Cheers to 2008 and celebrating 2007!

New Year's Day is every man's birthday. ~Charles Lamb
What makes 2007 special is:
* My engagemet to Emon.
* Having the most memorable official tour to Singapore and getting a chance to meet thousands of media and Communications guru from around the world.
*Having my nephew calling me aunt (khala) ..which does sound a lot like "Tala" though.
* Seeing my younger brother being interviewed on national TV for the first time.
* Getting back in touch with my oldest school and college friends like Sania, Pinky, Gauri, Shehab, Inam and Sohana. I actually met Shehab, Inam and Sohana after 12yrs.
* New friends are always a blessing. I made some really good friends this year and came to know them pretty well like Marium, Rahat, Momita, Rozana and Rubayat.
* Attending Samina and Rob's wedding. Samina one of my oldest buddy from school days.
* Birth of Deeba, Deenaa and Babu's baby daughter, two of my closest friends from Bangalore.
* Attending the wedding of Shanu and Russell, two of my students. I had taught them Biology in Grades 5 and 6 about 13 years ago.
* Completing my MBA (Touch wood) finally after three rigorous months of continuous exams.
* Learning that life should not revolve around work as everyone at work is replaceable.
* This year marks great tidings for my friends Jobayer, Imti, Rahat and Marium for their brand new beginnings in their life.
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~Oprah Winfrey
