The previous year end post on my blog reads “2010 – The Year of Violence”. But this year I think I don’t have much to say and I feel this yearend is of nothing but “Silence”. Silence, mostly because of the ruined holiday season on account of exams and again the ‘not so good’ Exams so far.
However 2011 had its share of fun and thrills. Here is a small recollection of my 100 moments/places/people in 2011
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous year 2012 !
