Wishing You all a Very Happy New Year...







The murmuring sound of the leaves on huge trees , the mesmerizing view of the running mountains , the melodious music played back in the background, the mansions holding breath - all minimized my temptations for the mouthwatering, delicious dishes that are awaiting me in the party. We are gifted with many beautiful things on earth which are often forgotten. Why is it so??

Did you make any new year resolutions this time??

Have you ever counted the bad or negative sides you have in you?? And have you ever thought of cutting down those bad branches of your life tree??

Sharing these thoughts i wish you all a Very HaPPy NeW yEar....
