END? has the war really come to an END? Is the suffering of Tamils over yet? Does this mean an end to the conflict in SL?</font></em></strong></p> <p align="justify">My answer is<strong><em><font color="#800000"> “NO”</font></em></strong>. </p> <p align="justify">The Srilankans are dancing in the streets, firing fire crackers, playing bands and songs, burning models of prabhakaran, and so on..They are celebrating. Not all the Srilankans are celebrating though.  I mean, what is there to celebrate really? <em><font color="#004000"><strong>This wa</strong></font></em><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/ShOI9qR7kUI/AAAAAAAAAdA/I-M91_-5bQU/s1600-h/untitled%5B6%5D.png"><em><font color="#004000"><strong><img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="untitled" alt="untitled" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/ShOJAUiamNI/AAAAAAAAAdE/Ol0ce0buu2I/untitled_thumb%5B6%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="217" height="166" /></strong></font></em></a><em><font color="#004000"><strong>r has brought nothing but loss and death on both sides.</strong></font></em>   So many innocent Singhalese and Tamils have lost their lives.

They said that they had been held back by the tigers in the war zone as human shields…They blame tigers for many deaths. Anyway, were they relieved to have escaped from there? No they were still worried..if possible, more than before..They were worried about the Army ..They were all considered by the army as LTTE..Even a small baby with amputated limbs..!!  They don’t feel safe anywhere. <strong><em><font color="#004000">Why they are condemned to feel insecure in their own mother nation?</font></em></strong><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/ShOJBTkM5vI/AAAAAAAAAdI/preZROoSni4/s1600-h/capt_eb6f6629d8b942e88d05be4f4bba4582_sri_lanka_tamil_civilians_xej103%5B8%5D.jpg"><strong><em><font color="#004000"><img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="capt_eb6f6629d8b942e88d05be4f4bba4582_sri_lanka_tamil_civilians_xej103" alt="capt_eb6f6629d8b942e88d05be4f4bba4582_sri_lanka_tamil_civilians_xej103" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/ShOJCcyAmZI/AAAAAAAAAdM/52LmRloDawo/capt_eb6f6629d8b942e88d05be4f4bba4582_sri_lanka_tamil_civilians_xej103_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="172" height="240" /></font></em></strong></a>  </p> <p align="justify">What is the future of these people?

I was in Colombo when this news reached the public. Me and my brother were walking out from KFC, and there was a group of Tamil boys walking before us with handful of  chocolates. Then there came a group of boys, apparently Singhalese, in a van, playing loud Singhalese song.  One of the boys in the van opened the van door and kicked the boys walking before us & laughed as they fell down. Then they screamed some very rude words at us and drove away.  I was SHOCKED! I never expected this. That was just an example of what’s happening here now.</p> <p align="justify"><strong><em><font color="#800000">**</font></em></strong>All over the nation, those who don’t have a National Flag flying out in their houses or workplaces are being brutally attacked. I’m now back in Batticaloa and here they are handing out National flags in the streets and ordering people to hoist them at their houses.

It’s now more than a month since I last posted anything here..I got lost among my studies..I let the works overpower me..I couldn't find any time to wander around here. <em><span style="color: #008000">But Its no excuse of course</span></em>.

I’m so bad with time management so that I find 24 hours per day is not enough!</p> <p align="justify">Well anyway..I’ve been feeling a bit low for a while . Don't know why exactly.

As you all know, I was freaking out with my semester exams..Since exams ended last Thursday (12th), I'm<span style="color:#008000;"><em> bit</em> </span>relieved now...</p><p align="justify">I said <em>'bit'</em> relieved . Coz there's no time to relax. New semester has already begun. They started off the lectures for the new semester on the very next day after the exams. <em><span style="color:#008000;">Not a single day to celebrate the end of exams! *Sighs* </span></em>According to our semester plan and schedules, we should have got about 5 days of freedom before we burry ourselves in the books once again. But NO! NOT a single day of relief. They have canceled the leave. </p><p align="justify">I've been looking forward for those holidays <em>so much</em>.

But most importantly, i was looking forward to go home. I haven't been there since last October and I so badly wanted to see my mom :(. I miss her so much. And, its my most beloved grandpa's B'day on Monday- 16th Feb. I wanted to be with him on 16th... </p><p align="justify">It was all those happy prospects which kept me going...But on the last day of our exams..just before we did our last module<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/SZZE09E340I/AAAAAAAAAYc/UFaKfdELde8/ist2_3974419-student-holding-books.jpg"><img height="293" alt="ist2_3974419-student-holding-books" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/SZZDK_KqUNI/AAAAAAAAAYg/l2doze72Dtk/ist2_3974419-student-holding-books_thumb.jpg" width="201" align="right" /></a> they put up the new semester schedule along with a notice which announced that all our holidays have been canceled.My spirits sank so low after seeing that notice so that I could hardly concentrate on my last paper.. </p><p align="justify">They are planning to finish about 3 modules in 2 weeks and then give us a week leave to study those and...<em>exams again!! </em><em><span style="color:#009900;">*Is it like this in all medical schools??!!*</span></em></p><p align="justify"><em><span style="color:#009900;"></span></em></p><p align="justify"></p><p align="justify">Well, there is no point worrying.

Exams will start on 5th. They put up the exam schedule this Friday. <em><span style="color:#008000;">I feel lost.</span></em> I feel like as if I'm in the middle of nowhere. I haven't finished studying. I don't think I can finish revising all before the exams. On top of this, we have lectures until 4th..Not a single damn day of study leave.

Yes its me! And trust me, I'm not so happy about it. </p><p align="justify">I happen to have very long , thick, black wavy hair. I love my hair of course..But now its getting bit too long and I find it very hard to manage it on my own. I regret having such thick hair <em>only </em>when I find myself having to comb and put all this in a plait when I'm nearly late for the lectures.</p><p align="justify">I get a hair cut once in every 2 months or so. When I say hair cut, it actually means hair trimming or reshaping it and shortening it up to my waist length. But it grows again too fast and catches up with my mid thigh level before I could trim it again.<em> Just like magic! </em>Cutting it up to my shoulder level should solve this problem. Its not just that..I also love to iron my hair like many other girls :)..But there are two things which impede in carrying out this solution. Firstly, my mom and then -<em>My mind itself</em>! Mom doesn't approve of cutting my hair too short nor ironing. But I know she would allow me to do so, at least reluctantly - only if I could persuade her more. But I find it hard to do that because somewhere in the corner of my mind I'm happy with this hair... <em><span style="color:#008000;">Such contradictions..!</span> </em>I'm getting tired of such contradictions of my own mind! <span style="color:#008000;">*<em>Of course girls minds work in mysterious ways..!</em>*</span></p><p align="justify">I asked my friends for some opinion which would help me to ma<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/SW6uJStPyUI/AAAAAAAAAWw/j_N0VAp1lPY/rapunzel[5].jpg"><img height="370" alt="rapunzel" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_SrawqpRavnQ/SW6uKbJ3PNI/AAAAAAAAAW0/pmlC7fp0tvY/rapunzel_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg" width="255" align="right" /></a>ke up my mind and decide. My friends say I've got gorgeous hair and so not to ruin it. Still some of them say It'll look more lovely if I cut it and iron it. <em><span style="color:#008000;">*Thank U..It really helped..I'm more confused now :P.*</span></em></p><p align="justify">During last Christmas holidays I pleaded with my mom so much so that at last she granted permission to do temporary ironing but made me promise to her that I wont cut it too short after ironing. Well, I tried ironing and it was a <em>disaster</em>! My thigh length hair became knee length.. It attracted so many eyes on the streets and shopping malls and I received so many requests to divulge my secret of charming hair <span style="color:#008000;">*<em>Rolls eyes*</em></span> I hate it when people stare.. Well anyway I've learned my lesson- Not to iron my hair again without cutting it short :). </p><p align="justify">Well..In short - I'm now in a kind of dilemma..Torn between the wish to have a new 'easy to manage' hair and a desire to keep my 'hard to manage but lovely to look at' hair. <em>As for now..Until I change my mind again..<span style="color:#008000;"> I guess I'll have to stand on the top of a tower, put my hair down through a window and wait for my Prince charming :D </span></em></p>Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com70tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-77685635260485474312009-01-11T13:36:00.002+05:302009-01-11T13:38:47.135+05:30I've been Tagged!<p>Another Tag..I've been tagged by<strong> Brocasarea</strong>, <strong>Hemanth</strong> and <strong>Saranya</strong>..Thanks everyone.. I've done it at last!! </p><p>I had a bit of problem doing it coz the 3 questionnaires were a bit different. So I chose few questions from each. </p><p><strong>RULE #1</strong> <em>People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.</em></p><p><strong>RULE #2</strong> <em>Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people.</em></p><p><strong>1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?</strong></p><p>If someone <em>truly</em> loves you then they wont betray..True love never knows betrayal.</p><p><strong>2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?</strong></p><p>to be happy alllll the time..</p><p><strong>3. Whose butt would you like to kick?</strong></p><p>There are too many to list..;)</p><p><strong>4. Why do you blog?</strong></p><p>Well..Mmm I love to blabber..hehe :)</p><p><strong>5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?</strong></p><p>That'd be wonderful! so why not? ;)</p><p><strong>6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?</strong></p><p>I say - both. Either way, it is a blessing that you could <em>feel</em> the love.</p><p><strong>7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?</strong></p><p>I really don't know. I'm not <em>intending</em> to wait or rush into a relationship. </p><p><strong>8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?</strong></p><p>Well..I'll simply let go, I think. :P</p><p><strong>9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?</strong></p><p>Against war!</p><p><strong>10. What takes you down the fastest?</strong></p><p>Lies and flirts..</p><p><strong>11. What scares you?</strong></p><p>Cockroach..!! :(</p><p><strong>12. What’s your strength?</strong></p><p>Being able to smile everyday despite my problems and worries.. :)</p><p><strong>13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?</strong></p><p><em>Brocasarea </em>- A hard working medico who loves his studies :)</p><p><em>Hemanth </em>- A Sweet person who'd give everything in friendship. :)</p><p><em>Saranya</em> - A beloved friend who cherishes friendship :)</p><p><strong>4. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?</strong></p><p>Its really hard to say. I prefer the way I am now.

What is the first thing you do when you wake up?</strong></p><p>Check the time! </p><p><strong>16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?</strong></p><p>I don't think its possible to fall in <em>love </em>with 2 people.

Would you give all in a relationship?</strong></p><p>Yes!</p><p><strong>18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?</strong></p><p>Honestly speaking, I find it hard to forgive easily..It takes me sometime to forget..But I always do forgive & forget in the end..I hate to hold grudge against people..</p><p><strong>19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?</strong></p><p>I'm single now and loving it..!! So I prefer it this way..:)</p><p>May be I'll have to eat my words when I end up having an affair..I don't know.. :P</p><p><strong>20. Tag 6 people.</strong></p><p>This is the hardest part. Everyone I know have already done this tag and 3 of them have tagged me before I could tag any of them..</p><p>So I'm tagging <em>anyone </em>who wants to do this tag :)</p><p> </p>Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732111511979960027.post-5038451352064838442008-12-25T07:55:00.009+05:302008-12-25T08:17:47.054+05:30Have a Blessed Christmas..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPPe6ejQJaP1kEZg4ThgrRTOgQfHRUaNr8cidR7Elz9oYJ7Hqu3lh23D0bYQzfAdIeVFoZXkUm_ZFJfZq2SmaUT4IS8S_TAEEpVFj5IMr5L75j29iyfzmVtt_yond7bpOyVzlahP5Vroj/s1600-h/Ho_Ho_Ho_web_smallest_t3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283550521411003474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPPe6ejQJaP1kEZg4ThgrRTOgQfHRUaNr8cidR7Elz9oYJ7Hqu3lh23D0bYQzfAdIeVFoZXkUm_ZFJfZq2SmaUT4IS8S_TAEEpVFj5IMr5L75j29iyfzmVtt_yond7bpOyVzlahP5Vroj/s320/Ho_Ho_Ho_web_smallest_t3.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p></p><p align="justify">Its Christmas already..

Firstly, the train which I traveled collided with an elephant on the way! Luckily for us, the train didn't derail from the tract. But very unfortunately the elephant died in the spot. It was a huge one. We were in the middle of a forest line and we had to wait many hours before the railway people turned up , moved the elephant out of the tract and repaired the railings. The accident happened at 1am in the morning and we were able to move again only at 5.30 am - More than 4 hours delay..On top of this, I'm having a bad head cold and fever since y'day. Maybe its because I traveled in an A/C compartment on a very frosty night. I feel bit better today, and hope I'll be fine soon.</p><p align="justify">Well its Christmas today..I'm sure this day will be better than the one I left behind. Hope everyone is having a nice time. </p><p align="justify">These are some snaps I clicked away in a shopping mall l. I liked the decorations. (<em>Pictures are not much clear as I took them with my mob :P Last one is blurred..I took it while on move.</em> :) )</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283552073111185234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPWLNgRhVAbHlr-ADNVDjDqyjwG6tmDtxH2X5GhL0irsV630ex44AQl0l_B1_RFCH0LW7VJmvHdR_QbWI1sji6i3qLfbGpR1HToW-wjTDUT0g5H4_Wr1-N-oOw_ZakFdlXu0uLGouXi-K5/s320/DSC00350.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283551149335953122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPPEupJXmUnw4f7rpOi2YpTXm6QPUliBhIpYV-qRpslFn9cJtUdRqD4w54IjDDPN9BkZep-1YMFNkLZ3qX_sRcpjMxu-q_J7XancmpezJ8U24xQW4nRCiUIkofC7O4RtSyeSzAm-Ja5a6x/s320/DSC00346.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283551800635640482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiirHfpvmQWRkKWokzlJ6kfc8PPzuuWcdJK6V1wvEG1-vJslTXDAF-GclV-_P1U2DyTwi81DKTy0jS-W_DtV4FvD1ZWUwZGhuksBXz_vfFw7RLwfF4CazCtL_cUFB0IPScUCTwRH5Wm2n9P/s320/DSC00348.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283552321619373506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="fnbcvn" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZfkKQG-XTKg_x8IOqNPcJjpL_fNGu58VqP3c0npHVSkfDoYl42gDAyTRJ-_oTDxL1QS32emIeA90xhi7tQIQKB3YECXVqATx_dVn4ntOIDkdhTmbldgdrFcYdxqQGgi8Fn1pS7HFMNJmE/s320/DSC00349.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><br /><strong>Merry Christmas Everyone..!</strong><br /></div>Vanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15091323966267323425noreply@blogger.com11
