A new Day 1-1-11

A new day has come which we will write as 1-1-11 no matter you are a DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY follower.Living in the South pacific,closer to the international date line has an advantage of being one among few million people on earth to welcome the new year before the rest of the world.

Except for the fact that we follow a calendar which has only 12 months and all the 12 months of this cycle are over and we are restarting the cycle, I hardly see any specialty about Jan 1st ( midnight of Dec31 st).May be because I am one among those few billion people who have seen transition of a Millennium in my life time, this change of year is sometime I am feeling as a common thing happening every 365 days.

I am seeing in TV today about hundreds of thousands of tourists flocking and trying to get a prime spot to get the spectacular view of the firework show at the Harbour Bridge, Thousands of people gathered at Time Square in the west and Dataran Merdeka in the east and any other important spots of all cities and towns around the world to welcome this transition.As usual this celebrations are infectious habits where one tend to follow others with no reasons for him/her to do so.

Despite all these, it was really a good scene to see everyone is enjoying in their own way,greeting each other, so much of bon homie spreading everywhere to welcome this moment.

I am wondering how good it will be if we greet each other " Happy new Day!!" by welcoming and celebrating each new day we get instead of waiting for 365 days. I was waiting to see which highly important document is going to be blessed to have my first signature of 2011-nothing special happened - I ended up as usual to sign my coffee bill handed over by my cheerful workmate.

When HE became IT and an air ticket became a freight charge

As I was thinking the events happened last week,there were couple of hard, sad days....One of my workmate passed away leaving his family,mates in despair.This sudden, unexpected loss has put me in a state of mental unrest.Adding to the loss, the reason for this loss being lack of medical facility in this tiny nation has shook my confidence. Two weeks ago it was my another workmate's spouse and this week my mate- both succumbed to lack of quality emergency medical assistance. 1. When one of my staff told me that this person has died.Shocked, I asked "where is "he "now?" .But the reply came "It is in the hospital" .No matter how dear a person is to us...he /she becomes "It" the moment something which we do not know what it is has left our physical body. 2. When my employer decided to bear the expenses of repatriation of his mortal remains,I was asked to proceed.As a practice, I approached the airline ticketing counter to know the fare and o

Let's get citizenship at Kailasa- the new Neverland of Nitthi

I have always been fascinated by the entertainments of this God   man, Nithyananda aka HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam ( HDH refers to His Divine Holiness). Despite being a rape accused fugitive, he has been making rounds on the media for building his own nation, KAILASA and more recently for unveiling Kailasa currency through the Reserve bank of KailasašŸ˜® Let us see some interesting, funny facts about Kailasa and its de facto head of the state. 1. Nitthi (as how he is fondly called by people who love him) is a smart man who calls his nation as an E-nation to avoid his followers and potential citizens of Kailasa asking him where it is located. There are speculations that Kailasa has been set up on a privately owned island off the coast of Ecuador or in the Turks & Caicos islands, Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean.However, these governments have been denying the entry and purchase of any island in their territory by Nitthi. 2. Buying a private island is not any thing new as many
