Given the magnitude of the catastrophe that struck on the last week of the year, it would only be natural to usher in the New Year with a hush..but the spirit and hope that is so inherent a part of human existence can never be diminshed.

Wishing everyone that the New Year brings peace and solace amidst the chaos and turbulence and that the spirit of survival raises itself to the challenge. And alongwith it the small mercies that add up to make our lives worthwhile.

Hope 2005 brings in the cheer and smiles back.
