Martin Luther King, Jr. (I Have a Dream)

It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

Season's Greetings

Just carved out this portion of time to wish everyone out there a splendid yuletide season. This is a season to shower lots of love on all and sundry (those that stood by us in good and bad times; when things seem to be upside down in our endeavours).

We need to go all out and paint every face with laughter and smile. Don't let this season pass by without letting someone feel your maximum positive impact.

Hey! hey! hey! You watch it. Yeah, it's celebration time but you need to be conscious of excesses in your marked out activities. Gulping down alkanols with no regulator within you leads to crass misconduct that might/will dent your reputation. Be wise reader.

Happy season's fete.
